Feolinn

Feolinn is a popular destination for wealthy socialites, and it is filled with businesses that specialize in indulgence and self-pampering. The city strays away from piracy and leans heavily into the type of tropical getaway many of the noble houses are looking for. Feolinn is the largest of the mainland settlements in the Lhazaar Principalities, but is still small compared to the other principalities.

Tree and Vine

The abundance of fruit and sweet roots harvested from the Plumgroves has given rise to a competitive wine and spirits industry. Feolinn wines and ciders are renowned throughout Taridad. The vintners of Feolinn are known for their intense pride - and for the disdain they have for other vineyards, such as those in the Aundairian city of Bluevine. Classic vintages auction well in Regalport, while high-end liquor is presented as a fine gift in noble circles. Competition between the local wineries and distilleries is cutthroat, with major organizations such as the Soliva Winery, the Laffath & Legrand Vineyards, the Leoleoa Cellars, and the Purple Breast Company all vying for local and international renown

Wine's Influence

Feolinn's reputation for vanity is well-deserved; even its leaders believe in their city's superiority. Prince Hector Soliva of the Soliva Winery family is the third prince of his bloodline to maintain the city's luxurious image, while also doing his best to elevate the prestige of his family's business. Medani agents are tipped by businesses to pay particular attention to their safety and Thuranni agents are paid to pry into the affairs of competitors. This culture of bribery has seeped into the local military force, the Green Thumbs, and has caused them to neglect the concerns of their city's underclass in favor of lining their pockets with "tips" from merchants.

Roots of Crime

Visible, violent, and unbecoming criminal activity is swiftly quelled to avoid tarnishing the reputation of the fair city. However, quiet lawbreaking occurs within back rooms of wineries and the mansions of the upper class. A number of powerful local businesses have even fallen in with the Nachtsheim to unseat their competitors, and though few are aware of it, Feolinn is now nearly as corrupt as Wroat. 

Plumgrove Settled

Buttressed against the southern edge of the Plumgrove Peninsula and surrounded by a number of small family farms, Feolinn is replete with rural charm. The city itself is comprised of four main roads that form a large rectangle, with each corner ending in a promenade filled with shops and pubs, while the city center is mostly made up of residential homes and affluent estates. Suamalie Way specializes in food and fine dining, while Alt'afi Avenue sports theaters, bathhouses, and other venues for private entertainment. Minceli Road contains administration buildings and Green Thumb barracks, and Soyer Street is home to many local harvesters and working-class folk.

Population: 21,700 (73% humans, 10% elves, 5% tieflings, 12% other races)
Government: Prince Hector Soliva runs the city, with wealthy, non-competitive businesses operating as an unofficial council. 
Defense: Green Thumbs keep the peace and protect the city perimeter. Affluent members of society also keep a hired guard. 
Hallmarks: Wine, indulgence, corruption

Tropical weather and fertile lands have enabled Feolinn to develop a prosperous wine trade across the Lhazaar Principalities and beyond.
