The capital of Byssia. About 18k people.
Location
At the intersection of two minor rivers in the south-central area of Byssia. Heavily linked to the canal network.
Defenses
Very little. A few dozen monk-guards and various sages. Posses of citizens can be called up if needed. No wall. This is changing fairly rapidly during the Time of Troubles.
Economics
Pre-Time of Troubles, Byss was mostly a farming community with light manufacturing, especially packaging and processing of dyes.
Starting with 254 AC, a substantial effort has been made to provide a proper national center, including military headquarters and depositories, weapons production, and associated manufacturing. Of the major capitals, it's still by far the most bucolic.
Leadership
- Arch Druid Damon Dreamcat--male wood elf. Middle-aged Druid (Circle of the Moon). Prefers the shape of large cats. Tends to speak cryptically.
- High Sage Savvas Stonemaster--female human. Older Elemental Sage (Outward Spiral). Prefers earth elementals, is not pretty (very solid and blocky like her servants). Brusque.
- High Judge Danai the Just--female half-elf. Currently serving as Presiding High Judge. New to that position and young. Does not tolerate flippancy. Think Judge Judy, but young and relatively pretty.
