• City life in Verth

  'Verth' is both the name of the Island, and the main City on the Island. The island itself is not very large, in all truth - The main city covers a radius of five Miles, and is visible from every portion of the island. There is a small population outside the city, fishermen, less wealthy sailors, and travelling merchants can be found here. The outer hamlets are not as extravagant as the homes within the city walls, yet they are peaceful, and humble. Less than half the population lives outside the walls, in the seaside hamlets, and on the ports.
  
  Within the city, is just as peaceful, but not as calm. Due to high population density, they have chosen to build up, instead of out. A great many of the locals live within small communal villas, two to four stories tall. The space they live in is usually enough to fit three people comfortably, thus the average child per couple is only one.
  
  Ever moving, ever changing, always taking in new imports, and exporting expensive wines, and more salt than any other city, life in Verth is fast paced, and easy for anyone willing to put in a little effort.
  
  There are not many who would be considered poor, on the island. Most of the residents are land owning, with the exception of some of the sailors who simply live aboard the lesser known merchant class ships. There is a high density of upper class, that live near, or in the citadel.
