The City Of Summerset



The City of Summerset is the regional capital of The County Of Summerset, as well as the headquarters from where the Royal Armed Forces of Reach operate.

The city is divided into seven one-hundred-foot high levels, each surrounded by white walls, except the first walls which is bade out of black granite. The gates connecting the levels do not lay behind one another in a line, but faced in different directions. A spur of rock, whose summit was level with the city's uppermost tier, jutted out from the front of the city in an easterly direction, dividing all but the first level into two. Each level was scattered with many alleys, and full-fledged houses. On the sixth level the Houses of Healing is located, surrounded by pleasant gardens. Finally, within the seventh wall, was the Citadel of Summerset, with the Tower of Summerset - three hundred feet high, so that its apex was one thousand feet above the plain.

The city, exempt being more built like a fort, and many guard houses, Gendarmerie stations, and the such along the walls that protect the city. The city also has a extremely well built infrastructure network, with almost all roads being cobbled or Cement. Water is drawn from inside the mountain it covers, supplying the entire city, with piping and aqueducts giving water to all the households, and public works. This in turn is supported by a equally well built, developed and maintained sewer system, that with the help of gravity keeps the city clean, letting the waste out into a huge underground basin, where the water evaporates back into the mountain with time, and what remains is slowly incorporated into the dirt. This basin is believed to have been built in the earliest days of the Ashen Empire, as it is built deep beneath the ground, and yet it is the size of a large lake, able to hold the waste from the ever increasing population with ease.

Maintenance, and further construction of this infrastructure network, just like it is in the rest of the region, is handled by the Summerset Civilian Department of Water, Sewage and Roads
