Morn Durahl

Morn Durahl is the capital city of the Kingdom of Forenthia.

## Districts

### Carrington Heights

Carrington Heights is the northwestern district of Morn Durahl. A wealthy area, Carrington Heights is where many old money families live. There are a few establishments such as shops, restaurants, and artisans in the area, but it is mostly residential.

### Old Chester Point

Old Chester Point is a moderately wealthy district of Morn Durahl. Middle-class families tend to live in Old Chester Point, as do young professionals. Mid-tier palace workers who do not live inside the palace also reside in Old Chester Point. The area is named for Chester's, a well-known tavern that was once the staple of the district. Chester's has since moved locations, but the area is still known as Old Chester Point. There is a main entrance to the city in this district, so there is a large marketplace along the main thoroughfare inside the western gate.

#### Establishments in Old Chester Point

* Blacksmith - run by a gnome man named Markus. Calvin visited the smithy on the suggestion of Geppetto's friend Felix but ultimately decided not to purchase.

### River District

The River District is a mostly residential neighborhood of Morn Durahl. Residents of the River District tend to work in Morbun Row or Old Chester Point, and they rend to live in small family homes in the district. Karmai tracked down Josiah the architect to his family home in the River District and encountered his sister there.

### Morbun Row

The area of Morbun Row controls much of the trade that comes in and out of Morn Durahl. There are few residential homes, and anyone who resides in the area lives in apartment housing above various establishments. Those who live in Morbun Row are solidly working-class, often sharing an apartment with many roommates. Much of Morbun Row is comprised of docks and sailors' establishments.

#### Establishments in Morbun Row

* The Docks - run by a water genasi woman. She offered the party two options to travel north along the River Kwenda - a fishing boat and a larger and more expensive (but ultimately faster) ship.
* Sailor's Plunge Tavern - a stayover tavern for many travelers and sailors while their ships are docked. Run by a tiefling man named Damien, the tavern is a lively bar for gambling and debauchery. Karmai played Damien in cards, winning a small profit, and Chosen Jarvis conned the tiefling into paying him a hefty sum for unfulfilled sexual services. Chosen Jarvis convinced Damien he had a rare blood disease only contagious to tieflings, and Damien promptly kicked him out of the tavern.

### Hellind Park

Hellind Park is a large public park in the center of Morn Durahl. It is a place for people to relax and enjoy the outdoors, as there are few publicly accessible green spaces in the city.

### Temple District

The Temple District is the religious district of Morn Durahl. It contains temples to the major deities of Illyra Wo, including Bahamut, Moradin, Oghma, Selûne, Eldath, and Chauntea.

### Middle Wayfort

Middle Wayfort is a low-tier district of Morn Durahl. Those who reside here often live below the poverty line, living paycheck to paycheck and taking out loans to cover the cost of living. With no help from the palace, many of these families are left to suffer and have lived in poverty for generations. Many of the residents of Middle Wayfort work in the Coins, City Centre, and Morbun Row.

#### Establishments in Middle Wayfort

* Carpenter Shop - run by a wood elf man named Felix. Geppetto knew Felix during his time in the city, and Felix has offered to assist Geppetto in his tinkering endeavors. Felix has also implied he sells less savory inventions on the black market and struck an agreement with Geppetto to build him a saw powered by magic for free so long as Felix can continue to build them and sell them in the Dragon's Ash district.
* Onyx Claw Brewery - a large bar and brewery seemingly under control of the Cordero crime family. Here, the party encountered Chosen Jarvis, who joined their group, as well as Ryker, a bartender who spilled some secrets about the doppelgangers that attacked Tristan's estate. As the party stood in a nearby alley, a young human man named Joffrey exited and booted them out, recognizing Chosen Jarvis and revealing himself as the son of crime boss Caurius Cordero.

### Dragon's Ash

The Dragon's Ash district, nicknamed Suicide Lane, is a poverty-stricken, crime-riddled area of Morn Durahl. The district is home to the seedy underground of the city, though nobody outside the area likes to acknowledge its existence. There are few apartments or businesses, and it is whispered that the mafia and thieves' guilds work out of Dragon's Ash. The district earned its nickname due to the constant slew of bodies that turn up in the area, which are frequently deemed suicides by law enforcement.

#### Establishments in Dragon's Ash

* The Demondome - a fighting ring and tavern run by a human man named Cobalt. Cobalt is one of Geppetto's old connections in the area, and he provided the party with information on Tristan's daughter Wendy - she's a con artist in the area and frequently disguises herself as a dwarf man using her Hat of Disguise.
* AllMarket - a black market hidden in the dark alleys of Dragon's Ash. Upon visiting, the party encountered a half-elf teen who sold Karmai a dagger, a tiefling woman selling items out of a Bag of Holding, and two vendors of slave labor. It is rumored that firearms, which are illegal in Morn Durahl, are also sold at the AllMarket. As part of a hazing ritual, Chosen Jarvis navigated the AllMarket naked, stealing a few items and causing chaos.
	+ Potions - run by a green dragonborn woman, the same that sells potions at the King's Bazaar during the day. Chosen Jarvis shattered one of her potions in an attempt to steal it, but she seemed to have a thing for him and let him off without argument.
	+ Magic weapons - sold out of a Bag of Holding by a halfling man. Chosen Jarvis stole the bag during the hazing ritual. Inside, the party found an elven chain shirt and a flame-tongue shortsword.
	+ Labor - the party noted one particular vendor of slave labor, a hulking Minotaur man with two aasimar for sale. Though they were repulsed by the sight, the party ultimately decided the fight would kill them and they would return later to try and shut it down.
	+ Karmai purchased a magic dagger from a half-elf teen. It was unclear what this teen actually sold at the market, as they seem to have had the dagger for protection and not for sale. The half-elf produced another dagger seemingly out of nowhere to replace the one they sold Karmai.
* Cobbler's Shop - seemingly a front for criminal activity. When the party visited, they encountered a human man whittling at the counter who quickly disappeared when the party threatened him for information on Wendy. They chased him through a trap door behind the counter which led to a tunnel system. They tracked him to what was seemingly a dead end but upon further investigation was actually a door. As a scorpion, Aleria crept into the next room, finding five rogues, concealing their faces with hoods and masks, all pointing weapons at the door. Aleria wildshaped back into her half-orc form, throwing open the latches on the door before being immediately taken down by a barrage of arrows and daggers from the rogues. After a brief scuffle, the rogues ultimately escaped and Aleria was revived.

### The Coins

The Coins are a relatively recent addition to the cityscape of Morn Durahl. Home to high-end culture, the Coins are where new money goes.

### Callamut Crossing

Callamut Crossing is a mid-tier district of Morn Durahl. Mostly residential, the area is home to one of the main entrances to the city at the eastern gate.

### City Centre

City Centre is the central hub of Morn Durahl. There are few homes, except for apartments above businesses where the owners reside. Everybody, regardless of social standing, frequents City Centre for one reason or another.

#### Establishments in City Centre

* Blacksmith - run by a silver dragonborn. Geppetto visited this shop to purchase tinker's tools. In exchange for a good price, he infused the smith's tools with magic to constantly smell like bacon and eggs, which brought good business to the inn and tavern next door.
* Inn and Tavern - owned and operated by a half-orc man. The party stopped here after their investigation at the palace. It was here that they realized the seemingly nondescript envelope they took off a dead guard was actually written in invisible ink and addressed to a "Sir Bowman." The party has also encountered occasional-ally Gronk in this tavern, as his cousin Cassius owns the place.
* Leatherworker - run by a human man named John. Here, Geppetto purchased a custom holster for his chainsaw.

### Upper Garden Acres

Upper Garden Acres is a high-end neighborhood of Morn Durahl. It is home to many politicians and others close to the crown. Homes are far apart and sit on many acres of land, allowing for some privacy and open space in the city. The Genaran Embassy, where Sir Tristan and his family reside, sits on the northeastern side of the Upper Garden.

### King's Bazaar

The King's Bazaar is a thoroughfare outside the palace, separating Castle Forenthis from the northern wall. It is more a courtyard than a proper city district, but it is frequently used by local merchants and artisans when not being used by the palace.

#### Vendors

* Mercantile - run by a tiefling man selling clothes and textiles.
* Apothecary - run by a green dragonborn woman. The party had a potion evaluated here and purchased an additional Potion of Resistance (acid).
* Curios - run by a gnome man. Aleria purchased a skull from this booth, believing it to be the shrunken head of a dragon. It was, in fact, the skull of an iguana.
* Menagerie - run by a brass dragonborn man.

### Castle Forenthis

Castle Forenthis is an enormous citadel, reinforced on all sides by the inner wall of Morn Durahl. A large town in and of itself, the palace is the crown jewel of the city.
