Aramoore

The capital city of The Twisting Isles, Aramoore is a spectacle to behold. The city spans across 10 miles of flat land with a natural mountainous barrier to the north. The majority of its citizens are human, but Tritons, elves, and dwarves are not uncommon here. Perpetually sunny due to the odd weather pattern nearby, Aramoore is in a constant state of cool summer. The smell of salt from the Sea of Tarmán is inescapable, and the sound of the constant wind mixes with the sound of fishmongers and shiprites plying their trades. The city is ruled by Grand Mercantalist Huxley, who's great grandfather discovered the usefulness of the Tarmáran Trout and founded the city. The city is overseen by the Council of Six which consists of the Grand Mercantilist, a representative for the each of the elves, dwarves, and tritons, the Harbormaster, and the Archmage.

Built like an artificial mountainside, the main keep is built into the flat side of the cliffs that slope into the wilderness behind, providing protection from the north. The harbor to the south is protected from direct entrance from the sea by Two-Hammocks Reef a long rigid barrier that separates the inner harbor from the open sea. Ships hoping to dock in Aramoore must approach in the channel to the west to avoid destroying their ships on the reef. The city has a heavily guarded eastern and western gated wall of defense that spans from the northern cliffs to the rocky outcroppings in the sea.

Goods and services are easy to come by in the city. Plenty of tradesmen, shiprites, and smiths find prosperous work here. There are a few guilds that operate here for the benefit of its members. The Fisherman's Alliance makes sure that the price on Tarmáran Trout is both fair and competitive, as are the services the fishermen need. The Shiprite's Union holds boat makers to a high standard of quality. The open temple square has monuments to the many gods of the region, and worshippers come and go as they please. Priests tend the statues and offerings throughout the day. The College of Magic here is modest in nature, teaching of water and weather manipulation for those with talent and coin.

The city is a hub of commerce due to the large Tarmáran Trout population in the surrounding waters. As one of the few reliable places in the region to get supplies and quality goods, the capital of Aramoore stands proudly facing the southern sea.
