Shinnen

Description

Shinnen is the smallest city sitting on the coast of the Euschean Sea. The city is tightly-packed, always making use of its space - buildings tightly packed, mostly semi-detached, though otherwise usually with only a small distance between. Many buildings are at least two storeys tall, and the taller and otherwise larger the building is, the bigger badge of wealth and renown it is. Copperstone is the most reputable building in Shinnen, overlooking the city with its almost imposing facade of dark grey stone and copper adornments. 

The architecture of the city can vary from a simple white sandstone design with an orange, tiled roof with a few windows at its front and a square door, all the way to what is almost a palace; several front doors, engravings in the sandstone to depict a pattern (often an animal or a family crest) with multi-storey windows, tall pillars and spires rising from the main of their home. Many homes lacking large gardens caused green-thumbed residents to take up gardening on their roofs in small garden balconies, or even on their roofs. This practice has extended to some of the wealthier citizens, who already have vast gardens with decorative hedges and an abundance of space. 

The culture of resourcefulness has extended well into the culture of Shinnen, with Brightstone Academy being the pinnacle of education within the immediate area. It houses and organises trainers of all fields of work, built in an octagonal building with a vast number of wings. While it is arguably too complicated, it ensures only the information needed is provided. With its vast variety of classes even open to commoners studying swordfighting, whatever you earn, it's the place to learn. 

A notable spot is the monument for The Confederacy of Luria, which united the Lurian realms at that time. Shinnen was promised to become a great city within Greater Luria. The monument is regularly cleaned and is a reminder to all.

Statues and Monuments

Statue to Wassgandr Felsenbach in Gotz Fortress

A statue made from the local red stone that has been polished to a mirror finish stands in the city square. Depicted is Imperial Marshal Wassgander Felsenbach in armor. His face is a grimace of battle rage and strain as he swings his mighty axe down with both hands. One foot stands upon a dead Zuma daimon. Before him is another daimon with fear on its face as it recognizes the blow that will end its life. 

— erected by Margrave Elias Calder of Luria Nova
