Tevish-Na is the capital city of the Sovereign Kingdom of Tevish. It sits in the grassy hills upon the island of Na located off the southern coast of Tevish. Many visitors ferry from Port Faith up the island's estuary and the Na river into docks located not far from the city's walls.
Demographics[]
Tevish-Na is mostly dominated by humans, though other races can be found here as well. Though making up only a small portion of the population, the elves have a district of wooden houses built upon some vast trees within the city walls. It is a Large City with a population of around 15,000 (75% human, 7% Elf, 5% Dwarf, 3% Half-Elf, 3% Gnome, 2% Half-Orc, 2% Halfling, 3% other).
St. Cuthbert is the patron deity of the city, though other large temples can be found to other good and neutral deities. Notably, the elves have a temple dedicated to Corellon Larethian carved into the trunk of the largest tree, planted near the entrance of the elven district. Most people suspect that a temple to Nerull exists somewhere in an abandoned building or in the back of a store used as a front, but there is no proof of such a place existing.
Politics[]
Tevish-Na is a monarchy ruled by the human King Devlin Tevish XIV. He makes a public appearance every 21 days, where he addresses any news, decrees, or concerns of the citizens. Every 42 days he leads a forum of public leaders from representatives of each city within his kingdom. King Devlin's High Vizier is a half-elf named Zabrak.
The city guard is lead by Captain Grak'ka, a seasoned half-orc warrior. He oversees the elite police force called the "High Templars." The military force of Tevish has its general located in the city of tevish. The female gnomish General Breehana Swiftspear oversees the military operations of all of Tevish, including the powerful Tevishian navy.
