Stone, Steel, and Flowing Gold: City Built on River’s Ambition
Stone bridges arch over rushing water, their foundations worn smooth by time and trade. The river cuts through the city like a vein of purpose—its currents swift, its depths unknowable. Markets bustle along the banks, where coin flows as easily as gossip, and the clang of forges echoes across alleys thick with ambition.
But beneath the gilded facades and stonework pride lies a more dangerous current. Deals are struck in shadow, fortunes undone by a single turn of the tide. Power shifts with each shipment that docks, and those who rise do so knowing the river brings opportunity—but also pulls hard when it turns against you.
Where coin flows fast and nothing stays afloat for long.
