Urmin

Urmin is a former border city of Alaezia and now the capital of the New Senate. It is home to the 4 master chapters. It was chosen because of its high walls and importance as a trade stop-off point between Baltaria and the south, garnering large profits from ship repairs, spice trade and glass trade. The city's ship repair business has since declined, leaving several industrial parts deserted or semi-criminal. The New Senate employs a Thieve's Guild (which is not a senatorial guild) to keep order in these parts of the city. The spice and glass trades have shrunk, somewhat, but are now subsidised by donations from the guilds. Other, more illicit trades have proven to be more profitable for some corrupt parts of the guilds.

Famous features are:

The statues of the 20 founders of the New Senate, 5 of which have been defaced and not yet replaced. Their bases have been planted with creeper plants and flowers and allowed to be overgrown.

The Colossus of Urmin, actually a 10-foot tall bronze statue of a merman. Reputed to be disappointing.
