Port City Shavadeh
Shavadeh is a large port city in Alshar. It lies along the coast of The Sea Of Storms, just north of Aramoor. It has been described as "a sprawling mass of houses, shops, warehouses, and taverns", and it serves as the main trading hub between Alshar and the rest of the world. Many ships from all over the world dock here to sell goods or take on new cargo. This is especially true of ships coming from the east, since the sea around Alshar is known for its treacherous currents.
The population of Shavadeh is primarily made up of merchants and sailors who work in the port. Other residents include farmers who live nearby, and some craftsmen who make items to be sold in the port. The city itself is divided into ten districts, each of which is ruled by an elected councilman. These districts are: West End, East End, North End, South End, Market District, Merchant Quarter, Church District, Palace District, and Docklands. Each district has its own mayor, who is responsible for overseeing local affairs.
There are a number of notable buildings in Shavadeh, including the palace, the church, the docks, and the market. The palace is the official residence of the king, although he rarely spends time there. Instead, he lives in Aramoor. The church is where the citizens go when they need to pray. The docks are where most of the commerce takes place. Finally, the market is where merchants come to buy and sell their wares.
In addition to these structures, there are a number of smaller buildings scattered across the city. Most of these are small shops owned by merchants. Some of the more famous ones include the Bookseller, the Leatherworker, and the Jeweler.
