Jesu City

Around year 114, men and women gathered around the huge lake that took up 20% of Ermith’s size. The Long River ran from north to south and emptied out into this giant lake and the lake emptied out into the southern sea. It was the perfect location for a city. The lake was called Jesu, an elven word for “Water.” Thus Jesu City would be the City of Water.

The humans used magic to suspend bridges of wood over the water and summoned stone pillars from the lakebed to rise and support their construction. At first, the city was small, but it quickly grew to be the largest city on the continent and the center for all trade within and without. In this age, the year 1024, the city remains large but was eclipsed long ago by the capital, Nolathan, in size and population.

At the center of the city sits the castle. There resides the viscount, a lord of the city to rule over and judge the citizens in place of the King. The castle has seven towers to breach the heavens and can be seen from anywhere in the city. From the center the cobblestone roads branch out like a spiderweb. The main roads are longer and thicker. Each main road is connected by bridges and water flows naturally through these waterways.

On the eastern side of the city are the docks. Heavy stone walkways provide a path above the water level. The water from the waterways empties out through gates all around the city edge. Wooden platforms and stairs and piers lead out into a vast array of ships both personal and military. Large and small ships can be seen on the horizon at any time, sails at half-mast and drifting along to protect the city from unwanted visitors. The other side of the lake cannot be seen by the naked eye, due to the vastness of the lake.

On the western side of the city, the streets are narrower and the homes are built side by side and tend to be narrow on the inside as well. There are no poor in Jesu, not to the volume of other cities like Yvondale or Nolathan. The east is also where the bridge connecting the city to the mainland lies. Its girth is enough to fit three horse-driven carriages side-by-side, and its length takes three descents of the sun (1.5 hrs) to cross.

The northern half of the city is where many craftsmen take residence. The homes build along this side of the city are large and far apart, a symbol of wealth in Jesu is owning one of these homes. Auza was born to a carpenter family on the north side. After her father died she was kicked out into the streets by the viscount. The family home remains empty to this day.

The southern side of the city is where the merchants take residence. Throughout the city are large, circular platforms where traveling merchants can set up shop for the days and sell useful or useless materials. The docks are home to the fish market, though the smell reaches every corner of the city. The merchant homes on the south end sell trades and businesses. Also on the south side is the cathedral – a large and very old castle of white stone where Ermith’s religious cult lies. These men are in command of a greater army, the Purifiers, and use them to watch over the mages who are also housed on the south end in their temple.

The buildings in Jesu City are wide in variety and most allow moss and vines to grow from their thatched roofs. In the spring and summer, white and violet flowers bloom along the moss and vines, making the city shine. Most of the richer homes do not allow the moss or vines to grow at all.
