Mount Cashell

The Capital and largest city in the country of Auldsod. It was built by the elves 2 thousand years ago. It is a bustling metropolis which thrives in art, culture, and learning. It has an extensive amount of shops as well as guild halls and taverns.

Demographics

Mainly Human and Elven with inhabitants and tourists from every race, gender, and walk of life.

Government

As a Feudal country, Auldsod is made up of many different territories ruled by many different people. Mount Cashell however, is the most well organized of the cities sporting an elected city council handling affairs of the city with Lord Mayor Seamus Horne overseeing everything runs smoothly.
The City Council is made up of 7 members They are:

• Flindelia - Minister of Finance - an elf woman of considerable wisdom
• Crawford - Minister of Education- a Stuffy old human with a passion for history
• Percival - Minister of Defense - A regal sort of chap who was an ex soldier during the war for independence.

• Fenton Ostrum - Ministry Secretary - oversees council meetings and handles paperwork and official documents for the council - Son of the former king Ostrum III. renounced his title after the war for Independence and serves on the government.

Defences

Industry & Trade

One of the main industries to come out of Mount Cashell is the Arts and Entertainment.

Or train the arts of entertainment with the greatest storytellers, singers, musicians, orators, and magicians in the world. They also have a rich export of textiles and parchment.
