Ghale
Ghale, the Gloaming Harbor
Ghale is the second largest city in the Thviscan League, and serves as the dominant port city for all trade along the northwestern coast. Situated along a low point among the rocky shores, Ghale's coastal cliffs provide a refugee from the biting northern winds. Home to several thviscan clans, as well as a growing independent working class, Ghale is rife with political turmoil and a seedy criminal underground.
Demographics
Thviscan humans are the predominant inhabitants, however small blocks of foreign visitors and traders from Svain, Turath, and Scietti can be found scattered around town.
Government
The local government in Ghale is headed by the Goethe [Gher-tah] or Mayor, and a council of clan representatives. While the city is nominally an independent settlement, and its leader is elected by the local population, the Mayor's power is check by the Clan Council which is based out of the capital.
Infrastructure
Ghale boasts a sturdy and unique infrastructure. Large communal buildings are built tightly along valley walls, and reinforce with iron and steel pipes. A simple but effective stove system allows hot water and steam to be pumped through many of the buildings keeping them warm during the long winter.
