Stonesinger
The City-State of Stonesinger, one of the first city-states in the continent of Craterium.
Stonesinger was built around natural harbor born out of piece of magical stone that fell from the stars. This harbor has made it easy for Stonesinger to attach itself to other cities and oceans as well.
Stonesinger has five distinct districts in it.

Stone Market: The public market place and hot-spot for tourists. Full of merchants and craftsmen, plying their trade and making their living. After the harbor, most busiest spot in town, full of pickpockets and other small-time criminals trying to fool tourists and travelers.
Gravel College: The education district of the city, filled with schools for rich people, workers and travelers alike. The district is most well-known for School Of Hundred Paths which teaches different trades for young and old alike. The district also has Stonesinger Mage Academy for practicing wizards and magical scholars.
Gemstone District North & South: The most pristine and beautiful part of the city. Split in two, these district contain the most wealthiest and well-off citizens of the city-state. They also have the most expensive shops, temples and public gathering hubs.
Rock Bottom: The slums of the city where the old and forgotten lay in wait. Also home of the criminal underbelly of Stonesinger with infamous gang activity. Rock Bottom is for you who want to enjoy more seedy side of life without guards watching over your shoulder.
