City Details

-The 7 thrones
After the last king was mysteriously murdered, a counsil of several people took his place. These 7 men and women specialize in the 7 most imporant parts of socieity: Military, money and food, infrastructure, culture and history, education, spiritualism and science. Every leader has a group of people working beneath them, and together they form the ruling "party" of Branchville. Anyone can become a leader, as long as they possess the skill. There are also a lot of laws about votes when it comes to big changes, so democracy is still a thing.

-The High Guard
Branchville’s guards and soldiers , led by Silas Floodwood. The Highguard are tasked with protecting Branchville from threats such as raiders, monsters and barbarians. They also go on missions to fight outside or Branchville. The standard weapons used by the highguard are normal swords and shields, and some magic users have joined the guard to assist both in and out of combat. They wear armor with blue details and the sigil of the branch river on their shields and wear long white capes/robes.

-The Tipsy water lily
A somewhat unstable tavern located on a small patch of land in the middle of the branch river. The patch of land it’s located on used to be pretty large, but the river has eaten away on it, and now the patch of land is almost smaller than the tavern itself, which is also supported by beams sticking up from the water. The tavern serves food and spirits and even though the food is strictly vegetarian, just like the owner and barkeeper Isaac himself, a lot of people eat here.

-Architecture
Most houses are built out of white and blue clay, the white for the walls, and blue for roofs, with beams of bright woods supporting them. Most houses are built like old English Tudor houses, and a strong brick wall surrounds the city. The west wall is higher than the others and manned with catapults to fend off Seekers.

-Hunger problem
Even though Branchville is one of cities with the most farmland, and a large amount of the population go hungry, due to its large size. This leads to a lot of poverty and crime.

-The School of the Dancing Blade
In the richers parts of Branchville, there is a school where a unique type of fencing is taught. It's a mix between dancing and fighting and trains people to be smooth and precise in battle.

-The Great Wheel
