Morda
Morda is a costal city owned by the Knights of the Forge. It is a bustling, prosperous trading hub of goods and is a tourist stop for most travelers. The city is currently in a period of economic growth, with new ore veins being discovered in the mountains that surround it. The city is relatively large, but still has very few buildings higher than 2 stories tall.
Demographics
The city is mostly made up of humans, dwarfs, and elves. The wealth of the city is distributed mostly among the rich middle class in the port side of the city, but there are programs in place to support the poorer part of the city.
Government
This city is governed by a council of equals, elected by the citizens to preserve their interests
Defences
The city has walls surrounding the Noble and Commerce districts, but the Slums and Mining district are not inside these walls as they were not in the original designs for the city.
Industry & Trade
The settlement uses trade to keep its economy running. It is a hub for all east bound exports out of the Forge, and is very successful because of it. Recently it exports silver as well, and fish when there is surplus. Most of the time however, the city imports food and other goods from other parts of the Forge.
Infrastructure
Shipyards, docks, paved roads, sewers
Districts
The city has several districts, with a relatively new one being expanded upon by the dwarfs. There is a commerce district to the south west of the city, where the docks are. Most travelers to visit the city stay here, and so the ATG has a guild hall here. Further inland there is the noble district, resting on top of a hill in the center of the city. The newest district is the mining district, dwarfs making tunnels into the rock upon discovering a sliver vein inside Mount Hokdren. There are also some dwarven homes in the mountain, accommodating the new influx of dwarfs from other cities in the Forge's territory. The Slums fill in the rest of the space, homes of the less fortunate who tried to make their fortune here and failed.
Guilds and Factions
the ATG has their regional guild hall here, they are strong players in the city's politics. There is also a powerful Maritime Guild here, taxing ships entering and leaving port.
Tourism
The city has many facilities for tourism in its commerce district, offering scenic views of the mountains and forest leading up into the city.
