Mirage

Mirage, closer to a large town than a city, is fairly spread out around a harbor core. The large town is within the Roaring plains and is quite an important location among those plains thanks to its harbor.

Geography

Mirage is a port city, located on the shores of Loch Hermes. Few ships use this part of the sea to trade, and most of the exchanges are made directly with City upper north in Tana's Empire, tho a few times per year, rare ships do the large round trip and come from the south. The city is built on a large plain and is quite flat.

Description

Mirage is the cultural heart of the duchy of Buchais, it is the nexus of politics, justice, industry and education within the duchy. The city proper is surrounded by large, 30 foot-high, protection walls that stretches around the city from the eastern fields to the western shore and slowly disappear as they sink into the ocean.
Dense fields of farmland surround the city, which spills beyond the walls around the gates to the east, north and south.
Within the walls, the districts are further divided by smaller walls. Winding their way across the city are a series of canals called the Helicos' Waterways that allow for faster travel and transportation of goods throughout the city.

Pelor's Promenade

Pelor's Promenade is the large, open-air market district that dominates the eastern side of Mirage. The district is named for Pelor, as one of his cleric is said to have said the city from the monsters in eons past. With carts, stands, and shops stretching along winding interconnected roads, nearly anything can be bought and sold here.
