Sacqueline
"Sacqueline is a greedy hive, overconfident behind their walls, their pockets brimming with silver outvolumed only by the silver of their forked tongues."
~Erazabethene Whitefeather, Plutarch of Alcedene

Defences
A 6 ft. wall surrounds the town, which remains at the same height as the plains gently slope downward towards the Grasping River. Port Hugo and Sacqueline are joined by the Long Wall that protects the road between them, and reaches over 20 ft. high where it surrounds the riverbanks. The walls sport towers every 80 feet complete with murderholes and cauldrons to make any assault a daunting prospect.
Industry & Trade
Sacqueline is a mining town. A silver mine extends beneath the town, a mint processes coins and the smiths are all silversmiths in addition to more utilitarian crafts.
Guilds and Factions
The Stonecutters Society and the Armorer's Union both maintain a presence, with the Cutlery Guild delivering supplies and occasionally poaching the jewelers in town.
The people of Sacqueline feel that the presence and factionalism of the guilds in their town connects them with the outside world in a way that isn't present for places like Port Hugo and Alcedene, whom they look down upon.

History
Sacqueline started out as a silver mine first dug out in the Year 81, and almost immediately sported a brothel which expanded into a tavern. The town of the time was owned by the dragon Ekatriax, and it was the scalykind who patrolled the streets and managed the laws.
When Ekatriax was killed by the First Coalition, Sacqueline revolted and drove away the scaled occupiers. Under their own rule, they were an early backer (financial and political) of the formation of Cambreath and later the creation of the The Maecodian Confederation.
Somewhere around the Year 500, the guilds moved in and took power in the town. Since then, the town has been repurposed to serve the interests of the guild itself. In the Years 580 to 610, after a plague of banditry on the road between Sacqueline and Port Hugo, the guilds paid for and built a 25 mile wall.
Architecture
As a seat of power for the Stonecutters Society, the buildings are grandiose edifices carved from marble and granite boulders painstakingly transported from the Barrier Mountains and from the Northrealm and Wupan.
Geography
As a settlement on the Great Grass Ocean, the ground is largely flat and anything not paved is covered in grass and wheat.
Natural Resources
A georima several miles below the surface produces a rich vein of silver studded with jewels.
