Greycliffe

Greycliffe is the seat of government for the Duchy of the Red Peaks in the Oaken Duchies. Duke Mallion Greycliffe rules the land and has for some time - he is an old man near and there is concern in the land for he has no heir of his own blood. He must instead choose someone worthy and name him the heir. Greycliffe sits at the base of a large cliff of dark grey rocks at the northern edge of the Red Peaks mountain range. Greycliffe is the largest Oaken Duchies city near the Celestial Empire and as such is a common stop for travelers heading to visit the seats of the gods.

City Description
This small city is located in a rolling uplands region where the prominent geographical feature is a towering cliff with a sharp drop off and holds a population of approximately 22000. Located in a climate with sometimes warm and sometimes cool summers but always cold winters, this area experiences precipiation throughout the year but slightly less during the summer. Surrounding the locality are simple walls made of earth piled up to form mounds with 2 gates spread around the walls. The small city gets most of its water from either a single well, or a series of wells throughout the area and has a number of local features that distinguish it from its neighbors. The landmarks that set this place apart are military barracks and a command post of the nation's army, a giant stadium used for athletic competitions and a well-known red light district where just about any vice can be had for a price. Some of the major products from the small city are amethyst stones and rubies. Besides the government officials in charge, cities this large have more than one guild to contend with, and here The Association of Greycliffe Merchants and The Greycliffe Miners Society run the city. A few years ago, one of the deities of the world put on a display of their power that left the populace feeling cursed - bad feelings towards that deity still abound.
