Neruset
The city of Neruset lies in the most temperate area of the Hallowed Plain, just south of the thickest forest on the continent.
Demographics
The more temperate climate of the north attracts a larger population of the nobility, and tradesmen are also common in the area along with the more industrious folk. Druids sometimes pass through or even take up permanent residence in the city, lending to the popularity of Varis within the city.
Defences
Neruset is not the most heavily defended of the Arcean cities, but it also isn't entirely defenseless. The large wooden wall to the north and west of the settlement help keep the city safe from any possible bandits or other invasions, and there is no shortage of Church inquisitors and altruistic druids who would help keep the city safe in an emergency.
Industry & Trade
The main trade of Neruset is wood. For the most part, the raw material is shipped out to Aquer or Argentum to be made into a finished product, but Neruset's shipyard is nothing to laugh at. Many of those who aren't employed in a logging company are making ships in the shipyard to the south of the city, everything from the Church galleons used in the Crusades down through the Merchant caravels and into the smallest of dinghies.
Infrastructure
Most of Neruset's business comes from the abundance of wood to its north, which allows it to corner the market on all wooden supplies, boats, and tools. As a result, the sawmills to the north and the extensive dockyard to the south are the largest parts of the city except for the temple at its center.
Architecture
Most of the buildings are made of wood or stone imported from Argentum. As a result, many of the buildings are not as grandiose as those found in other cities, and this is also due to the heavy influence of the druids and other such folk in the city, who do their best to forestall the expansion of the city into the neighboring forest. The temple of Neruset is the only one in any of the major cities of Arcea to have been made of wood, and is still one of the most elaborate and intricate.
Geography
Neruset lies on the coast of a large peninsula, bordered to the north by a thick forest that is home to many circles of druids.
Natural Resources
The harbor in which Neruset sits makes it an ideal place to fish, and the northern forest allows for large game hunting operations, albeit with opposition from the druids. The plentiful amounts of wood in the area make it the main exporter of wood and wood-based products on the continent.
