City Raynor

Hythia's own defense sector

An Empire's security, the Gryffen's piercing talons that clutches forlorn and motherland challengers. He that stands between the realm of the just and spheres of darkness and chaos. The last citystate in all of Hythia that would ever fall to any conqueror or his men, it's people boast. Yet, still, City Raynor's children grow restless and are beginning to ponder the notions of prosperity and freedom once more, for some fear what lays in the past may ascend to tear away the veil of liberty.

Demographics

Kroftin and Gaelmorian (the largest ethnic group of men that inhabit Hythia), with a small number of eastern and southern Elmori travelers and tradesmen of various races and ethnicities)

Government

Lordship, formerly Kingship

Defences

Everything that the Hythian Consortium is in command of, so is City Raynor.

Industry & Trade

Many in Raynor are employed by the smithing and military mechanisms developers that supply the Hythian Consortium.

Infrastructure

City Raynor's layout is a stone keep surrounded by a courtyard with a gateway facing south. The keep and courtyard are surrounded by three massive walls, the inner most being the highest. The next two walls follow the hill that the courtyard is on downwards, allowing City Raynor's defenders to easily protect the castle through consequential wall height, should any invader make it to the city states hold. Raynor's Hold is the combination of the keep and it's surrounding city area. This culmination of the two is the general layout for large Hythian cities, the idea being that the city state holds the majority of it's population in one central location. There is also a single wall following the outer edges of the city/hold.

Assets

Largely the supplier of military armaments and weaponry for the Hythian Empire (officially known as the Hythian Consortium)

Guilds and Factions

Large military mechanisms and weaponry development presence. This specific industry brings great wealth to Raynor's people, and prosperity is abundant.

History

Before the age of the Consortium, where most of the Hythian city states were forced to renounce kingship and pledge their allegiance to allied peace and prosperity, Raynor was ruled by a fairly competent lineage of royalty, though this is not to say they did not partake in their own war campaigns and neighborly sieges. For in the previous age, Hythian conquest was often an internal affair.

Architecture

A castle surrounded by large city area, with walls separating the two, and a single wall separating the city area from the city state's 'reach" (the land or surrounding kingdom that is ruled by the seat in the city/hold)

Geography

South of a diagonal running mountain chain

Natural Resources

The mountains to the north and west of Raynor's city/hold are rich with metal deposits. To the south and east are farmlands, but the majority of it's farms are to the east.
