The City of Corvis, the «City og Ghosts»
Population: 100,000 (85% human, 10% Rhulic, 1% Ios or Nyss, 4% Trollkin, ogrun and gobbers)
Founded: nearly 900 years ago along the delta of the Dragon’s Tongue and the Black River in the marshy swamp lands of Greater Cygnar.
Layout: Due to space restriction in the city of Corvis has built upward rather than outward. Several times the city has sunk into the surrounding swamplands. Down at the street level, list in the mists (10-50% concealment) are the stones of Old Corvis. Built on top of them are the spires of New Corvis-home to the merchant elite. In between are the homes and shops of the regular folks, and it’s all connected by a maze of ramps, bridges, canals and tunnels.

10 The Quad & Merchant’s Bourg
Near the center of the city is a large cobblestone clearing over 100 yards on a side. The Quad is usually packed with merchants, and it’s a popular spot for both tourists and natives of Corvis. Many of the river merchants will set up shop here for a few days before moving on, so there is always something new to see. At night the Quad slows down, but it does not stop. About half the merchants will stay open, and often the wares for sale change on the sun sets.
The Corvis watch takes their peacekeeping duties very seriously especially in the Quad and the rest of the merchant’s bourg
Garworth’s
Tucked away in a misty corner of the merchant’s bourg, Garworth’s is known as one of the finer arcane emporiums in the city catering to local wizards, alchemists, and arcane mechanics.

18 Order of the Holden Crucible

19 Merchants Guild
Without a doubt, this is the most powerful Guild in the city. No cargo enters of leaves the city without passing through Guild-affiliated bands. Guildsmen own most of the docks. Guild ware-houses store cargo. Guild elders make large contributions to city elections –and so on. The Guild can can stop nearly all trade in Corvis to further its political agenda, and it has done so in the past. Its said that some that the membership fees the Guild collects are barely enough to pay off all the crooked city officials they need to bribe to maintain their system. This may be true, but the Merchants Guild Gall is still the most opulent structure in Corvis, surpassing even City Hall. It’s important to note that the Merchants Guild is not concerned with membership for every “mom and pop” store in the city. Their primary interest lies in business-to-business transactions -that is where the big money changes hands, and the Guild has made sure they will always get their cut. All the major import/export houses are Guild shops, and their by-laws dictate that they only do major business with other Guildsmen. A small but fanatic group of merchants has eschewed Guild membership. Occasionally they can offer items for less than Guild shops will charge, but patronizing these merchants is risky. Being blacklisted by the Merchants Guild will result in prices mysteriously rising in many shops.
