Melin-solei
Canopy of Voices
Buried in the depths of the Del'jour Woodlands is the grand city Melin-solei, built around a tremendous steel structure known as the Steelleaf Tree that has existed long before the city was founded which reaches towards the sky with thin metallic branches. The base of this structure lies the Steelleaf Academy, a university for history, music, and art and has played host to numerous great historians and storytellers throughout its many centuries of existence. Melin-solei has a moderate climate and is mostly shrouded by the thick canopy above them.
Demographics
Large human, elvish, dragonborn, and halfling populations
Defences
Heavy wood and stone walls encircle much of Melin-solei, supported by gunner towers reinforced with metal. Heavy gunpowder cannons and artillery are spread through the city in case of larger dangers, sponsored by the Legion Marred.
Industry & Trade
Most of the income Melin-solei receives comes from prospective students at Steelleaf Academy and various services catered to them. In addition, common exports include lumber from the local Lumberjack's Guild, pelts from the Hunter's Society, and intricately crafted goods such as pottery and paintings.
Infrastructure
Melin-Solei has a network of underground sewers and guilds invested in sanitizing the cobblestone city roads. Wells are dug in various spots of the city for public use and maintained with taxes. Private groves surrounding the city and ranchers provide food for those within and warehouses store the food in case of scarcity.
History
Melin-solei was originally founded by explorers and researchers seeking to investigate the mysterious Steelleaf Tree as a small outpost. As rumors spread of a singing tree deep in the northern woods of Euri'dor, musicians and storytellers made their way to the settlement, eventually overtaking the researchers in numbers and founding the Steelleaf Academy, the current largest Bard's College of Euri'dor.
Geography
The city is buried deep in the Del'jour Woodlands on mostly flat ground and near a large lake.
