Ravisthark

Ravisthark is a city of 42,000, mostly human of more or less Celebrunt orgin.
Services: A bank, merchant houses, lodgings and other institutions associated with national capitals are found here, but the decline of the city has forced them into austerity measures.
Exports: Quarried granite, sometimes taken from run down public works, shipped to developing cities such as Durman in Millisymph or Curgane in Argond; almonds are also grown here and shipped regionally; prussic acid and cyanide used for alchemy, gold and silver smithing, and more nefarious purposes comes from the almonds.
Imports: The royals and their court enjoy the finer things despite their diminished position: fine works of jewelry and art and clothing have a market here; silks and other fine textiles are brought in from Sung Xuo and Casterria and Askordia in Trynser.
The nominal capital of Celebrund, Ravisthark is only the fourth largest city in the nation. The king rarely even holds court here, preferring his palace forty miles to the east. Lately, many lords have not been attending King Durchane’s court, preferring to stay in the comforts of their own palaces and manors. The underused palace in Ravisthark is hundreds of years old and is quite run down as far as royal palaces go. Some other royal holdings, even older, are being quarried for the stone for export.
On the other hand, the Eye and Fist of Jonvius is building a brand new temple near the palace that is grander than the royal building in every respect, to the king’s chagrin.
