Turraltus

Written by Lord Pendragon

The great Capital of the South, a city built above the ocean. Turraltus, also known as "The Sky City", because, when you look down, you see a great blue shining with the sun, and, when you look up, you see a great blue too, as if there is two skys. This city survived through the time with the help of the "Falcons of Glory", a great military order that allowed this population to still alive. They are Knights with great sword skills. Turraltus and Monshara are rivals in our continent. Both of them claim the right to rule Alveus, be the capital of this world. And, as the citys, their orders are also rivals. The Gauntlet Conclave use their Divine Ancestral, as the heirs of Lusster, to impose more relevance. But, the Falcons of Glory use their domain against them. Once upon a time, there was a Dwarf Kingdom under the protection of Monshara, but they fell into ruin. Although, the protected by Turraltus still growing and getting stronger.

Demographics

There is many people living in Turraltus. Also, they are divided among the sixteen towers in this city. The merchants live in one tower and work in another. The poor people live in one tower and are prohibited to go in others, etc.

Government

This city lives in a Monarchy, but, instead of Monshara, there is just the Royal Family and no other nobility. After the Royal Family, the Falcons of Glory is the authorities.

Defences

Turraltus has a great naval force and it is a city above the ocean. No army can threat Turraltus, they would be crushed on the coast. This city has some wizards and priests to defense or repair the structure from a few damage that an enimie can do against Turraltus. And, after that, the cannons of their ships would destroy anyone on the coast.

Industry & Trade

Turraltus sells a lot of ships to Agrumfus and Edge, a minor city on Vipers Bay. Agrumfus, even if it is a great city, they have a policy to don't hurt the forest, so they can't build many ships. This is a great source of money to Turraltus.

Infrastructure

This town is formed by 16 towers. Each of them has your respective function and citizens. Is like the population were divided in 16 roles. Every tower has five floors. The further down for things less importants, and further up for things more importants. One of them are for the prisioners, so, that tower is the prision of Turraltus. Another is the tower of agriculture. Other is the tower of the royal family and the higher-ranking members of Falcons of Glory. Etc.

Guilds and Factions

The Falcons of Glory is a great order of knights and warriors that rules the armys of Turraltus. They are trained with a very rigid routine. One of the most dungerous tasks that the recruits must do to become a soldier is to swim from the coast to the last tower of Turraltus. Many have died, but they still practicing this test.

History

The Sky City started to raise in the Final of the Third Age. The Falcons of Glory was an order of simple humans that fought in the Divine War. After this, they wanted to build a home to the rest of them and to their heirs. So, they came to the Wind Coast. But they did not have builders or people to form a city, so they started to be hunt by creatures in the wild. Callina, the God of the Night, decided to reward them. She used her divine magic to create the sixteen towers of Turraltus. The Falcons of Glory filled the city and began the South Capital. A little further north, at the Fairy Woods, where lived many magical creatures, the proximity of the city and the forest started some issues. Turraltus, jealous of the beuaty and magic of the fairies, tried to steal them and use their forest. This started a war between the humans and the forest beings. But the story fails to answer how Turraltus won that war, we only know that they did, and the Fairy Woods is no more a home to fairies.

Geography

The great sea and the Wind Coast are around Turraltus, but, beyond the beach, there is a good land to farm and grow crops. Also, a little further north we can find the Fairy Woods, an ancient forest that once was the home of fairies and ents.
