Whistletop
Whistletop is one of the five great cities of the Cauldmoon Basin, and is located near the base of the Whistletop Ranges. It sits on a wide plateau which overlooks a large forest, through which runs the Deepflow river. Once a fort set to defend the mountain pass, the last two hundred years have seen a large city spring up around it. There are now around nineteen thousand people living in the city and the population is still growing.
Defences
The cliffs that surround the outer edges of the plateau are over 100m tall, and it has the mountains of the Whistletop ranges behind it. The only easily accessible route to the city lies to the north where the plateau levels off and the landscape turns into hills and valleys.
The city Itself is surrounded by a tall stone wall and battlements, and has an internal walled fort. The city also maintains several watchtowers along the plateau edge, and also at the passable points of the mountains.
