City of Watersedge

Located in the Kingdom of Talir in the Land of Westrun, Watersedge is the capital city of that realm.

The chief export of Watersedge is fine furniture, but trade also flourishes in the lemons and oranges planted around Talir, plus the processing of sugar cane into molasses, sugar and Talirean Wine -- brown, gold and white. Watersedge is also a principal market for eel, crawfish, shrimp and alligator -- all of which are brought in by rural fishermen.

As a port city, the walls of Talir extend into the sea and terminate at two massive statues of the ancient gods Utunos and Heiniko, god of the sun and the god of the sea respectively. These statues tower some 100 feet into the air. Utunos holds aloft a giant ball which provides a beacon of light for ships to navigate by. Heiniko holds aloft a massive net which is hooked by gears and pulleys to a net of chains which will close the harbor (if necessary) by erecting an impassable barrier about four feet above the waves. For this reason Watersedge is often sought by sailors fleeing the Northruner amd Hayao predations.

It is both a massive port city and a bureacrat's dream.  It has a detailed system of laws and is widely known for its regulations covering nearly every facet of its citizens, residents and visitors lives. These categories of people are very different from one another and the differences are strictly observed in Watersedge. As the capital of Talir, a theocracy, citizenship is restricted to members of the church, and public office may only be held by members of the clergy. Residents who are not citizens are considered second-class and enjoy a higher cost of living, but still thrive in the city's reputation for safety, security and cleanliness.

Watersedge is home to Stafon Strathurst, King of Talir who is also the High Priest Elect of the Supreme Holy Council. Additionally it is home to Magister Leomund, as well as the Sages Artemor, Hocequin, Kosel, Rihodor.
