Barrensburg

Barrensburg is the capital and largest city in Southern Goneril and is the country's only major warm-water port. It has a large population but a relatively small landmass, leading to extreme population density problems and extremely poor living conditions in certain areas. It is a walled city, with heavy fortification to the north along the X'i River and the Brogan River. It is ruled by the lich Queen Rebecc-is of Goneril.

Districts
Barrensburgs is a very large metropolitan city divided into several districts.

Queen's Center
At the center of Barrnsburg is the Ruling Tower, where Queen Rebecc-is of Goneril rules her empire. This large tower is the highest point in the city, and allows a person at the top to see easily everything around the city for the range of up to several hundred miles on a clear day. It is a tactical district, but also the location of the Barrensburg Palace Market. The docks around this point of the river are the most expensive in the city due to their location, and are often rented by the hour for loading and unloading purposes only. Troops, which bear the unique markings of the queen, rally in the Campus Hextor.

Old Pantheon
Old Pantheon District, located just below the Brogan River in East Barrensburg, is a funky neighborhood built on the ancient temples to the forgotten gods. It is known for it's unique restraunts, musical venues, curiosity shops, and natural healing joints. Much of this town consists of permanent or semipermanent tents arranged around the central temple. Since traditonal religeon is outlawed, there are frequent raids by the town guards.

West Docks Town
West Docks Town is located for tax purposes just outside the boarder of the city. It is a resort community for the very rich and anonymous, located just a scant three miles from the city limits. The docks here are extremely expensive, but capable of fixing any ship of any size. The principle purpose of this area is to provide a nice place to stay for members of the ruling class outside of Queen's Center. The most expensive hotel, Barron's Retreat, provides a private villa with sea access, a private beach, complimentary Heroes Feasts, an open bar, stables, a gymnasium, a magic isolation chamber, a private library, and access to a troupe of servants, tailors, smiths, and bards. The price is unlisted.

West Barrensburg Slums
The West Barrensburg Slums (sometimes called Baittown) is one of the poorest areas on the continent. Constantly stricken with plague and hunger, baittownies often join the brutal, inhumane armies of South Goneril simply to escape their life there.

X'i River
The X'i River is a brown water river. It is personified by X'ichora, a chubby, wrathful water goddess who is the patron god to ooze creatures and changelings. Worshipers show their devotion to her by throwing their trash in her waters.

Brogan River
The Brogan River is a green water river, which provides the city's fresh water and much of it's port shipping. It is personified by Brogan Triumpant, a buff, manly-man water god known equally for his acts of strength and his love of alcohol. He is the patron god of brewers and distillers. Poluting his waters with anything but grain is blashphemous, though intoxicated worshipers often urinate in him to show their devotion.
