Myravel

Myravel is a large akreyan town. It is an independent enclave along the great Spice Road. The city is quite prosperous as its golden rooftops show. It is a very desired destination for travelers, traders and pilgrims alike. The place is a beautiful resort with hot springs below the town and fresh mountain air. Apart from trade and money lending, the town's main source of income is from hospitality and services. The town has many wellness oases such as bathhouses, massage houses, inns, taverns, theaters and artisan workshops for the more affluent merchants and nobles. Though it also contains affordable rest stops for ordinary travelers and pilgrims, with laundry services, horse dealers, food markets and clothing makers. The town is located in a valley in the mountains just off the Spice Road in the south of Middland.
  Myravel does not have significant military capabilities. Instead, access to the pass leading to the town in the mountains is protected by the fortress of the Order of the Dawn-Watch. Within Myravel itself, a troop known as the "Golden Guard" ensures public safety and enforcement of the city's laws. In addition, wealthy merchants and travelers have the option of hiring an escort from the Akreyans, the "Guildwardens" , to ensure a safe passage along the Spice Road. The Akreyan soldiers are mostly recruited from arena fighters, gladiatrices, and exhibition fighters whose performances in the amphitheater are generously paid for by travelers seeking entertainment.
