Libidizedd

Description

Libidizedd is a prosperous trading city located on an island at the northern end of the great central sea of Dwilight.  It has a warm pleasant climate.  Due to it's central position on the trading routes, the city is a hotbed of intrigue, with domestic and foreign spies, diplomats and assassins all vying for advantage.

The people are a garrulous, olive skinned race, who pride themselves as inheritors of the high culture of earlier civilizations. They feel superior to peoples of less sophistication. Although religion features prominently in public life, they have a liberal culture given to debating, philosophy, local democracy, poetry and play writing. They also have a strong martial culture in defense of their city. Fitness and martial skills are encouraged in the young. There is a tradition of settling matters of honor through duels.

The city is located on the northern shore of the island, and has a natural harbor opening into the Cobalt Gulf. The western shore of the harbor is a tall, sheer cliff, while the eastern shore has gentle sloping cliffs leading to sandy beaches. Several piers extend into the harbor to provide mooring. The city is well protected in all directions by strong walls and towers. The harbor being guarded by a heavy chain that can be raised to seal the entrance and by towers bearing artillery to ward of any enemy fleet. To the south of the city walls lie farming estates producing wheat, olives, grapes, lemons, oranges and dairy produce.

Trade is the lifeblood of the city. Many commoners work in sea or trade related professions, but there is also an industry to service the pilgrims who flock to the city, while other workers tend the farming estates or quarry the cliffs for white limestone.
