Harzo

Harzo (pronounced: /haɾzoː/ HAR-zoh), also known natively as Freeport, or Pfiskeuerfaire (pronounced: /fɪskoʏɐfɐ/ fis-KOY-a-fair), or by the moniker the Windless City, was formerly the capitol city of the Four Great Human Kingdoms and the only one of them still standing.

Geography
Dolomar was built upon the River Basilica next to a lake where the first Black Door was found. Using the power of the Black Door, their alliance with the Greys, and the rich iron and emerald mines of Mt. Hava, the city soon became a powerhouse that could not be ignored by the tribes of the Dolomari Heartlands.

Government
Dolomar was ruled by 10 High Lords comprised of two delegates from each of the Fingers. These delegates would be chosen by the Court on the Mount, a supposedly neutral council of Aasimar and Tiefling monks who made the final decisions on who would rule the city and nation.

Law and Order
The City Watch was the local police force and in addition to capturing criminals, its members settled petty disputes, gave directions, summoned medical and priestly aid, generally performing duties that promoted the idea that Dolomar was a city open to all who knew how to behave themselves.

Crime
Crime exists in Dolomar, but not too much.

Trade

 * The Western Moor-Road, the trade route to the west.

Defenses

Guilds
It was said that the Lords ruled Dolomar but did not truly run it. This was quite true, in that there were a number of other factions who made up Dolomar. The most noticeable were the guilds—powerful merchant and craft organizations that controlled much of the life-blood of the city.

Nobility
The most prominent members of Dolomarian society were the nobility related to the High Lords and their kin.

Merchants
Third, a rising merchant class existed outside the standard guilds. These were caravan and coster operators, and they used Waterdeep as a destination for their caravan goods. More shops offered a variety of different goods because of this growing group. The most notable of these new merchants was the retired adventurer Alexia Somethingorother, who established a magical retail organization to supply a wide number of patrons across the West with specialized items.

Adventurers
A large host of adventurers flooded the city at any given time. Some established themselves as citizens of good standing and remained permanently, while others drifted off for other climes or met their ends in back-alley brawls. Mostly, only adventurers of high standing or with good connections could even enter the city, let alone do business there. Nevertheless, a thriving hub of mercenary groups and secret societies looking to influence the city and make some money has established itself in the city. There is no official adventurer's guild of any kind, as adventuring is not a profession. The Magisterium often has tasks for those willing to risk the dangers, though.

Culture
Given its size and influence, Dolomar was a cosmopolitan city with a diverse population of citizens. While humans comprised the majority of its populace, it was home to large number of elves, predominantly high elves, humans, lightfoot halflings, half-elves and gnomes.

Fashion
Dolomari culture called for a sort of minimized display of status when it came to the clothes one would wear. While all manner of dress could be seen on the city streets, guild members would only don their livery when conducting official business or meetings, during important holidays or while on ventures outside Waterdeep proper. Nobles would only display their crests or coat-of-arms in subtle affectations, such as a signet ring or other understated jewelry, while their servants wore clothes that were fully emblazoned with their house heraldry.

Religion
Dolomar had a huge variety of faiths, and the odds were that if a deity was worshiped somewhere in Kemal, it had at least a follower (or likely a wandering priest or two, and maybe a shrine) in the City of Light.

The city was the central hub of the Constructed Magisterium, the largest religious organization in Kemal.

Transportation
Dolomar was characterized by its broad and busy streets and boulevards. Its heavy traffic, a constant during all day and most of the night, was monitored by the traffic wardens of the City Watch. The streets were kept well maintained and signaled by the Scriveners', Scribes', and Clerks' Guild, who manufactured and installed labels and signs in all intersections.

Public transportation was available in Dolomar through several options:


 * Drays were large, two-floored collective carriages that held a large number of seats and traveles through preset trajectories along the main boulevards. Fares varied between 2 and 4 nibs.
 * Hire-coaches were two-wheeled, two-seat carriages that could be called and dispatched to specific locations. Hire-coach drivers roamed the city streets in search for passengers, who could call a free coach with a shout. Fares, agreed upon in advance, rarely exceeded 6 shards.
 * Carriages were luxury vehicles that could accommodate up to 8 passengers comfortably. Prices varied, but usually carriages and their respective drivers and servants were hired for an entire day
