Sombrano

Sombrano was a small city located just west of the eastern coast, about 40 miles northeast of Fulmando, Millisymph.
== History ==
Sombrano was a village that grew to become a city after the 1598 Battle of Fulmando of the Great Western War that virtually destroyed that city.
== Geography ==
Sombrano was surrounded by hills and mountains and was part of pass to the sea.
The climate was a tropical monsoon climate (in Earth terms, Köppen climate classification Am), with significantly drier winters. Winter temperatures were generally warm with little precipitation, while summers were hotter and significantly more humid. Overall, the weather was considered relatively pleasant, with winters almost ideal. Snow was virtually unknown here.
== Economy ==
Sombrero was a frequent stop for people traveling from inland to the sea and back, and for pilgrims of Leathania. It was well-known for its hats; Sombrano sombreros were known throughout Millisymph, frequently by people who had no idea what Sombrano was. It also benefited from people visiting El Templo de la estrella de Ladatinia (Star Temple of Leathane) located on a hill immediately northwest of the city.
== Society ==
The population was about 75% mainstream Human, 9% Thalosian, 7% Goblin, 3% Ghalmardi Gnome, 3% Ignonian Gnome, and 3% other. As there was a village of Elves nearby, half-elves were not rare; a significant proportion of the "mainstream humans" had some elven blood..
Perhaps due to its history of neutrality as part of Millisymph, the city was unusually tolerant of racial differences. As was true of nearby Fulmando, many Goblins and Thalosians were either born here or came here voluntarily. As of 1740, the city had no slaves.
Most citizens worshipped the Divine Circle blended with Daeism and Gnomish and indigenous beliefs. Likely due to the nearby temple, worship of Leathania was common.
== Government ==
As part of Millisymph, the city was under its authority. However, no noble less than the rei (king) himself had made any claim to it, so it was largely run by its mayor and city council.
== Groups and Associations ==
It only had one guild, El Gremio de los fabricantes de sombrero de Sombrano (Hat Makers Guild of Sombrano). Non-guild members were allowed to make hats, but the hats could not carry the name Sombrano nor could they be sold outside of the area. Many locals actually wore non-guild hats which were cheaper; most of the guild hats were sold to people outside of Sombrano and some even outside of Millisymph.
El Templo de la estrella de Ladatinia (Star Temple of Leathane) was one of very few, perhaps the only, Placeres divinos (Divine Pleasures) temple in all of Millisymph. It sat just outside the city limits on a hill immediately to the northwest.
