Sunbury (Sun-burry)

Sunbury sits between multiple natural features, at the base of Peggy Knob. It is a natural stopping point for those travelling across country or down the centre of the western coast through the various foothill ranges.  It is the last major town to the east of the Enth Province, and is the main location for the Provincial Council.

Industry & Trade

Almost all of the town either works for the Provincial Council or in the surrounding areas as a miner, hunter or farmer.  There is a busy service industry to accommodate the busy workers, but it is far from a tourist town.

Guilds and Factions

Provincial Council- runs the town itself as well as being the administrative body that oversees taxation and security in the rest of the Province.  The Miner's Guild has a strong presence in town but rarely gets involved in town politics overtly.

History

Sunbury actually pre-dates Enthmere, and has been the administrative hub of this region for a long time.  It has a pleasant climate and is often a prized assignment for the professional civil servants in Daly.

Tourism

Little to none- the odd visitor is usually here to set up a new trade agreement or request a land grant, and rarely here for the scenery or nightlife- although both are great!

Architecture

Well-dressed limestone buildings, typically 2-3 stories tall, line fairly narrow streets.  Each building has numerous balconies in lieu of gardens, but public parks and plazas are dotted throughout the town with some regularity.

Geography

Located at the base of one of the largest of the Wuscayuse Hills, Peggy Knob, Sunbury rises gently from the flats.  It is moderately warm a lot of the time, but evenings are cold as the winds come twisting through the gullies and valleys on their way to the shore.  There is plenty of beautiful nature nearby, from the hills to the north and south to the rolling plains of the Kanab Flats to the west.

Natural Resources

Limestone quarries abound in the Wuscayuse Hills, and there are plentiful mines under the Black Hills to the south containing coal, tin, iron and occasionally gems.  Game is plentiful on the flats, too, and the land is fairly fertile, although prone to drought most years.
