Danidon
"Well... Of course everyone knows Waterdeep isn't very safe, the crime syndicates have a huge amount of power there but... if I'm being honest, I'd rather be in Waterdeep than Danidon. At least in Waterdeep there's a guard and police force, and Lord Silverhand attempts at ruling justly."
Captain Origwen Gelrunther The Singing Wyrm
Government
Ruled by High Lord Hatham
Defences
In large inner wall dividing the nobles from the rest of the city is well maintained and guarded, the rest of the cities defenses are not well maintained.
Industry & Trade
Danidon makes it's trade in the mass production of objects of war. Armor in mass quantities can be produced in the many massive forges and refineries in Danidon, which sell in large amounts to anyone with coin who needs armor. These forges itemize the armor making process, dividing each task to be separate, that way a person in the forge does the same thing day in and day out, and neither learns armor making, nor needs to have skill to be hired. In this way, a massive number of people build armor together step by step, like an assembly line. Many of the city works as "cogs", the term called the workers of these forges.
Infrastructure
Infrastructure is only maintained in the area's High Lord Hatham and his nobles go. Thus only the wealthy quarter is well maintained and patrolled by a policing force. The rest of the city is left to themselves, to fend and to maintain. Good men and women have attempted putting together policing forces, however lack of funds, training, and equipment limits them greatly. Mercenaries and private police love opening up shop in Danidon, as merchants in the Dahn will pay out the nose for goods protection.
History
Danidon was founded in 70 EOS according to most scholars. Originally a small settlement of mostly dwarves, the city slowly grew into a major city for production, being surrounded by mountains and forests. And while the mountains are still being mined to this day, the forests were long ago logged, and the forests around Danidon seen today were planted and maintained for only the past 100 years, farmed snow so the supply doesn't deplete immediately.
