Message: <blockquote data-quote="Silver Moon" data-source="post: 511442" data-attributes="member: 8530">Communities near MengaleThe following describes two of the three communities that trade with Mengale:Larivaswen:   This mostly elvan ommunity is located just a few miles away from the northeastern road into Mengale.   It has a population of approximately 1,600, and their primary focus is agriculture, with miles of lush fertile plains of wheat and grains, as well as sheep and goat farms.   A group of gnomes also tend apple and pear orchards near the town.  Larivaswen provides a significant amount of the food consumed by the people of Mengale. This farming town was originally settled 1,200 years ago, at the time of “The Betrayal”, by Mengale elves that did not agree with the new restrictions placed by the High Lords and Ladies.  These elves did not want to forever cut themselves off from family and friends of Mengale.    In the time since the Larivaswen people have become disheartened by the stoicism that present Mengale has become.  They see their small community as their former Kingdom’s only hope of reestablishing relations with the outside world.   Larivaswen also has a bardic and art school, where they preserve and teach the music and artistic culture that was banned in Mengale.    From its founding this school has attraced students of all races.  Over the centuries these charismatic artists and bards have helped the elves of Larivaswen become far more accepting of other races that their Mengale counterparts. Penthathigon and Luynn:  The wide river flowing south out of Mengale, which runs parallel the southern road, goes for twenty miles before it reaches the sea at the port cities of Pentathigon and Luynn.   Humans comprise approximately 70% of the population of these cities, with the remainder being an even mix of all other common humanoid races. Pentathigon is the name of a large island situated at the mouth where the river flows beside a large penninsula out to sea.   This was the original city, surrounded by a well defended wall.   Three bridges connect Pentathigon to the penninsula.   The ancient walled city has a population of only 3,750.   The Luynn Penninsula is much larger, and its city has a population of approximately 15,000 people.  While each city has its own City Lord and own governmental structure, the two communities often think of themselves as one combined city, and most maps of the area only list the original Penthathigon name. The city of Pentathigon has 2 castles; 1 government building; 6 inns; 4 brothels; 1 craft guild; 2 churches; 2 shipyards; 1 magic shop; 1 bank; 2 trade bazaars; 1 leathershop; 3 armorers; 3 furriers; 1 stonecutter; 3 fishmongers; 1 blacksmith; 3 weavers; 2 breweries; 2 glassblowers; and 3 food warehouses.The city of Luynn has 4 castles; 3 government buildings; 12 inns; 15 brothels; 1 craft guild; 9 churches; 7 shipyards; 4 magic shops; 4 banks; 9 trade bazaars; 4 leathershops; 6 armorers; 7 furriers; 2 stonecutters; 5 fishmongers; 2 blacksmiths; 8 weavers; 4 breweries; 34 glassblowers;  7 food warehouses; 3 winerys; 2 butchers; 3 tailors; 5 mills; 3 jewelers; 2 potters; 1 alchemist; 1 cartographer; and 1 college.   The college is for scholars of all races, and has an extensive research library.</blockquote>
