 **San Briaforte** is a bustling [[orgs:​Theodovans|Theodovan]] city of over nine-thousand (9,000) people. The birthplace of the [[orgs:Five Gods]] religion and still the center of this religion. This city began as a forte built along the [[atlas:​Addar River]] during the [[atlas:​Ancient Theodova#​Warring States]] period. The fort fell and the region was abandoned. When the Theodovan civilization rose again the fort was rebuilt and manned again. Around the fort San Briaforte took shape. **San Briaforte** is a bustling [[orgs:​Theodovans|Theodovan]] city of over nine-thousand (9,000) people.

 +The fort has three large ballistae that command the river around the city. No traffic can pass by the city without being subject to their taxes. San Briaforte is the largest city on the Addar River so most boats will dock along the banks or piers providing the city a focking fee as well.

 The river that flows along the eastern shore of the [[#Scio Bluffs]], the Addar is a shallow, but swift, river that eventually merges with the [[atlas:​Kerrik River]] before emptying into the [[atlas:​Serpente Sea]]. The river bottom is silty, but the land is rocky enough the silt is only a few inches deep. Safe enough to walk along it can be difficult to navigate during the warm months as there are plenty of large rocks the river flows around. The river that flows along the eastern shore of the [[#Scio Bluffs]], the Addar is a shallow, but swift, river that eventually merges with the [[atlas:​Kerrik River]] before emptying into the [[atlas:​Serpente Sea]].

 +In 207 AH the city constructed three partial dams on the river. Each one forced water to flow into a deep catch basin. The basins are kept clear of fish and provide the city a quick water source easier than digging wells through the limestone.

 ===== Demographics ===== ===== Demographics =====
 +
 +The vast majority of the population are both [[orgs:​Theodovans]] and worship the [[orgs:Five Gods]], a minority religion among the Theodovans. Theodovan is the majority language and they use similar coinage.
  
  
 ===== Military ===== ===== Military =====
 +
 +The city council maintains forty (40 constables) active members of a constabulary along with twenty (20 soldiers) skilled soldiers who serve as officers during times of war. Each district is expected to raise a single militia unit comprised of eighty (80 footmen) men, or a cavalry auxiliary of twenty (20 horsemen) riders, or paid the wages of twenty mercenaries (20 mercenaries). The councils solders are broken into six groups of three to lead each unit. In addition the two remaining soldiers serve as tactical leaders.
 +
 +Should the district militias be raised the City Council will elect one of its own members to serve as proconsul over the army. Dispatched by the City Council and the blessing of the church they have the full support of the city.
  
  
 ===== Religion ===== ===== Religion =====
 +
 +Worship of the [[orgs:Five Gods]] is the only allowed religion. The orc and goblin tribal religions are overlooked if they keep to their own part of the city.
  
  
 ===== Economy ===== ===== Economy =====
  
- +The economy is heavily dependent upon the money brought by the thousands of pilgrims who visit the Cathedral each year as well as attend the walking of the trail through [[#​Seratotta]]. The few grains produced feed the people of the city.

 +In addition to drawing pilgrims the brothers and sisters of the clergy are encouraged to travel to cities and lands far from their center of power. Thy are to bring with the the word of the duality and divine. It is not a religion tolerated well by the religions already established.
 +
 +Militarily they are a passive city with little to be gained by adding the lands of their neighbors.
  
  
 ===== Culture ===== ===== Culture =====
  
 +Life revolves around the clergy in the city. Each plurality of the city has an oversized effect on its rulership.
