Taraval Settlement in Talthei | World Anvil

Taraval

Looking around, Chell pointed north, towards glittering spires and a shimmering river. "What IS that place?"   "Taraval, the town of pleasures. We'll have to stop there on our way back."   "Why the way back? We need to resupply, right?"   "Because I'd rather not have to drag you from one of the brothels or bet houses, Chell."   "I can control myself!" His brother laughed, having to tuck his map under his arm and clutch his stomach for a moment until he could regain control.   Even then, Chell couldn't miss the airy amusement of his answer. "Control doesn't mean a thing in Taraval."
Taraval is a city set within the Excyra_Mountains. It exists as a land of debauchery and excess in the midst of an inhospitable range, and while generally accessed by Conductors , those willing to hoof it to save some money will be forced through a grueling trek to reach their honeyed lands.

Demographics

There is no particular species that makes up Taraval -- it is a city where such inquiries are limited towards which type of sex worker they'd like to service them.   The majority of full-time inhabitants work in the service industry, providing housing, food, and entertainment to their visitors -- at a price, of course.

Government

Taraval is lead by a city hall, elected once every eight years. The city hall of Taraval, however, doesn't do much beyond setting up the taxation rates for visiting services and organizing the positions made to keep Taraval running, such as mages to keep the river clean or sanitation workers to keep the roads and public areas tidy. It is generally understood that "lifers", or full-time residents of Taraval, will be taxed very lowly for their needs, and that the major funding for Taraval's upkeep comes from the wealthy or wild visitors to their city.
