Sasserine

Sasserine, Fortress of Feathers, was built perched on top of the Eaglecliffs and on either side of the Feather River over 350 years ago.

The city lays on the coast of the Amedio Jungle, very close to its meeting with the Hellfurnaces mountain range, and about 200 miles north of Cauldron. Its nearest neighbor across Jeklea Bay is The Hold of the Sea Princes. Sasserine is built on a series of islands which make water travel through the town a vital link for intra-city trade, much like in the real-world city of Venice.

Sasserine was built to mimic the architectural style of the abandoned elvish castle, White Spires, the majestic marble castle left glittering in the countries west hills by the mystic elves before the humans first settled onto the land. Tropical Gardens, ponds, hanging baskets, flower boxes and lifelike statues add to the exotic beauty of the city. Tropical gardens and exotic plants grow between and even over the buildings. The streets are always swept and rubbish disposed of.

Small exotic food and goods markets are dotted about the city opening daily. Once a month the Kings Market is held with merchants from distant cities and lands selling and buying wares. Small churches ring their bells to gather peritonizes on Faithday and town criers call out the news of the kingdom and distant lands. Brilliantly coloured butterflies of all sizes and descriptions flutter about the city during the day. At dusk, families gather atop their rooftops, by their windows or in the city gardens waiting expectantly with handfuls of seed. At sunset from out of the surrounding jungles, flocks of tropical birds descend upon the city in a chorus of song, to join with the people. Great eagles sour down from the mountains to perch upon the Eaglespire Palaces marble towers, survey the city and feed upon the specially prepared meats left for them.
