Knightchester

== Description ==
Knightchester began as a modest hunting lodge, established by a group of noble families seeking a retreat in the uncharted wilderness between the Whitestone Mountains and the Thetrahedrite Tip. The original purpose of the lodge was to provide a base for noble hunters to pursue the exotic and dangerous creatures of the region. Over time, the city expanded as more nobles and adventurers arrived, attracted by the promise of thrilling hunts and untamed landscapes. 
Overtime, as more nobles frequented the lodge, it was expanded with extra housing and a small wall. As the needs of their noble visitors rose, the settlement began to attract servants and crafts folk who can produce and repair gear or take care of the kills the nobles dragged back. Overtime, the city evolved into a renowned hub for monster hunting, with a reputation for both its elite clientele and its skilled hunters.
=== Hawkeye Lodge ===
At the heart of Knightchester lies the original hunting lodge and its surrounding support buildings, many still in their original condition. This district is known for its namesake: the Hawkeye Lodge. A grandiose mansion surrounded with lush gardens and filled with trophies of past hunts. Around the Hawkeye Lodge, many newer mansions have been constructed in a similar frontier style to cater to the many noble visitors.

=== The Wilds ===
The Wilds is a bustling district characterized by its vibrant market stalls and shops dedicated to monster hunting gear. The architecture here is more rugged, with timber and stone buildings that reflect the city’s wild side. 
The name originally came from the noble residents of the Hawkeye Lodge, who referred to the commoner's camps around the expanding lodge as “The Wilds” due to its lack of top-down organization.
One of Knightchester's most famous taverns, The Beast’s Belly Tavern is located in the wilds. It's a meeting place for the common hunter, adventurer, and explorer to exchange information, boast of their achievements and to enjoy the ever-changing palette of food cooked from the hunted monsters. Next to it is the associated Trophy and Tail where successful hunters can have their kills turned into trophies and taxidermies. If no trophy is wanted, a hunter might sell their kill to Hide and Horn, where the materials of a monster are turned into gear, armour, and weapons for the hunt.
