Defences
The city is surrounded by low-value property and stone walls. Its army is made up of trained warriors who serve in the city's defense, a large presence of shield-bearers from the capital to serve as peacekeepers, and a civilian militia can be mustered in case of attack. There is a well-fortified bastion known as Clements Redoubt that serves to protect the inner city.
Industry & Trade
The Leeside industry is diverse and ranges from mining to fishing, though there is a prosperous industry in the medical field with Ayesingrad Hospice. The city itself is self-sufficient requiring little trade to survive, most trade comes in tandem with any religious movements in and out of the city.
History
Leeside was founded on the site of a major battle during the Aeon of Creation, this battle was between the much more barbarous at the time, Ravvundaalians, and the combined forces of both Silverkeep and various pre founding villages of the Middle Realms. Known as The Battle of Leeds-Saxus, this battle ended in the bloody favor of the Saxus forces. The Ula'ree swamp soon became a fortification of the Saxus forces and the Clement Redoubt was built. This served as a resupply station for the militia that was in conflict with the barbarians.
Years passed as the City grew and became known as Leeside, after the Saxus forces parted ways and split off, Leeside became its own independent state. The state grew in power and control dominating the Fertile Basin (The area of land between the Greenmire Barrens and Leeside). their control over this area allowed this state to hold most of the farming plots of the Middle Realms, and allowed it to advance as a society, their focus on the medical industry comes from a culture derivative of healthy bodies and mindfulness. Leeside is very well known for its hospitality and advancement of religion for most of the regions Humans.
