Gestal

During the life of the original Manna and their lost tribe, they had created the city of Gestal**.** The name of the city has scholars believing that the original tribe was called the **Gestalin**, but there is no other evidence of this being the case. Manna today now uses the city of Gestal as a main gathering hub. Within the city are eight branches.

The northernmost branch is the **Hall of Royalties**. The leaders of each of the Manna tribes convene within the Hall to discuss the current state of their tribes and request aid when needed. Leaders of tribes who have shaky grounds with one another will also use the Hall of Royalties as a place of peace to meet with each other, discussing treaties and compromises between their lands.

The northeastern branch is the **Hall of Steel**. Craftsmen of each tribe convene here to do work involving metals and dangerous materials. The Manna within it will exchange recipes and learn the smelting methods of each tribe, sometimes integrating hints of it into their own tribes armors and weapons.

The eastern branch is the **Woodworks**. **Woodworkers** of each tribe convene to craft and sculpt with a variety of wood. It is common courtesy amongst the woodworkers to bring logs and timber from their homelands when visiting the area, allowing woodworkers of other tribes to experiment and craft with wood that they are usually unable to get. This is also where woodworkers of tribes can take on mentorships and apprentices to learn the carving and sculpture techniques of sister tribes.

The southeastern branch is the **Hall**. Manna mingle within the Hall, with chefs and those who enjoy cooking creating dishes popular to each of their tribes to share with everyone. As well as creating meals, they will also share drinks - both alcoholic and nonalcoholic. The Hall has banners representing each tribe lining the walls, with communal tables set out for the tribes to eat and drink together.

The southernmost branch is the **Stables**. When Manna arrives at Gestal, they park their companions and mount within this area as a safe space for them to wait for their return. The Stables is also an area for Manna to purchase livestock and new mounts for them to take back to their tribelands with them.

The southwestern branch is the **Halls of Magic**. Magic users within the tribes come together to research the magical energies of Eprea deeper, trying to discover new types of magic to control. All Manna are welcome within the Halls of Magic, except for necromancers, which are deeply looked down upon amongst the magi of Eprea.

The western branch is the **Hall of Worship**. Within this hall are statues of each of the Celestials lined along the walls, each of them tucked neatly into a depression in the wall. On either side of the depression are two open arches leading into a small communing room. The mock shrines are primarily used as a place to request aid from the Celestials.

The northwestern branch is the **Hall of Fortune**. The tribes of Manna will come together to bundle their economies. A large, stretched out marketplace can be seen all the way down the branch, with vendors selling and trading unique items from their tribe. The market is always open with the stalls being first come, first serve, making it to where the stalls are constantly shifting and changing depending on the time of year and who arrives to claim them.
