Patino

Patino is a large, independent city-state on the subcontinent of Cartu, lying northwest of the Byorn Mountains. Its main business is trade, and despite its remote location has become a popular destination for trade routes in northern Imminar. Ships from Patino end up in ports in all the other human nations, and also reach such far-flung places as Alusinia, Durion, the Shattered Isles, Corsuva and Nia, and Atlassana. As a result, Patino has also become home to the most skilled artisans of all kinds of crafts, supported by the patronage of its merchants. Dwarven mastersmiths, gnomish inventors and engineers, elven mages, and artists, poets, and musicians of every race produce masterworks whose quality is unattainable anywhere else.
Patino is headed by the Duke of Patino, Giles Florin. Within its walls, the city is divided into six sesters, each headed by its own procurator. The sesters include the Docks, Merchant's sester, Craftsman's sester, Temple sester, Arts sester, and Arcane sester.
The city's population (within its walls) is a little more than 80,000, with approximately 30,000 more living outside the walls and in the surrounding areas.
