Tamerea City

Capital of the Tamerea Empire, set on the shores and surface of Lake Tamerea. Population 150,000, primarily human (80% human, 10% gnome, 5% dwarf, 5% other). Tamerea is not a single walled city but a collection of distinct centers ringing the lake. In the northwest, The Rush sits at the rivermouth that feeds the lake, servicing the lumber, rock, and goods shipped down the river along the mountain trade routes. In the east, Brightport connects the city to the fertile eastern farmlands that provide most of its food and livestock. In the south, Black Channel carries the lake's runoff down to the sea; the river runs fastest here and carries most of the dirt and grime, and the city's poorest sections are found there. At the center of the lake, artificial islands hold the administrative centers and the islands of wealth. Access to the lake is controlled chiefly at the mouth of each river, though the city also maintains and guards the shore.
