Calamity Territory
A small territory in the western half of Boncly, which consists of idyllic plains, rolling hills, a gentle river, and the ever boisterous city of Calamity, constantly ablaze and full of hubbub due to it being the home of Boncly's Gunpowder Production and Weapon Production, shaping and perfecting the powder and ores mined in the eastern half of the country.
Demographics
Calamity, like most of Boncly, is largely human, although much of the Elven and Gnomish population, no matter how miniscule, have settled in the territory as well.
Government
The various sectors of the territory, including the main city, the surrounding fields, and the rolling hills, each have representatives and legislators that look after them and report directly to Mayor Sayen Quidel and her staff.
Defences
The outward territory of Calamity is open, with a generous patrol around the "borders" just to be safe. However, the main city has an outward wall of defense, along with many of the key buildings being safeguarded by both magical and mundane means, as a way to protect from possible explosions.
Industry & Trade
Calamity is the Black Powder Territory, and it's their main trade as well. While it has the same general stores and locations any other functioning town has, the Gunpowder, Gun Smiths, and Blacksmiths are the shining star of the territory.
Infrastructure
Calamity is mostly built using aero-arcane power, or for the more skeptical folk, simple mills and candlelight. It's rather picturesque in the longrun. Alongside that, the main city has a comprehensive defense system for all the bombastic weapons being made within the city.
Assets
Calamity is home to Bonclys Gunpowder storage, as it's the hometown of their many fireworks, ballistic weapons. It's also home to many of the generic weapons that are forged in the area, such as Swords, Axes, and Knives.
Guilds and Factions
The most notable faction within Calamity, outside of typical groups, is the Gunpowder Workers Union, an organization personally crafted by Mayors of the past and upheld by Mayors of the future.
History
Calamity was formed first as a "factory" of sorts to safely produce the gunpowder that Boncly had recently discovered in a way that kept it safe, away from more explosive mining materials, and to keep potential thieves guessing. But, due to the amount of gunpowder that was being made, it soon expanded into a larger factory, and then a town for those workers, and by the time Boncly had became it's own country, it had expanded into a city all its own.
Architecture
Calamity mostly has easily re-buildable metal or wood houses, although many of the permeant residences are made out of hardy stone that has been treated with magic or special concoctions to become more dense and durable to their contemporaries.
Geography
Most of Calamity is grassy plains, with a light breeze almost constantly flowing through the area from the tall Folded Mountains to its east, but the closer you get to those mountains, the taller the Hills of Calamity become.
