Wudgarv

96,000, mostly Celebrunt humans, but with a smattering of Thissalins, as well as about 10,000 goblinoids.Services: Unlike the capital, Wudgarv is a thriving city that features all the services that are associated with a city of its size. The lenders of Wudgarv are pioneering the trade of insurance sales to shipowners and other merchants.Exports: Gold, silver, and copper is mined in the mountains east of the city, driving an industry based on minting coins and medals and other simple jewelry; tuna is caught, dried, and shipped to discriminating palates across the region; and grapes, lemons, and oranges, and byproducts including juices, oils, syrups, jellies, and wine are shipped to more northern realms such as Arumelia, Erendor, and Pengaldia.Imports: Lumber from Bladvale and other coastal realms is shipped in to suppliment the local but less plentiful supply; vehicles of different types, such as ships, boats, carriages, and wagons are brought in from Millisymph and Arana; and some iron and other industrial metals are imported from Tasadeon and Arumelia.Wudgarv is not ruled by any of the petty nobles that dominate Celebrund: the ancestoral Counts of the city were run out of town several generations ago and are prohibited by law from returning. Royal influence is as weak here as it is elsewhere in the nation, so the city practically rules itself.The city does back the king in his resistance to the Eye and Fist of Jonvius, a service they provide in return for even more independence. However, the sect is popular with at least a tenth of the population.The city itself is a port on the far western side of the country. It is a day’s journey away from the Millisymph Canal for any ship worthy of being sailed on the open sea. Gold from the Catar Mountains mined within the kingdom finds it’s way to Wudgarv where it propels a lot of the trade along the coast. Copper is also plentiful, and a lot of bronze is made in this town. Also, the city’s fishing fleet works a tuna fishery miles to the northwest. Olives, grapes, and other fruit such as lemons and limes are grown here.
Wudgarv is known for it’s goldsmiths and jewlers, and the local craftsmen specialize in minting coins, medals and various small intricate items. Millisymph, Tasadeon, and Argond all have coins minted here, but surprisingly, the king insists on minting the local currency in Ravisthark, producing coins that many feel are inferior.
