SEAHOLM ISLE
1.
PALACE OF THE COUNCIL - This is the seat of true power in Eye. This
is the headquarters of both the STAR COUNCIL or COUNCIL OF FIVE and the
government. The Five Councilors
oversee the ten MINISTRIES, which are also housed in the Palace. The
first five are Minister of the Exchequer, the Minister of Justice, The
Marshalty, the Admiralty, and the Commune. The
second tier Ministries are Estates, Harbor, State Affairs, and the Chancery. The
Palace is well guarded and some say magically warded as well. A
vast storehouse of art and treasure, parts are open to the public every
Midwoak for petition filing and tours. The
offices of the Ministries are open most days but by appointment. Many
of the Ministries use nearby buildings as offices for their inspectors,
officers and police.
2.
ASSEMBLY HALL - Not as sumptuous or as busy as the Palace of the
Council, the Assembly hall is dominated by the vast meeting chamber. Several
offices are on the first floor for the Assembly's Advocates and Petition
Readers.
3.
PALACE OF JUSTICE - This fortified building holds the CHAMBERS OF JUSTICE
where the City's Judges hold court. It
also houses the GAOL, with it's Interrogation rooms, cells, and deep Dungeon. The
families of prisoners often stand along the Juro Canal to catch their last
glimpse of their loved ones as they cross the bridge that leads to the
prison. This bridge is known
as the BRIDGE OF ASTELLUS, after the old pagan God who guided the soul
to the Land of the Dead.
4.
ST. JAMISON CATHEDRAL - Located on the St Jamison Plaza, the heart of the
Republic, the Cathedral forms the third side of the triangle of both the
Plaza and the Seal of Eye.

ACCADEMIE
BRIDGE - Leads across the Republican Canal to the Isle of Pinkstone and
the University.. It is a drawbridge
that goes up on the conical hours for thirty minutes.
GREENPARK
- This is the city park, where
many of the local nobles goes to promenade during summer evenings. The
place has several styles of garden, including a round labyrinth and the
ANIMAL GARDEN or zoo. It is
across the way from the GAOL, a cruel irony. There
are various VENDORS selling food and drink.
GASKNOCK
5.
DUCAL PALACE - This
is the City residence of the Duke of Garda, the figurehead of the Republic. While
he holds title to the vast Estate of Garda, he only holds this Palace technically,
in the city. The Duke has
some properties and business interest. The
Palace is well guarded. Of
interest are the Lions of Philemon. These
giant gold Lions were taken from a Crusader ship by pirates and then relieved from
them by the Eyen Navy. Since
they were being stolen from the Ji Hassa temple in Philemon, nobody has
claimed them.
6.
SHIPWORKS -This is the most defended part of the City and the most important
economically. Behind the high
walls is the world’s largest Ship Building factory. Several companies
work in the enclosure building and repairing the ships that provide the
merchant and military navies. The
major ship design is the KARUNE, the Eyen Carrack. They
also build the sleek Eyen Trireme, a
galley that is able to ram opposing ships, though has a limited range. It
is next to impossible to gain access to the Ship works without the written
consent of either one of the Shipbuilding families of from the council.

March is in charge as Marshal Rocke lives in a Palace in the Eastern District. Most
of the Republican Guard stationed in the City live here. The
rest of the guard live in billeted quarters in a village across the lagoon and
in all major towns.
