Klothe

Part of the Tri-west alliance. The temporray alliance between the three cities is in the process of forming into a permanent union that would transform them into a regional kingdom.

Klothe is governed by two bodies. The Head Council that acts as the figurehead and primary leadership, and the Politeia which serves as voice of the people. Every ten years noble families vote on who will represent them on the Politeia. From there the Head Council is chosen by members of the Politeia. There is no maximum duration that a man or woman may serve on the Head Council or Politeia, so the only change in leadership occurs when the votes deem in necessary.

Port Klothe is ocated west of town. Cliffs run for miles north and south along the coast, so it is difficult for the city proper to directly access the ocean. To solve this, the port was built out of the base of the cliffs. It is only accessible through a wide winding staircase that cuts through the cliff. A number of cranes and pulley systems are used to quickly transport goods from the port up to the top of the cliffs.
