Population
Approximately 4,800 in the inner city, plus about 4,000 more outside the city walls (1,000 of which are soldiers); Mostly mixed human and halfling. In recent years, though, many Orcs and Half-Orcs have made the city their home.
Government
Nargundush is ostensibly governed by an arcane sorcerer, a male halfling named Tunbald. He is a loyal follower of King Vyncent and allows the King to maintain a large militia in the city. However, he has significant opposition from the merchant guilds, and his power over the city has waned in recent years.
Notable Places
- The Cathedral of Eternal Light: An ornate terraced building, dedicated to the Asgardian pantheon of gods and goddesses.
- The Castle Ward: The home of Tunbald and his inner circle, along with the headquarters of the City Guard.
- North Docks: The largest docks in the city and the center of merchant shipping activity
- Glassquare: The administrative center of the shipping businesses, where the Harbormaster assigns docks and collects Tariffs.
- Night Docks: Another set of docks; cheaper and less reputable than the North Docks.
- “The Lake”: A large water repository adjacent to the Castle Ward. This lake is the main source of water for the city and is sourced from rainwater and springs with a magical enchantment to keep it full and fresh.
