Tussoa

The city of Tussoa is home to roughly 21,000 inhabitants. Of them, 71% are humans, 10% are elves, 8% are halflings, and 11% are other races. Many folks here in Tussoa find there work in labor, timber, wood working, etc.

Marquis Tusila Latu currently directs the rule of law in Tussoa, taking particular pride in her Ki'Nau heritage and the Ki'Nau heritage of her people and her city. The marquis treats her Zhelezo and constituents well, eager to build loyalty in a time of creeping Myriad interests. Marquis Tusila insists on being involved in all trials where life and death are concerned and is renowned as a champion of justice, unlike her corrupt predecessor, Marquis Maros du Simmas.

The competing Majest and Regver timber guilds are the leading suppliers of lumber to Port Damali. They work along the Copia Wildwood and send their trunks down the Tyodan to their mills at the port, usually accompanied by hired hands to protect their goods. Because the prime logging sites of the forest are hotly contested and not overseen by the Zhelezo, both guilds hire mercenaries to guard their work and clear out nearby monsters stalking the shadows of the wood.

Laid out in the shape of a large V, this bustling fishing city of lively docks and a hard-working populace is spread out over two main roads that meet at the northeast edge, with numerous smaller roads connecting the major thoroughfares. The northern road is Pulum Road, and most of the city's shops, inns, and storage houses are kept to the road's eastern edge, interspersed with neighborhoods made up of simple shacks. The southwestern road is Vaigvasa Road, built along the edge of the Tyodan River. Here, more homes and businesses fill the inner regions, while fishing huts and river logging stations line the southern, outer side. The two roads meet at the Lotoe Plaza, home to the Olo, the repurposed temple to Uk'otoa that now acts as the court of the marquis. All holidays and celebrations are centered in the Lotoe Plaza, which is known to become crowded enough with people on such days that the streets can barely be seen.

Once a Ki'Nau fishing village, Tussoa has grown into a small city under the control over the Clovis Concord. Reflecting those humble beginnings, while the central district at the intersection of the Pulum and Vaigvasa roads is busy and modernized, the outer residential areas are still primarily reed-and-straw structures. Unlike some of the larger cities of the Concord, Tussoa is minimally involved in politics, and its people pride themselves on a simpler life. The greatest threats come from the surrounding Copia Wildwood and other natural sources.
