A port city that was once a great and thriving town of trade. Doronhal’s great walls which go all the way around the large city and protect its inhabitants. However what was once a great and respectable city has fallen to shambles. The streets are filthy, the walls and stone buildings covered in grime, and the water in the peer would make anyone who drinks its violently ill from pollutant. The city center building are made entirely of stone and as you move outwards the buildings become more and more made of wood until you get to the outermost point of the city by the walls where people live in just shacks. While there is the noble district which houses all the lords and ladies of the town, most of them living of the inheritance of their parents shipping companies, the majority of the town has a seedier element to it. With dozens of assassins and theives guilds throughout the city there is always the chance you could could end up with a knife in your back at any moment. The only places that seem to be off limits to death, are bars. Even then, chances are you’ll be stabbed the minute your out the door.
There are guards in the city who occasionally try to catch and thief or a mugger but they generally try to keep to themselves in the center part of town, fearing a stabbing in retribution. Occasionally in the town square the gallows will be put together and a group of prisoners hanged in a feeble attempt to show some sense of justice and law. Instead all it does is portray the twisted mockery of what should be, and allows the officials to go home and sleep soundly at night, while the commoners simply continue about their miserable lives.
Just outside the city walls there are shanty towns all around. The towns serve as a harsh reminder of the cities current state of affairs and when compared to the great towering walls, a shocking disparity between what is and what was.
Population: 23,000
