Points of Interest
Ti̽n-nragbö Qo̠ is a major trade hub, connecting several important cities or resource production areas. It’s probably at an important river juncture, ancient crossroads, or occupying the only safe path through some perilous wilderness. Its position may be important enough that it can survive on trade alone, despite being unable to feed itself with the surrounding land. Such hubs are usually heavily garrisoned by the lord who profits from their tariffs and taxes.
Ti̽n-nragbö Qo̠'s roads were poorly made when first laid. Rather than repairing them correctly, a series of new roads was laid atop the old, leading to the streets of modern Ti̽n-nragbö Qo̠ suffering from potholes, cracking, and even sinkholes. The locals often repair the road by putting down wooden decking.
