Naha

This town on the west coast of northern Mortrimar is intermingled with the surrounding forest. Rather been open sky, it generally has leaves if you look up. This is the town where Fang's family, known collectively as The Ryder Skulk, resides.

The town has approximately 2,000-2,500 residents, a quarter of which claim to be related to Fang in one way or another. Through blood, marriage, adoption, or found, this town means family; and they plan to keep it that way. most residents treat each other as family, even if they can't actually trace a line of heritage.

Other than the Ryders, there is also a hefty population of many ruffians, or at least former ruffians. The town is populated by mercenaries, ex-pirates, old soldiers, and the children therein. Naha serves as a haven for those that want to settle down, start a family, do something for the next generation, instead of the current one. this general ideology is the reason for approximately one third of the population of the city being under the age of adulthood.

The town is separated into 4 districts. The port, the mire, the east ward, and the trade ward(or eastward and tradeward as most residents call it.)

The port is the in and out of the city, where ships for supplies, luxuries, food, and trade goods go in and out. There is 2 separate harbors, one for commercial and one for personal. that is to say, the south port is strictly for goods, already contracted to come in or leave the city, or for cruise ships bringing people as their goods. The north port is for everyone else, wanderers, general marina for residents that own boats, and merchants without contracts looking to sell their wares.

The east ward is the general Residential area, most of the houses and foxholes are in this area. there is also the longhouse, the big house that is half in the ground where Lopi and Kyan, the village elders, reside.

the trade ward is the center of town, the place where the market and all the tourism based buildings like taverns and arcades are held. on one side of the market is a big building named as the Convectionarium. although that is the building's official title, most residents refer to it as "The Treehouse" as the wood used to construct the building is so old, it has grown moss, roots have sprouted from the bottom, and leaves sprouted from the top, making the entire building look like one big square tree. inside the Convectionarium is the chapel and all main places of learning, there is an elementary school, a secondary school, a library, a research laboratory, a bard's college, a scholar's station (representing a very small college, only a couple classes offered a semester by a single professor) and a referral station (a place where students, parents, teachers, professors, and newcomers may speak about what to learn.) The only place of learning not in the Convectionarium is the military school. Which is on the northern edge of Naha and serves less as a guard's training school, and more of a place for delinquent children to learn some discipline.

The last district is to the south, the Mire. it sounds dark and scary, but it is only slightly darker than the rest of the city. As most of the city is interspersed with forest, The mire has bigger trees, meaning bigger canopies, so less light comes through into the area. there are some residents here, such as drow since they enjoy the midday state of dim light, but this district also served as a buffer zone in the past against the poachers that wanted to take the skins of the kitsune and Tanuki that reside in Naha. as the mire is always dimly lit, it was easier for the citizens to mount ambushes in the dark forest. As the knowledge of Kitsune and Tanuki has grown in recent years, the want for their pelts has reduced. so as the mire now is a residential zone and is also charming to walk through the forest with emerald light streaming through the tall canopies. There is a Tanuki couple that has made a living of presenting this charm to a larger section of the world.
