Epic Commoner
I realized I have all these cites and towns and what not from many different campaings and I don't have them written down anywhere. So here I go.
Dracanor - Metropolis Human City. Ruled by a a single king with many nobles and minor nobles surrounding the country side. This the "typical" D&D big city. I just liked the name.
Tel Rimeth - Ancient Elf/Human City. Ruled by Mages. City skyline is dotted with towers. At night some of the towers have strange glows coming from the windows. The town is ruled by the mages for the mages. They will not stop a necromancer from learing his trade as long as it doesn't effect the status quo (no undead roaming the streets, no kidnapping citizens for research) This would be town were a group of adventured need to go for any magic items or spells.
Safeport - Former pirate port but after many years has gone resepctable, sort of. Anything can be bought here. Blackmarket items are a little harder to come by but are available for the right price. The city is ruled by a Tribunal, 1 from selected by the guilds, 1 Selected from the people and 1 from the Noble families. In my game the people took elections seriously, the guild chose a person every 4 years (not a prestigous post) and the nobles found it tiresome. The basic alignment of the town is C/G bording on C/N. As long as you pay taxes and don't get caught, everything was fine.
The Sharn Empire -Capital - Alnaron- This was the oldest city in my old game. A huge sprawling city of 1 million people located in the desrt on the banks of a large river right on the sea coast as well. Very prosperous and technologically and magically advanced. This is the city where I had gunpowder orginate from. They also developed the knowledge on how to build portals (from Forgotten Realms). There magic rivaled the elves.
The Empire was ruled by 5 member Council. It was never known who would be chosen or when. The post was for life. The little secret was The Sharn Empire was actually ruled by Sharn. Sharn was a powerful Archmage Lich who was alive when the city was founded. This Empire was the main enemy in my game.
Well thats all I can think of for now. Feel free to steal any ideas.
