Capstone

Capital city of North Meles

This article is a stub and may be expanded at a later date!

Situated in the Talan District of Melesh, the city of Capstone is nestled in the gentle curve of the River Laurel. It is the capital of North Meles and is a central trading hub for the region.
The city is bustling with international trade following the discovery of Jelly and its mysterious properties, and everyone wants to get their hands on this new technology. Imports of Menhirwood from Ves Palu have improved the region's shipbuilding, and exports of Melesian Pinewood bring in a steady flow of coin.

Defences

Heavily fortified city walls around the heart of the city.

Industry & Trade

Specialised craftsmen and inventors are working with new Jelly technology. Jontal Shipping Company manufactures and exports Jelly.

Guilds and Factions

The Locks and Quays guild stealthily operates from the crumbling ruins of Talan Castle
The Mudlarks are a jolly bunch of treasure hunters who wade along the River Laurel in search of trinkets.
The Underlarks are a dark and devious group who operate from the depths of Capstone's sewers.

History

The Fires of Capstone in the beginning of the First Age destroyed a great deal of the city, causing Talan Castle to fall into disrepair and many central buildings to be rebuilt from the ground up. This opportunity lead to the construction of the Capstone Sewers, a huge network of tunnels beneath the city designed to handle the rainwater and waste of the city.
