Città d'Argento
"The city bustles. It's like a middle aged woman shopping - always moving, but carefully and with a cheerful smile to friends and a cutting remark to those who deserve one. I like it, it's much more straightforward than most of Vodacce, but it's poor, and the next war will probably destroy it. Sad really." - Marco Vestini
Demographics
70% Vodaccan, 10% Sarmatian, 5% Eisen, 5% Numan and the rest mixed.
Government
The town has a civic ruler in the form of an elected Mayor (the election process is very informal), but the overriding authority comes from whoever occupies Schloss Argenti on behalf the Vestini family. The Schloss has been empty for 13 years though.
Defences
Most of the defense historically comes from the Schloss but currently there is a town guard who's main function would be getting children and all else away from the violence.
Industry & Trade
Mostly mutton and wheat, some fish and vegetables. The town is blessed with a skilled cheese maker.
Infrastructure
A good road leading through town - reasonably good roads within town. Two large wells, stables and warehouses.
Guilds and Factions
The farmers and the sheep herders are usually a little bit at loggerheads, but it rarely amounts to violence.
History
The capital of Aquila d'Argento is conveniently named the Città d'Argento (City of Silver in Avalon,
Stadt des Silbers in German). At this point it's barely even aspirational - after the humiliation of Joppa and the independence of Five Sails, Città d'Argento is just a stop on the way to 5 Points or to Vestini. It is a welcoming place at any rate, as it does have a fair amount of traffic, and is able to support two inns. The local government is technically under the hand of Vestini, but they have paid little attention to it since the war of the cross died down.
Architecture
The Chapel is a wood structure and ornately carved. Lady Rebecca Opilio has a well crafted home that she receives visitors currently.
Geography
To the north of the road is the shepherds and the cheese makers, to the south are the farmers, millers and bakers.
