Brightwater

Brightwater is a half-elven city-state in the northern coast of the Sundered Sea.

Government
Brightwater's government is run by a pair of councils.

The Big Council consists of representatives from all of the state recognized guilds from Brightwater and its surrounding lands. Most governmental tasks are handled by this council.

The Small Council consists of representatives from only the most powerful and influential guilds. They handle the most important state tasks. They also oversee the Big Council and have the ability to override its decisions.

Society
Guilds dominate the social and economic dynamics of Brightwater. There are also a large number of Prominent Houses in the city. While most children tend to enter the same guild as their parents, talent and inclination dont always go hand in hand so members of the same house can be found among several or even many different guilds. The interplay of families and guilds creates a complicated and dynamic web of relationships among the citizens of Brightwater.
