Synfral City

This article pertains to the capital. For the kingdom of the same name, see the Kingdom of Synfral.   Synfral City, commonly referred to as Synfral, is the capital of the Kingdom of Synfral, ruled by the Regent Definnei Vogliam IV. It is the most densely populated city in all of Adronica, as well as the most highly advanced due to being the birthplace of mist-powered engines. It is constructed at high altitudes, and is a dense sprawl of cliffside buildings, whirring engines, and buzzing air cabs. It is predominantly inhabited by gnomes and humans.  

Geography

Synfral is built around Smoking Orfeo, a jagged and incredibly steep mountain in the Griseldé Range. The city's districts have been built onto constructed flats along the face of mountain. While navigable by foot via a maze of staircases, the districts are most commonly linked by air cabs.  

Districts

The Summit

The Summit is the Synfralan castle, wherein Regent Definnei resides. It has been undergoing renovation for the last twenty-three years.  

The Crests

The Crests refer to the jagged ridges of Smoking Orfeo upon which the city's oldest mansions were constructed. Initially teetering on stilts, the district has expanded downwards and outwards into modern manors.
  • Snowdrop Bathhouse, a high-end brothel.
  • The Kite, a social salon and restaurant adrift on a skyrail, frequented by the wealthy. Contains lodging.
 

The Mist Garrison

The Mist Garrison is the main fortification of both the Crests and the greater city.  

The Pendent District

The Pendent District is the business district of Synfral, suspended from the side of the mountain. It is suspended from a complex system of massive chains and timbers, to allow for a relatively flat main street. Surrounding structures are built at an incline, however.
