Byss

The capital of Byssia. About 18k people.

Location

At the intersection of two minor rivers in the south-central area of Byssia.

Defenses

Very little. A few dozen monk-guards and various sages. Possies of citizens can be called up if needed. No wall.

Economics

Light manufacturing, especially cotton textiles. A market has grown up for the packaging of dyes from the islands for shipment elsewhere.

Leadership

The High Court, composed of

• 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.
