Tint
As you walk into town from the east the first thing that catches you is the smell, Cooked fish in stands of vibrant color serving to the large gathering of people near the docks. The frequent chatter of these people and the rhythmic sloshing of the ocean waves makes a unique tune for the ear. That peaceful drone is pierced by seagulls over head and on the ground picking up any scraps from the stone road. The main cobble stone road splits into multiple simple roads, one leading to the docks in the north, and another to the western side of town on the more direct path. Various other roads lead into gardens, alleyways, and to buildings like homes, shops, taverns, and many other kinds of buildings. the north side of town is where the older, more weathered buildings appear to be. The southern side of town is where all the newer looking buildings are, like the forte, or the Temple of Merish. The Guards known as the Mana Guard are easily spotted in the crowds talking to people casually, patrolling the streets, and helping people out with various tasks. The Mana Guard are easily distinguished due to their uniform of iron or steel armor with chain mail underneath the plates. These plates of the armor are lavender colored, and are often chipped in places. The armor also has gold trimming to it, and a cloth hanging from the waist on the right side. This cloth has a symbol of Merish the Traveler on it, which looks like a Trident with wind lines behind it. On your way out of town on the western side, you see miles of farm land stretching out over the rolling hills. The dunes of the beach wave rhythmically with the breeze coming from the ocean.
Demographics
Tint is mostly a Human (43%), half-ling (24%), and Dragon-Born (23%) populated Town, however due to its proximity to Manora, and the influx of people moving to the coast, the population has started bringing in more types of people. Such as Half Elves, Half Orcs, Dwarfs, Gnomes, and Teiflings. These other groups account for about 10% of the total population.
Government
The Mana Guard is a group founded in Manora by the city government to have their guards and military under one banner. this was very effective at organizing the defense of the city and the dealing of crime. When tint was settled the government in Manora had a few options, setting up an independent guard group for Tint, sending mana guard to the town to govern it from the capitol, or both. The end result was both, where the locals had main control over local votes, and the actual main laws of Manora where enforced. Resulting in The Mana Guard being sent to all of their settlements due to its success in the capitol and in their first settlement. This also let tax collection for once be more organized and regular, Tax day is the 20th of every month. All towns under The Mana Guard have a Forte, this is where the Law seeker judges people in court, wrights local laws, and puts trouble makes in prison.
Defences

Infrastructure
Their is an old sewer and a new sewer, the town of tint used to be a small town, but when the Manoran government came in to help organize the town started growing more rapidly. the original sewer was hastily made to keep up with demand, and was terribly designed. This resulted in blocking, and infestations, within 10 years the sewer was rendered to dangerous to go into, and caused many problems down the line. however recently the new sewer was finished and extremely efficient with some help from the court mage in Manora. However remnants of the old sewer are still underground and pose a very real threat if disturbed.
Several windmills are scattered around the outside of town for grain processing. two are over by the eastern gate, and 3 are in various farms in the southwest.
Their are two different docks, the fishers docks, and the merchants docks. the fishers docks is where the smaller boats tie up, this is where most fishing boats dock and deliver their daily hauls, and it is the northwestern part of town. The merchants docks is for trade, large ship docking, transportation along the coast, and Mana Guard naval docking, it is the western part of town.
History
In the early days, Tint was just a small name village for fisherman and farming north of Manora. They where a settlement for Manora to deal with the rampant over population of the city. The goal was to get the poor out of the city, and working rather than begging, and it. Years and years later the village of Tint grew to be an actual town, bringing in many more jobs and people from all over the coast. however recently their expanding borders has begun to encroach on the territory of the hill giants, and ogres in the and jungles to the southeast. This has prompted attacks on the farms and roads outside of town.
