Bron

Bron is the capital city of the country of Clar-Ami. The royal family resides in this city and controls the rest of the country from its seat. Bron is the only city in Clar-Ami that does not have a Duke or Duchess ruling it, a the King and/or Queen acts in that role.

"Bron had been designed millennia ago--its organic and seemingly haphazard shape was telling of this. Though, in the discord lay pattern.

The city was divided into districts by hundreds of concentric, somewhat-circular streets, called ‘rings’: inner, middle, outer, and the two market rings. Within and between the rings were thousands more connecting streets, alleyways and the kinds of well-trodden pathways that had emerged out of convenience rather than careful planning.

The outermost rings were the poorest parts of the city where the baseborns took up residence. Small shanties lined the long streets there, hardly able to hold themselves up against the harsh winds that blew in from the Sarili sea.

In Bron, traveling inward meant moving up in society. Houses and establishments grew progressively more well-kept the further one ventured into the city. Closest to the center were the famed market rings. While many taverns and inns were speckled throughout the rest of the city, the inner and outer market rings were flush with businesses of all kinds. One could purchase a set of windchimes made from human teeth at one shop, then go right next door for a pastry. There was a vendor for anything one could imagine, provided one also had the coin to pay for it. Then, looming over everything at the center of it all were the Ceidse. A ring of seven massive statues--obelisks, really--each one differing slightly in size and shape. They were said to represent the seven Alluvion: champions chosen by the gods in the year 4382 to kill the demon King, Norinn, and the champion he controlled. The Alluvion were as mysterious as they were awe-inspiring; their identities were as obscure as the obelisks that memorialized them. Now, they were simply part of the scenery, overgrown with vines and moss, well-weathered by time."
