The Goldshirean Cartography Society

The land of rolling green hills and precious yellow metal, as old as Shireroth itself. Often abolished, never demolished. Home of the Golden Bull. Still smells faintly of cats.

Moderators: (Shireroth) Steward, (Shireroth) Kaiser, (Shireroth) Duke of Goldshire

[spoiler]CITIES/TOWNS OF SUTHERGOLD

Kingsgate
Built under Count R. Everstone's reign and by the will of Cortallia, Kingsgate is located where the White Elwynn River meets Kingsweep Crossing. It is beneath this city where all Tunnels of Suthergold intersect and most Goldshirian/non-Goldshirian delegations are held. Lying within a massive wall of dense marble may be seen countless buildings of gold and white and an intricate, yet efficient, road-system on which tens of thousands of Suthergoldian automobiles navigate.

Cortallia-Rathwood
Originally just Cortallia, this metropolis began as a gold-mining town. It began to receive significant attention after the Everstone of Owlsbeacon, and subsequently Old Goldendown, were rediscovered in the mines. The people of Rathasia, whom had been brought to Suthergold by the first Stoneharvesters, began to migrate to the nearby forested area to found Rathwood. After exponential growth of trade between the two neighbors was observed, it was decided that they would combine to form the medical utopia seen today.

Sutherland
Discovered by Count Everstone's initial land surveys, the Sutherlandians were an isolated group which had (at that point) only recently abandoned their nomadic lifestyles. This is the only place in all of Micras in which Quiverbane is fermented. Today the autonomous communicate remains somewhat reserved.

Tephal
Becoming a part of the county after Goldshire's internal borders shifted, Tephal is used for trade with northern Elwynn.

High Harvest
The center of the Plantations (with one exception along the W. Elwynn), High Harvest is the location in which all plantation produce is distributed and prices negotiated.

New Harbor
This newer settlement is used for faster trade with the rest of Goldshire and home to the county's fishing industry, though some say that it was made as a buffer between Asantilian and its former capitol of Avakair.

LESSER DIVISIONS

The fifteen lesser divisions of Suthergold were established so that records could be more precise and to allow selected county-officials to manage the population, and each is overseen by a Representative. Representatives do not wield any governmental power; rather, they purely act as their name suggests and alert the Count of any issues worthy of assistance.
