Shenfell - City
The capital of Shenfell, truly a city where anything is possible
A slight breeze brushes through the hairs of a fisherman docking into the lower parts of the city. The magnificent walls growing larger as he draws nearer to the city. In the middle a single obsidian black keep watching over the city, constructed from the precious rocks from Stonefall. The docks, bustling with food markets and individuals of all statures buying fish, weath, and other nourishments. Shenfell, the last true city of the Royal family.
Demographics
The capital of Shenfell is filled with humans, elves, and dwarves. Other exotic races can be found here, but in lesser extent than for example Peppin' Bay.
Government
While most of Shenfell is under the control of The Illaedion Empire, the city of Shenfell is still under control of the royal family. Talfryn of Shenfell, ex-king, now Archduke, owns the city and his family is secured rulership of the metropolis. Most inhabitants of the city noticed a positive change throughout the city and are very acceptant of the empire and its administratives and imperial watch. Crime rates have dropped, and corruption has been reduced.
Defences
The three walls of the city have been constructed from stone mined from Stonefall, and while not as decent as its obsidian brother, the stones have withstand many sieges during the Demon Wars.
Infrastructure
The city is built in multiple layers, where the bottom layer is reserved for farming and fishermen that operate from the docks of the lake. The second layer is home to merchants, arts and crafts and guilds, while on the third, the keep is constructed to watch over the entire city.
Guilds and Factions
Most of the guilds that can be found in other cities have a headquarters here, but Shenfell - City is famous for a one of the more exclusive guilds, the mages guild. As a competitor of the scholars of the institute, the mages guild has produced some of the finest wizards and witches throughout the history of the region. Although magic is still quite strange and rare in these parts, the mages guild is tasked with the protection against dark magics, and the studying of demons. Some inhabitants of the city believe that because of the presence of high magic in the city, there are cults hidden in the depths of this urban jungle, plotting against the city and its inhabitants. Although there are no official arrest made to support this popular belief, there have been mysterious disappearances, lights, and eerie sounds coming from some of the more secluded areas of the city.
History
Shenfell is one of the oldest cities in the entire region and was one of the main cities during the reign of the Durrichon Kingdom, after the rupture, one of the noble families, Talfryn of Shenfell's ancestors, took the task upon him to drive away the demons on the island, back towards the The Yester Rift where the bulwark was being built at the time. Ever since, the region was indebted to the valor of the nobleman and the family of Shenfell were elected as Kings of the island.
