Gethsemene

Description

The port city of Gethsemene, or 'Goathsemene' is the jewel of the north coast on Beluaterra. Compared to the frigid wastes further east it is balmy in comparison and is a very hospitable and pleasant gathering place for the peasants of the surrounding regions to bring their produce to market. Gethsemene is built around a natural harbor and boasts some of the best seafood available anywhere on the continent. The surrounding regions of Fikman, Sniika and Baqua produce quantities of Rice and wheat that are the envy of many a region and help to feed the entire realm. Gethsemene is also home to the greatest goat market on the continent, both goats and their manure are sold here in all sizes and shapes.
The city walls are build on top of ancient fortifications that are rumored to use water and ventilation holes to make the climate within the city both warm in winter and cool in summer.

The old palace on the south west edge of the city is located on the largest hill in the area, next to the Palace a large temple area has been build dedicated to the Great Herd. The temple brews one of the best Gotland goat ale in the continent and offers among the purest dried goat droppings to its followers.

Goats roam freely throughout the city and thanks to Lord Ballantine many of its inhabitants have their own wagons, however everything has to make way for a goat in every traffic situation. It's usually quicker to go by foot or better, goat cart, the law however does not dictate giving way for the cart, just the goat.
This often leads to complicated situations which makes traffic in Gethsemene a difficult and uncomfortable experience.
Most houses or buildings have a place to drink and eat for the roaming goats in the city.
Goat manure left on the streets is claimable by all and many private enterprises specialize on collecting street dung to process into inferior products. They are highly popular however, among the common folks of the city.
