Syrilis
Syrilis is the beautiful capital of Wildermoore. Located on both sides of the river Lance connected by three grand bridges inhabited by most merchants of the city. The city is also known as the Green City for its lush vegetation.
Houses are small in Syrilis, partly because there isn’t much safe space for people and partly because gardening is the most fashionable thing to do in Wildermoore, especially in Syrilis. Houses are decorated by climbing vines and beautiful yards filled with colorful flowers, berry bushes, and fruit trees. The more exotic and difficult to grow the plants are, the more pride the owners take in their gardens.
Syrilis is built partly on top of a destructed, large estate of a long-fallen aristocratic family. Ruins are still visible here and there, and some of the buildings have been partly rebuilt to give character to the city.
Open fire is mostly forbidden in Syrilis because of the high risk of large fires that could easily destroy big chunks of the city in no time. The city is also strictly guarded in magical means and by the royal guards and the local guards hired by the city council and the wealthier merchants.
The city is divided into three parts known as the Upperside, the Bridge, and the Side. Apart from them, there are a few parts of the city further away from the city center. The city dockings are further down the river from the Side and the Holy Ruins are almost at the border of the city.
