Mounteneare -City-

This city is split into tiers, with each tier having its own demographic

The Kingdom of Starsguard runs this City through the Lord The tiers are kept extremely seperate, to ensure that none of the 'lower class' are able to enter and annoy the higher class. The city of Monteneare has many guards throughout, but rather then designated to reduce crimes or protect the innocent, their main task is to dissuade rebellion, and ensure the elites hold on the city and its inhabitants.

The city has massive walls around its outside, and then each tier has few entry ways to get up to the next, with the forth tier only having ten around its outside, and the fifth only one. The Tiers are extremely hard to scale without expert gear (and making a scene), and each towers 100ft above the previous.

Mounteneare started as a mining town, and was able to gains lots of financial independence through this. Howevern now the city mainly gains its wealth through its inhabitants mechantile efforts, and the taxes of the surrounding fiefdom.

The city has brought tradesmen, workers and mechants of all varieties into a common area, for the express purpose of growing a fortune and aquiring power. It has the facilities to make great forges and blast furnaces, however the soil around this city is low in nutrients, and so the city relies on the farmlands of Mounteneare (fief) to supply food to all.

This city is divided into Tiers. Outside the walls is the 'Township' (slums) of Mounteneare. Here people who cannot afford to live within the city stay, by the generosity of the Lord, in order to do the little farming that is possible with Mounteneares poor soil. Crime runs rapart throughout this area, and the gurads of the city often dont approach this area. The first tier is designed as a tourist local, were all are welcome to come spend their gold. It is constantly bustling with people, and has many taverns to suit whatever needs of the travelers. many of the shops here are either built to take advantage of unwary travellers, or are outlandish in their design and product, in an attempt to stand out from the crowd. The second tier is reserved for the Inhabitants of the city. Many who own a shopfront in the first tier live here. This tier is the quieter of the first 3 tiers, many devoted to the residential needs of the city The Third tier is where most of the guild halls are located, and master crafters will set up shop here to provide for the skilled artisans, adventurers and wealth patrons. The Forth tier is for the higher class of the Nearian populas. High ranking government officials will reside here in statley manors, and often send servants to the lower tiers for gear and supplies. This tier is also were many religions will set up large Cathedrals in devotion to their god, and will have their most proficent Paladins and Clerics residing within them. Thrackenaut Academy is also established here The Fifth tier is for the Lordship of Mounteneare. This family resides here in a massive tower, built with an amalgamation of elven, Dwarven and Human design. no building outside of this tier is allowed to come higher then the base of this tier, to show that those who reside here are above all others.

The city has an abundance of factions and guildhalls. Most notable would be the Fortune Axium, Thrackenaut Academy, The StoneWorks, and other similar guilds

Mounteneare started as a small mining town, back when this region was known as Arclight, and ws run by the royalty of Crasia. After years of successful mining importation and selective government choices, this town became a city to rival the at the time capitol of the lands. During this time, the government of Mounteneare had started becoming dissolutioned with the Crasian Royalty, and started talking with the Kigdom of Starsguard about potential option. During the War of Acrlights Ruin, The Kingdom of Starsguard sent detachments of their forces to Mounteneare, and this location acted as a base for Starsguards forces to take over the lands of Arclight. After the roylaty of Crasia was wiped and, and the City was mostly destroyed, the Starsguard royalty elected to renew Mounteneare into the new capitol of this area, and named this new fiefdom after the city.

The main tourism that occurs here is held within the first district. This means that this district has many festivals to honor whatever guests it may have, as well as many markets, events and other opportunities for revelry.

The city of Starsguard is mainly built from stone gathered from the mountain it was built upon. In order to stand out from the dull grey stone work, wealthier inhabitants will build their shop fronts out of wood and other materials.

This city ws built into a mountain, and the majority of its wells utilise a massive underground lake to gain access to clean drinking water.
