River Pass
A small city that is located on a piece of land where two rivers connect. People have been settling in the area since the beginning of the Mortal Age due to the ease it is to travel from it.
There are seven sections of the city that are all split up by canals. These canals were formed when the Spirit Anacrellon attacked the early settlers of the area. They battled for two days, and the Spirit tore apart the earth. Once the settlers defeated the Spirit, they rebuilt their homes and found that the canals that appeared made the area great for farming.
Government
7 Lords are elected by the populace every 3 years. These lords are often prominent figures within their districts.
Defences
The river-facing sides of the city have just under half a dozen stone towers that offer protection from anyone attacking by water. Two ballistas stand on the top of the towers and there are dozens of large open windows that archers can fire from.
The Lords of the Canels also employed three Water Elementals to swim through the canals and surrounding rivers constantly. They are tasked with scouting any invasions and offering a first line of defense.
Industry & Trade
Their largest export is the gemstones they create in their canals which are useful as jewelry and in spellcasting. Along with this, they also export a lot of the agriculture that they grow to neighboring realms.
For imports they bring in ore and lumber from surrounding lands since they have neither in great quantity.
Infrastructure
While the city does thrive on trade the city's true product is the azurite and malachite they have managed to form using their canals. The clerics of the city have sped up the process using magical ladened stones.
