- Ben Clarke: A young mage in training who realised there was a lot of money to be made in creating magical scrolls and so he dropped out of school to start a business.

Feathers, Quills and Furs

- Radiant Cart. Tabaxi exotic animal trader in the Square. Tried offering one of our adventurers a flamingo and a spectator (with its eye stalks removed for safety).

Silverbeard's Fine Enchantables

Brankel Silverbeard: Dwarven magical items vendor however he was obtaining most of his wares from the constant caravan attacks. Though hje was an innocent patsy, he is on hard times now as his supply has dried up.

The Merchant’s Council: A conglomerate of merchants who together run all the trade and production in the city. Each trade has its own nominated head and are led by the Baron of Merchants.

- Sym Appleby: Former Baron of Merchants. Caught skimming money off the top of the insurance policies on all the Leodis caravans.

- Farondi Straklen: Former Treasurer of the Council. Farondi was the unwilling accomplice to Sym. This shorter than average dwarf has been let off rather lightly but she will never be able to hold a position on the Council again.

Century Square

Directly in the centre of Leodis.

The Barons' Court: The political seat of the city. Here the Barons meet the Earl on a weekly basis as well as holding trials and carrying out other similar duties.

Grey Hills

The seedier part of town. If you need a thief, a thug or a seamstress you’ve come to the right place.

The Whore’s Fourth: A grotty tavern and house of ill repute. The sign hanging above the door depicts 4 very happy looking men, one of whom appears to have just been for a long ride… Behind the bar is a bounty board but not an official government one, here you can find people hiring discreetly for any manner of jobs that the underbelly of society requires doing. If you understand Thieves Cant you can be sure there’ll be hidden messages on this board too.

- Thamash: The Half-Orc barkeep, even grottier looking than his pub.

Hedinglei

Set outside the city walls, this area is well stocked with pubs and is also home to the Mage’s Tower.

Otha’s Run: The route is lined with the following taverns, Wood-Elves, The 5 Horseshoes, The Old Inn, Headinglei Taps, Ark (no-one goes there, it’s too expensive), The Rack, The Golden Oak.

The Mage’s Tower, one of the old towers from the Age of Dragons, the king of the time refused to have the tower built inside the walls for fears of the magics being flung around. Now it is used to teach and hone the skills of mages of all levels. The tower has a dedicated floor for each school of magic as well as one of the largest repositories of magical books in the Ridings. The top floors are filled with apartments for the professors with the Barron getting the highest room. There are also an unknown number of basement levels that contain teleportation rooms and arcane prisons for unknown horrors and miscreant mages. One of the most interesting features of the tower is the elevators, permanent Tensor's Disks that can be operated my Mage Hand. The large campus also has many other buildings within the walls including many dorm rooms for those students who wish to stay on site, magical laboratories containing magics that are not safe to be experimented on within the Tower itself and a Magical Foundry which forges magical items for Mage Guild Members. Many of the magical items adventurers find in the local area in the hands of monsters or scavenged off the unfortunate dead, bare the mark of the Tower who will pay for their safe return.

Far-Flung the Quick, a Tabaxi: The Baron of Mages, high mage of the tower, and member of The Landed Barons of Leodis.

Dendrik Taylor the Extra-Planar Inviter Adept: Dendrik is the human master of Conjuration at the Mage Tower. Generally cordial he's a little bit forgetful and not entirely with it. Describes himself as a 'Demon Man', a 'Fey Man', an 'Elemental Man' and all other manner of summoned creature's man but he does struggle when it comes to people as shown when he got 3 traumatized young apprentices out of their rest beds just to talk to a group of adventures from the ORAG.
