## **City Description**

Stormbrough is an old city, looking at the wealth of historical buildings and architecture makes that clear to all. It is also a hearty city built to last through major storms and disaster. The heart of the city is made up of a lot of old stone buildings that are then surrounded by newer wooden ones. The streets are carefully cobbled in order to help drainage for the rainy seasons. The walls are not gated but instead act as a choke area for any intruders, though they are also guarded.

### Skit Row

A district in the walls which has fallen into decay, it is not close to the main road nor the water. There is affordable housing here although also large amounts of crime and gang activity. There is a large amount of non humans in this district. There is a low guard presence and they tend to look the other way as they have more 'important' things to be dealing with.

The Blackend Hand operates out of this district.

### The Docks

This district is made up of the coastline and the blocks leading there. There are a large amount of taverns and market spaces in this district for the sailors and travelers that come to the city. There also are churches for the gods of the sea which have path ways clearly marked out for sailors.

### Restless Wharf

Along the west side of the docks is the Restless Wharf which is a busy dockyard often full of sailors and merchants. The buildings along the street are made up of werehouses for the goods being shipped in and out of the city, taverns and brothels for the sailors, and cheap temporary housing for travelers of all kinds.

### Emerald Plaza

A large green space near The Docks it is used for public events such as festivals and auctions. The area surrounding it has plenty of bars and places to get food. There is almost always something to do in this space and it is a popular spot for travelers to come to.

### Sapphires View

A district close to the sea but away from the main docks, giving it a beautiful view of the ocean without too many ships in the way or too many people around. It is home to many offices, shops geared for the finer things in life, and some homes for some of the rich members of the community.

### Arcane Alley

A street hidden using magic, only those who know the location of the entrance along with the codeword may enter. The entrance is a old and closed up bar named Ruben's House. The code word is "Don't forget The Hunter."

The alley itself is made up of small shops selling supplies for magic, spellbooks and scrolls. Along with alchemy and potion shops and shops where people sell their magical services. There is some housing mainly used by recluse wizards or members of more magical races that want to avoid humans. It is owned and protected by Mr. Isorin Abras. Who lives in a tower in the middle of the alley which can't be seen from outside the alley.

### Woodland

The newest district inside the walls it was built over an old graveyard. It was built due to the expanding population of Stormbrough. It is both a commercial and residential district which is almost exclusively made of wood. There are a few manors and towers built out of stone but those are for rich people. The older residents of Stormbrough don't like the district much and go out of their way to avoid it.

There are rumors that the district is either haunted or that it drives the residents crazy as residents often complain of random loud noises at night with no source, there seems to be an ever present chill in the air in the area, and the reports of ghost sightings in the city are concentrated in Woodland, For this reason it's been nicknamed Phantom's Street.

### Wheatley

A farming district outside the walls it has a focus on wheat production hence the name. Although it also has other plants and is home to animals as well. The district is well known for it's beer which has a fruity note to it. It feels like it's own town and many residents act as if it were though it still has to follow Stormbrough laws and is policed by the Stormbrough guard. In recent years there has been increasing tention as the residents feel like their needs and wants for the city are taken as second rate and that they aren't listened to.
