Myrshock

Myrshock is a port city-state roughly 600 miles south of New Crobuzon, on the coast of the Meagre Sea. The city is a dull, ugly place described as being located in "a depression of wheat-brown grass".

Overview

Myshock is a port city, featuring a mixed population and an equally mixed array of architecture.

Architecture

Myrshock's architecture is a mish-mash of ancient structures and materials that have been combined largely without regard for aesthetic. In the areas where there was a conscious effort to design the buildings, the aesthetic is still an indecisive mix of styles, with "churches with cement facades mimicking antique curlicues, banks using slate in uncommon colors, achieving only vulgarity".

Demographics

Myrshock has a mixed population, composed of roughly equal numbers of humans, dragonborn, migrant aarakocra, and elves who inhabit a canal ghetto.

Economy

Myrshock's economy is based around its location and status as an industrial, saltwater port. Many of the ships that frequent its harbors are crewed by pirates and privateers.
