Rybury

Rybury is a town in the expansive countryside in the southeast of Mystryl's territory. As towns go, it is considered a large settlement, with standing structures able to support upwards of 6,000 residents. It has stood for at least a century.
Due to the nature of the soil in the region, food crops can't readily grow around Rybury like they do in the flood plains. However, the ratio of nutrients produces plants such as cotton and flax of exceptional quality. As the popularity of custom tailoring grew in Mystryl, the creation of a town in this region was decreed as necessary for textile production. Once settled, Ryburians found that the grasslands were also perfect for grazing. Through careful selective breeding, wool from their sheep is renowned throughout Winderia. Rybury became a giant in textile production.
The textile industry has created significant wealth in the town. Everyone at least lives comfortably, and a significant portion of them live in luxury. The buildings are in good condition and almost entirely occupied, both by the residents and the ample visitors found there every day. A wide distribution of ethnicities live in Rybury, as the potential for wealth attracts all kinds of folks looking to get into the textile game. Vendors are drawn to the spacious market square, and the town encourages the excess to set up outside the city wall. The citizens are friendly to visitors.
The locals elect a city mayor to lead. The mayor is most often retired from or in the late stage of their career in textile production. In addition to the the administration of the town, the mayor appoints the city watch captain. The captain then hires a lieutenant and the full ranks of the guards. They patrol the sturdy wooden wall surrounding the town and make semi-frequent walks through the streets. The town quiets down at night, and crime is about average, mostly involving theft but also including a few cases of mild violence.
