Milspar

Milspar is one of the four largest cities of Millisymph. It is located on the coast in the southwestern portion of Millisymph oeste, and is that area's largest city. In 1737 it had a population of 98,000.
== History ==
Milspar was founded in 1537 which a group of smaller communities joined together.
== Geography ==
Milspar was located southeast of the Quatrona forest. It was much less hilly than Fulmando, but still had different terrain levels. For the most part, the wealthier neighborhoods were either on Montículo Perla (Pearl Hill) or by its western coast on the Bay of Millisymph. It was known for its fine white sand beaches.
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. With the exception of magical alteration, snow was not seen here.
== Economy ==
The city is know for its sailing ships and as a tourist destination featuring some of the finest beaches of the Lamadien region.
== Society ==
Humans form the largest percentage of the population, but many other races could be found here. The population includes a number of races. The population is about 80% mainstream Human, 8% Elf, 6% Merfolk, 2% Gnome, 1% Halfling, 1% Thalosian, and 3 percent other.
Perhaps due to its history of neutrality as part of Millisymph, the city was unusually tolerant of racial differences. Many Thalosians were either born here or came here voluntarily. Unlike much of the rest of Millisymph, it was egalitarian toward girls and women.
Most citizens worshipped the Divine Circle with Daeus considered one of its gods mixed with indigenous beliefs including the tradtionial Merfolk religion. The Sisters of Surrea (here called Las Hermanas de Surrea) were prominent here and usually worshipped Grebonia. A significant proportion of the population still worshipped the old gods of Millisymph and the Merfolk. In practice, the old and the new mixed freely here with each other and with other beliefs. Like Millisymph in general, Milspar was religiously tolerant.
The primary language was Thisslam (sometimes called Thissaliman or Lamadien), which was a blending of Thissalin and native languages. However, because it was a port city, most visitors could likely find someone who spoke their native language.
== Government ==
The city was supposedly under the authority of Condesa Sierra Milspar beginning on the day of the marriage of Duque Miguel Fulmando to Duquesa Dulce Fulmando in 1738 due to a remark made by her father Rei Geraldo VI. In reality, especially as Sierra was born in 1733 and lived through her youth in Durmando, it had been overseen by the Council of Milspar.
Laws were relatively free for a city in Edyleine, but quite strict in matters of weapons and the military. Carrying any non-peace bonded weapon beyond a staff or knife was strictly regulated and requires a license unless acting under the authority of a visiting noble or other dignitary. Military ships were greatly restricted from docking here, and generally could only do so with prior approval or in case of an emergency.
Practicing mages were required to be registered with either the city authorities, a noble, or a guild; the same was true for practicing alchemists. This regulation included visitors to the city, and was strictly enforced in the city limits and somewhat less so in the immediately surrounding areas. After the end of the Trynser-Zazimar War, production of demon dust was not allowed in the city.
