King's Landing

Overview

King's Landing is the major trade town in the County of Kingsfall, located where the Atsali River joins the Castella River, occupying both the north and south banks. The town is well fortified, prosperous, and guards a trade bridge to the western side of the Castella. A cynical observer might say it seems a little too prosperous, but the rest of Kingsfall does not seem to be suffering in comparison.

Population

King's Landing has a population between seven and eight thousand, with the usual mix of two-thirds human, and one third other races. Halvelings, Dwarves, and Keshanti are common, while Elves and Lizardfolk are exceedingly rare.

Economy

The economy of King's Landing is driven by trade: most of the goods leaving Kingsfall pass through the town, as does anything going up and down the Trade Road. Most of the farmland around the town is dedicated to non-grain vegetable crops and mid to small scale animal husbandry (pigs down through chickens). Beef, dairy, and grain are generally carted in.

Governance

Kingsfall is ruled by Baroness Leucrotta, who in turn owes fealty to Count Rhebus. She tries to not interfere in the commerce of the town: if you seem to be paying an appropriate level of taxes in proportion to your business activities, she's happy. The minor nobles and gentry of the town are largely linked to the major trade concerns.
