Frihet City

Sep 19, 20244 min read

Frihet City is quite sizable, full of business and trade ferried across the Frihet lake along the Frihet and Zìyóu rivers towards Morus in Zoher, Twin Lakes in Zyclest, and Waterhelm in Helva. Overall an extremely mercantile city, it is one of the wealthiest places in all of the Shen Dynasty. Despite its commerce related success the locals of Frihet City remain surprisingly dour. Not even two decades ago the capital of the Shen Dynasty was officially changed by the Shen family from Frihet City to Vulkud, ripping an important piece of pride from the financially powerful city. This left a hole in the heart of the people of the city that continues to persist to this day. Gnomes are prone to keeping grudges thanks to their dark history and the people of Frihet City display this behavior to the fullest.

Sub-prefectures

Frihet city is broken up into 6 sub-prefectures, each hosting a guard house and detail lead by a Head Officer.

Great Docks

A large span of docks on the western side of the lack just beneath the mouth of the Jianbo River.
A number of successful businesses have warehouses or headquarters here. Such real-estate is highly coveted and makes for much of internal political drama.

East Docks

Several more scattered docks on the north shore of Frihet Lake. Smaller and more sparse than the Great Docks but still host many ships, some simply waiting for a spot at the Great Docks to open up.

Old City

A large swath of land surrounding the Fu Clan Palace, dedicated to servants, and extended relations.

Frihet Market

A mixture of businesses both mercantile and residential. Almost any traditional goods can be found here, including some more exotic items like Spider Silk textiles and imported potion materials. Some of the shops are listed below:

This sub-prefecture has grown the most over the cities life time and as it sprawls westerly it also hosts the Frihet City Silver Sword Chapter’s buildings, residences, and several alters to different deities.

West Gate

Rows and rows of tightly packed houses, taverns and Xībao1 that expand out from the western gate encompass this largely residential area up until it collides with the Jianbo River and the Frihet Gate sub-prefecture. The close streets, alleys, and space near water with little docking makes for the perfect habitat of those seeking asylum from the law. Urchin pick pockets, grifters, fortune tellers, the flash of a thief’s knife, and below it all: The Underground.

Frihet Gate

The smallest sub-prefecture, hemmed in by the tightly packed blocks of the West Gate, and the sprawling warehouses of the Great Docks. Frihet Gate is a bustling center of foreign trade bureaucracy.

Fu clan palace.
