Talarn

Talarn is the capital city of Talaria.



Catpole
Catpole is something of a shanty town that has grown around the city's eastern gates. Ramshackle buildings hide any kind of criminal activity you can imagine.

Chicken Docks
The Chicken Docks are the larger of the two docks in Talarn. It is primarily used to import and export low value goods such as grain and livestock. It also serves as the harbour for Talarn's fisherman hence the all-permeating smell of seafood. Back from the harbourfront are a plethora of warehouses and inns for sailors during their time on land.

Dogstar
Named for the infamous Dog Star Inn, the district of Dogstar has become something of a cultural hub for talarn. It's narrow streets are thronged with colourful characters and the intimate squares are lined with all of manner theaters, artist's studios and artisan's workshops. Whenever a denizen of the Upper Ward desires a centerpeice for their newly decorated lounge, the bright colours and cacophonous sounds of Dogstar are surely their first stop.

Glassdocks
While the Chicken Docks are used for day-to-day wares, the Glassdocks transport more interesting cargo. Bows and timber armour from Fanorinn; dyes and chitin harvested by the Soniti Tribes all flow into the Glassdocks on a daily basis from all corners of the world. However, the main export is ironglass; harvested by the dwarves of the Ironglass Mountains and floated down the river to be loaded onto ships ready to be sold. Behind the wharves and the well-guarded warehouses lie streets of shops selling luxuries the likes of which the common people will never see.

Three Hooks
Three hooks is by far the largest district of Talarn. As such, it houses the common folk of the city. A Sprawl of houses surrounding the King's common, a patch of land up against the city walls used by playing children and grazing animal's alike.

Twilightgate
As the sun sets over Talarn, it shines through the Twilight gate and illuminates The Temple of the Sun God. Twilightgate houses the middle class of Talarn, its tradesmen, its priests and it's guards. Those with enough money to have moved out of Three Hooks or Weaver's Bridge but not enough to afford a house on the slopes of the Upper Ward.

Upper Ward
The Upper Ward is the reserve of the richest citizens of Talarn. The slopes below the keep are lined with large houses and sedan chairs meander up and down the slopes. Located in the east of the Upper Ward, on the bank of the river, is the House of Glass, which controls stranglehold on the city's ironglass trade.
