Stormhaven is a bustling coastal city known for its diverse culture and rich history. Positioned strategically along trade routes, it serves as a major hub for merchants, sailors, and adventurers. Its architecture blends ancient stone fortifications with more modern structures, reflecting the city’s growth over the centuries. Divided into districts, each with its own character, from the affluent Sunnyspire Quarter to the more rugged Ironclad District, Stormhaven is a city of contrasts. Its economy thrives on trade, craftsmanship, and magic, with powerful guilds influencing its political and social landscape.

Governance: Stormhaven City Council

Stormhaven is ruled by a semi-democratic city council. The council has 21 seats filled with different representatives.

• 10 seats for inside the wall, with 2 seats per neighborhood.

• 6 seats for the outside the wall, with 1 seat per neighborhood.

• 5 seats reserved for the Guilds who divide them amongst themselves at the Guild Assembly.

The different Guilds not only wield power directly via their seats at the city council, but also through the backdoor deals with the neighborhood council members by leveraging their economic influence on the neighborhoods and their representatives.
