Hanton

Hanton is a north-eastern city state on the continent of Sorel. It is known as the business and trade center for the continent, despite its peripheral location, and is home to many of the wealthiest merchants and nobles. Towards the mainland, the major industry is fishing. Its climate is generally warm and temperate, with sandy beaches and cliffs on the peninsula and grassy or swampy areas towards the mainland.

Hanton City
"Hanton is, for lack of a better comparison, the city of lights. It’s close to tropical in summer in this part of the continent and the people and buildings reflect that--sprawling, brightly-colored estates and neon-painted department stores, open air bazaars and colorful robes draped over every well-groomed body. Some of the rooftops are literally gilded and are almost blinding in the sun. Delicate willow trees and yellow-green succulents are kept in carefully designed beds and medians, providing shade to the fancy people below.""Gold and jewels glimmer on nearly every available spot, and they’re reflected by the city’s hallmark: stained glass. Huge mosaics shine in every window, glass canopies cast fragments of shifting color on the ground below, even the white stone streets have a rainbow of tiny squares embedded in their surface. Even in the less well-to-do parts of the city, windchimes of shattered stained glass hang in empty window frames and discarded glass is often fashioned into rough jewelry. Far in the distance, you can see the glimmer of the sea behind the towering palace."
