Sydres

Sydres is an industrial town in Zephyria, Grendelonia. Its population is approximately 2,300 Grendel living under squalid conditions.

## Geography

Constructed over the peak of a lava stream, Sydres is approximately 350 miles from Mistralton. It wasn't built on a lava stream by accident, because the fertile soil allows the Sydrein to make plentiful amounts of Sydrein vodka.

The settlement itself looks like something out of a Russian oblast. With the rusted metal pipes and black walls on the buildings, Sydres seems somber, and that assumption is right.

## Economy

Sydres' economy is prospering, which is primarily supported by potato farming, vodka brewing, blacksmithing, pottery, and its home-grown entertainment. It is strongly defended by strong guards, and strong magicians, that barely help out the people of the city.

## Government

Sydres is governed by a consortium of wealthy CEOs, who are secretly backed by Tilias Corporation, a Grendelonian megacorporation.

## Notable Places:

Sydres Station: A large train station and inn, kept by a retired Grendel worker named Bob, who is based off of Bob Hope.

Valerie's Pottery: A large potter's workshop. The workshop is decorated what appear to be shards of dragon eggs. Owned by Valerie, a Grendel who resembles Lassie quite a bit.

Cobblepot Theater: A grand stone-walled theatre, known for its avant-garde comedies, often put on by Vanya O'Heron.

The Road to Freedom: A wide tunnel extends from here to the town of Qyin in the Downwind County. The tunnel is accessed through a shaft, within which a sturdy platform is raised and lowered by a massive windlass of hewn stone and timber.
