Nova Aera
You find yourselves in the legendary city of Nova Aera. The enormous city-state has remained neutral towards all neighboring kingdoms. However, no kingdom has laid claim to the wilderness surrounding the city. The city's size has made so that the landscapes around the city is widely varied.
The city is known as a utopia because of its liberal policies for immigration and the integration of foreign races. Therefore the city has adapted to fit dissidents of all shapes and sizes. The streets are divided into regular streets and raised platform like streets, meant for the smaller races where they can walk in peace and without fear of getting trampled by a Centaur or Orc. The air is constantly filled with flying creatures and more dexterous races, like vanarans and tengus, jumping and swinging from roof to roof over the street. There are also canals along all the streets meant for those who cannot walk on land, which all lead the Deeptown. Deeptown is an entire part of the city that is situated under the water of the city harbor. There are also stairwells that descend into Undertown, an entire part of the city that lies underground and is the home of those who shy from the light of day.
In this giant city trouble and illegal activity is unavoidable. Therefore adventurers are always needed to keep order and defeat monsters who threaten the utopian society the big city offers.

Government
The City is ruled as a plutocracy, where the one hundred most powerful merchants and traders form a governing council. The council is controlled by a democratically elected mayor who is tasked with regulating the council to make sure that the decisions made are for the benefit of the people, not the council.
Defences
The entire city is surrounded by a huge, 60 feet tall wall. There is also a city guard that serves under the council and is currently lead by Drakishk Sharpspear. The city guard is easily recognizable by their uniform. A bright golden armor which has been forged to look like the scales of a golden dragon. They all wield long silver spears. The city guard is mostly tasked with keeping the general order in the city and in the event of an attack, the city turns to its most powerful asset. The countless adventuring guilds that make their home in Nova Aera.
Guilds and Factions
Nova Aera has some of the most powerful trading guilds in the world. The huge city is known as the trading center of the entire world where all the greatest merchants come to sell their goods.
The city also has some of the largest adventurers guilds in the entire world.
History
In 1548 a caravan of merchants had just made their way across a horrible swampland, filled to the brim with dangerous kobold tribes. During this time the caravan lost half of their members. They were tired and scared. That's when they came to an enormous open field. A green plain as far as the eye could see. They walked east towards the coast where they would meet up signal for a ship with the magic scroll their supplier had brought them. When they finally reached the shore they found an idyllic campsite. Plenty of scattered trees, optimal fishing spots and a perfect place for traveling ships to stop and resupply as they made their way to and from Borrovy. The caravan set up camp and called for a ship. When the ship arrived they made an order for more supplies. They had made the decision to stay. The settlement was named Freshport.
The former caravan turned village began the construction of their small trading post. They made a small dock. They dug a well. They even built a small temple to Erastil. Soon more and more people who came to trade with them decided to stay and the question was brought up on who they should allow staying. That was when Nova Aeras constitution was written and it was decided that no one should ever be excluded on the basis of their race, as long as their intentions are good and pure. And thus was the settlement renamed Nova Aera.
The settlement quickly turned into a city, which then turned into a state, which then turned into a metropolis that covered the entire area. From the coast in the east to the jungles in the west. From the swamplands in the north to the deserts in the south. The city is so huge that one could spend their entire life trying to see all that it has to offer.
Architecture
The city is divided into different areas that all have their own architecture that reflect its residents. Some example of these is Deeptown, which is situated underwater and heavily reflect the architecture of merfolk and gillmen.
Geography
The city's size has made so that the landscapes around the city is widely varied. The east side of the city lies next to the ocean and has created the biggest and most busy harbor in the world. To the north you find swamplands and to the south, there is a desert. On the western side of the city, you’ll find a jungle that spreads as far as the eye can see.
