Seaview
The merchant's city of the coast, Seaview is the focal point of trade between the nations of Great Eethill and a few from outside the continent. The city was built on the point where the Kraken Cliffs become incredibly steep and close together making the city climb up them and split into three districts.
The Merchant's District
This district is the lowest where ships dock, warehouses store, and the thieves' guild operates. It's made up of thin but tall buildings, the first-floor walls always being covered with mud from the unpaved streets. Tunnels that puncture the cliff face climb up to the first cliff and the People's District.The People's District
Part civilian housing and part shopping area, the people's district has stones placed into their paths and many colors of flowers displayed beside it. At night it's protected by Seal Dogs, one of the many water-land mixed animals that were created by the coral forest, which begin to loudly bark to attract guards when danger is about.The Empire's District
Using a rope-and-pulley operated lift, citizens of Seaview can climb up to the second cliff and to the Empire's District. Being the highest point in Seaview, mansions are built here to see the ocean view beyond the cove. The Requian Coast's richest members of society live in this district around the Castle of the Iron Bell where the King of the Cliffs rules.Defense
Other than the Requian Navy, Seaview's sides are protected by stone walls built largely to keep out the wild. Threats from enemy forces are otherwise protected by the cove the Seaview is built next to, which only has three points of entry that make it incredibly easy to defend if the threat is noticed in time.Factions & Guilds
Seaview has many crafting and fishing guilds that make up its Merchant and People's Districts, the three major factions each control different districts.The Gulls
Seaview's thieves' guild operates in the Merchant District where criminals may run rampant if protected by them. They typically avoid areas like the merchant's docks and warehouses since the Navy presence is strong there, otherwise, the Gulls own the beach of the merchant city.The Requian Navy
The Requian Navy operates both a small section of the Merchant's District where the navy docks are and the People's District where the majority of their headquarters are and where during a time of peace most soldiers go to guard Seaview.The Golden Society
The Empire’s district is ruled by the rich business owners of the coast, most of which are apart of the anonymous faction the Golden Society. This is the single most powerful faction in the kingdom, in control of the Gulls and can easily change out politicians for ones of their choice.
