Darmstadt
Alternative Name(s): “City of Science” Type: City Population: 14,000 Owner/Ruler: Duke Schluter, Cobra. Darmstadt is a large port city that is nestled amongst hills and rocky outcrops that overlook the coast. The city is split into two, with Old Darmstadt, the original city with its varied temples, its two colleges, and the Darmstadt Observatory. And Neu Darmstadt which stretches down the banks to the mouth of the River Landgraben boasting a large sprawling docks for coastal vessels. Around the immediate surrounding area and leading down the South West coast to Kordel stretches a mixture of boggy marshes and patches of hillocks which are farmed by the skill boat dwelling Moorbauern (Bog Farmers). Following the Dale Road up to Dreis and Limburg sits a wide stretch of agricultured land, mostly comprimised of wheat, barley, sunflower, and rapeseed. Neu Darmstadt Neu Darmstadt largely compromises of sturdy wooden dwellings, docks, and dock storage to help fuel and aid the agricultural giant of Teutonia that Darmstadt helps foster. It’s docks, designed for low water is the stopping point for all vessels travelling up or down the River Landgraben and towns and villages who farm the surrounding lands. Surrounded by dock houses and warehouse is the ‘Oceans Wrath’. A beached wreckage of a deep-sea vessel that has become a Temple dedicated to the Mistress of the Sea. Old Darmstadt As the old town, Old Darmstadt has its history exposed in the stone buildings and walls. Here behind the fine walls reside the governmental buildings including the dukes home and the TCSO buildings. As well as hosting a selection of smaller temples spread around varied deities and a large temple and bathhouse dedicated to Bacchus named ‘The Summer Home of Bacchus ‘. The College of Art and the College of the Wine and Wheat overlook the fields sprawling to the North of the city. At the entrance of the two flanking colleges stand large humanoid statues of Leherin and Bacchus carved out of twinkling stone. The maker unattributed but rumours say gifts from Leherin and Bacchus themselves. At all times members of the TCSO stand guard due to numerous attempts to chip away at the semi-precious stonework. The Colleges of Darmstadt have introduced wide and varied new methods to agriculture and is largely applauded every few years as it hosts symposiums into progressive farming techniques. The tallest building, on a plateau behind the main keep sits Darmstadt Observatory, affiliated loosely with the College of Earthly and Celestial Studies, Darmstadt Observatory watches the stars. The Hochzeitsturm (‘The Wedding Tower’) is a large tower which sits in Old Darmstadt built by architect Josef Olbrich for his own wedding. Unfortunately, the building remains unfinished, as Olbrich passed away in the Python War, leaving the Hochzeitsturm half-built and a bad omen for marriage. Culture Some of the scholars from Darmstadt have a rare practice amongst other scholars, letting the hair and/or beard grow as soon as they have started their studies, and not till they have had their works published and applauded will they shave. Those scholars who remain unshorn are seen as scholars in the making. Another oddity of the Scholars of Darmstadt is for a Master of the College, to wear an iron ring around their neck (a mark of disgrace) until they publish scholarly material and graduate to a Doctor. Scholars of the city are regarded well by the farmers of the city due to the study and work they carry out, bettering the lives and work of all citizens. Moorbauern (Bog Farmers) the farmers who tend to hillocks amongst the boggy marshes have their own unique traditions too. It is expect that each Moobauren to have a workhound in their boat at all times. Moorbauern who have lost their dog or are without dog are regarded as Dunkel Moobauren (Dark Bog Farmers) and tradition states their crops cannot be trusted, as they are not protected by the Hund. Such a tradition has given rise to kennels, dog breeding and a large population of dogs to run free amongst New Darmstadt.
