Pinecliff (City)

Description
City in the Lion Kingdom founded by Pinecliff, that is the seat of the major house of Pinecliff

Geography
City is in the far north of the Lion Kingdom on the eastern portion of the pennisula of Lightmeadow. The city is landlocked but is very close by to the Northern Sea and has ports directly for the city.

City
The city is built in a valley at sea level where the surroundings raise up to make the cliffs, a fitting place given Pinecliff's name. He even created a light pine tree forest up on the cliffs for his namesake. The city is about a 20 to 30 minutes from the sea on foot, a beautiful road lined with pine trees to entire way. That road leads right into the city and became the main road. Lightmeadow is home to many Creatures that are very dangerous. Some live in caves in the side of the cliffs near the city that are most known to enter and terrorize the city from time to time.

Castle
Build a small, yet convenient castle near the water with a tower high enough to see the sea and the whole road leading to it. The sides of the caslte made of a dark stone, are constantly moist and cause for moss and vines to grow on the castle easily giving it a nice look. Lots of lively shops and taverns around with merchants always looking to buy and sell. There are more smaller roads off of the main road that are less lively but still have a large amount of action. City often sees a large amount of theft and is not dealt with effectively.

People
Pinecliffians (Cliffians) are a quiet people that keep to themselves. They work independently and are most effective that way. Citizens are generally very nice but it is best not to pester them or they will get very annoyed and shut you out.

Food
City runs very efficiently on the fishing and hunting that it gets as well as all the merchants that come through selling their goods. Farms are quite rare in Lightmeadow due to the very hot climate especially come summer time.

Army
The army raised in Pinecliff is relatively small but well trained. They know how to fight well, however tensions can rise within the ranks and there have known to be incidents when younger soldiers have been tossed on the Cliffs to their deaths, earning their name Pushed-Soldier Cliffs. The Navy is very small but has good ships and crewmen that know how to fight well. The beaches below became known as the Pushed-Soldier Beaches and are said to be haunted with ghosts of dead soldiers and Gerath Pinecliff.
