Pont (pahnt)
Pont is a city-state located amidst the tributaries of the Felrock River in the South of Almeria. Also known as the City on Stilts, it guards the entrance of the Felrock River from the Devouring Gulf.
Government
As a city-state of the High Republic, the city elects a Praetor (currently Ulged Smeltfall) who serves locally while the Warden represents the city in New Erol.
Within the city, the court of aristocrats known as the Council of Omens control much of the city's day-to-day governance.
Districts
The Bend
The Bend is the least pleasant part of town. Lean-tos and shacks line the river bank. The stilted buildings are few: Kather's Carvings (built into a copse of trees), The House of Euphoria, and The Hunting Thief. The Green lies just to the south of the Pomeroy Ward at the highest point of this part of the district. The race track is muddy and rough, and the inside field is often used for fairs and other large events.Jaden
Jaden is the central residential district. The middle class of the city call the shotgun houses of Fauborg home. Near the Pomeroy Ward, the Druid's Market and The Krate provide entertainment in Jaden. Closer to the High Road, the The Guardhouse holds the town guard's headquarters. Also, the Telecabine Hub sends the elevated cable cars to the various districts of the city. Kytsalt's Armory has also taken up residence in this ward.Kendoral
The disparity of Pont's classes is ever present as the various rice plantations line the lands west of the Ridge Road and the shanty towns lie deep in the mud of between the east of the road and the Felrock River. In the southern end of Kendoral, the Stonespire stands as a reminder of the Battle of Kendoral. The expansive Smeltfall Estate sprawls on the southern end of Kendoral near Fort Kolisi.Kolisi
Fort Kolisi holds the line at the mouth of the Felrock River.Malò Barat
Malo Barat in the southeast of the city is the industrial quarter of the city: home to the Warehouse District and the Port of Pont. Near Jaden, the famous Ilun Cemetery stands behind its iron wrought fence. A few businesses serve Pont within Malo Barat: a beached ship, The Scoundrel and The Tankard, and a stone workshop, Hilda's Masonry. In the small stretch of Malo Barat that resides north of the High Road, the remnants of Burha Keep lie seemingly abandoned. Pomeroy Ward The oldest section of the city of Pont, the Pomeroy Ward is a tightly packed downtown area. This district is home to much of the nightlife and tourism of the city offering inns, shops, and restaurants such as the The Hungry Minstrel. Cathedral No'eau faces out to Samotheri Park and is flanked by two government buildings: The Guildhall and the Praetors Mansion. Docked in the south, the El Cuero houses the illustrious Pomeroy Casino.Silvère Hill
The upper class resides on the hill looking over Lake Disrose in the neighborhood of Paradis Vert known for its verdant gardens locked behind wrought iron fences. Saleah Tower stands as a mystery to the residents of Pont, a mysterious tower that stands overlooking Silvere Hill.Turmia
On the other side of the large community park known as the Solstice Meadows, the expansive campus of Turmis University borders the Silvere Hills. A branch of the Everhardt Archive - Pont welcomes all for research beside the Shrine of Baltha and the Bank d"pont.Guilds and Factions
