Calamere is the capital city of the Ashil Highlands. It is known as the cultural heart of human civilization on Iyora, and is a bastion of trade and commerce.

## Description

The city is easy to spot from a great distance. Its tall walls protect the beautifully ornate masonry that is the grand city of Calamere. Built along the King’s Bay, the city overlooks the bay and on clearer days you can even see the Wayrial Sea from the Heaven’s Mast, which is the airship tower that only the wealthiest Iyorans use to do business across the continent and even the other nations.

At night, the clocktower that looms over the red shingled rooftops that sprawl across the city from Upper Calamere illuminates the night sky like a third moon.

Among the city’s very busy roadways, the sounds of music from vagrant bards and nearby taverns mingle with the nearly ever-present sound of trade and negotiation.

Outside its 60 foot sturdy walls, farmland sprawls from the city gates all the way to the Mirrored Creak.

## Districts

### The Underborough

This district was formed in a large ditch that the original masons who rebuilt Calamere used to discard unwanted materials, but as time went on - and the Ashilians who could not recover from the losses of war grew desperate, the Underborough was formed to house the less fortunate.

Points of Interest:

* The Dragon's Hoard: a large casino run by Julius Four-Fingers, the casino was the only source of revenue for the district and provided jobs and gold to the needy. However, the casino was burned down by Ruptor Mali, and all that remains is a large red dragon statue.

### Trader's Trail

A large open-air market district that is named after the endless sprawls of caravans that enter the city looking to sell goods and wares. From a rooftop, the market looks like it is a beautiful ocean of colorful tents and stands.

### Ring Ward

Many beautifully built high towers and spires occupy the Ring Ward, including the Heaven's Mast, which houses the city's airships. This district has many expensive boutiques, restaurants, and wineries as it was built to cater towards the rich merchants and nobles who could afford airship travel.

Points of Interest:

* Heaven's Mast: an airship tower where there always seems to be an idle ship readying for another long journey.

### Crafter's Terrace

A large plaza that houses many of the city's guildhalls and crafters. There is a monthly market where the crafters set up stands that occupy the entire plaza where they can sell their wares called the "Craft Market".

Points of Interest:

* Artisan's Assembly: A guild made up of crafters of all trades. They welcome all capable crafters into their ranks and provide work to those who seek it. Jobs are given out based on rank, and the guild takes a significant portion of the commission. Many of their members pray to the Wonderbringer for guidance and pay homage to him through their work.

### Upper Calamere

Upper Calamere is the largest residential district in all of Calamere, and where Calamere Keep stands. While this district is large in size, the neighborhoods are tightly packed together and have many parks, breweries, and restaurants scattered throughout.

Points of Interest:

* Calamere Keep: On the northern side of Upper Calamere, sits the castle of Calamere Keep. Built on a hillside that is surrounded by a moat, the castle is smaller in size but its dark stone brick fortifications are a pleasure to the eye.

### Breezewater Harbor

Hundreds of ships occupy the ports of Breezewater Harbor at any given time, mostly merchant ships from across the world carrying all sorts of wares and goods. At night, the harbor is beautifully lit by nearly a thousand lanterns to celebrate the lives lost defending the city during the war.

### District of Worship

The District of Worship is the heart of religion in Calamere, with many temples dedicated to many Prime Deities. The largest among them are those of the Sarenrae, Ioun, Chauntea, and Tyr.

### High Garden Farthing

Built along a large hillside that looms over Upper Calamere, High Garden Farthing, or simply called "High Garden" is home to the city's government and nobility-class. There are dozens of large grassy parks where young nobles are typically seen practicing magic or swordplay.
