Piatarnia

Largest town of Elyades, Piatarnia -House in the forest- is built on the sloppy terrain that is the estuary of the "Fialli-fe-dia-digron" river.
Piatarnia was, in fact, the very first village in the region. This, added to the fact that it is between both Sylve and Welden made the governance council settle within its walls.

Layout

The city is built on a slope, next to the northern bank of the "Fialli-fe-dia-digron" river.
On top of the slope, next to the walls is the residential district. This is where most of the poor and average people live as it is pretty exhausting to walk up to the upper side of the city.
In the lower area of the slope are the merchant and artisanal district, where most of the shops, taverns, and workshops are. It is also where the wealthiest locals live: closer to the affluent places, as elyadesians love to party. Since the city's primary activity is forging, most of the workshops are located nearby the river or the sea to be closer to the water.
The council's building is located next to the docks, as the first governor of Piatarnia liked to have a view on the sea while he was working.

Demographics

Like its status implies, Piatarnia is also the most populated settlement of Elyades with around 2000 gerouns living there. The vast majority of them are either miners or fishermen, which are the two most wanted workers in the area.
Piatarnians do not escape the tradition of Elyades and enjoy gathering in taverns after workdays and playing dominos, listening to music or gambling on Dlinhiaplas fights. Unlike city taverns, those in the countryside and especially in the peninsula have large outdoor courtyards. Locals like nothing more than the warmth and smell of a good campfire to enjoy their leisure.

This is the closest thing to civilization you'll find in the bum fuck that is Elyades... Yeah, I know bum fuck is a bit rough, the country still has its good sides I guess. If you're looking for a few games of dominos, you're at the right place, at least.

Assets and infrastructure

Piatarnia is the shelter of the region. In the year 73, when the king granted every coastal city a budget to build walls in case of invasion from the seas, Piatiarna got designated to become the region's fortified city.
The walls are well maintained, and a small garrison is based in the city. The soldiers act both as a police force for all three villages and as a territorial patrol for the tiny region.
Piatarnia provides all three villages of Elyades and the Western Islands with Iron manufactured tools and goods. Thus, they built a fair amount of forges all over the city near its river. Once rudimentary, the forges are now brand new thanks to the government's investment in Morknar counseling.
While being the workplace of many fishermen, the docks are also used by small travel boats to link Elyades and the Western Islands.
