Seat of Scales

Wielder of Flame and Steel The 50-foot tall red-veined marble statue of a gigantic red half-dragon warrior stands on the island in front of the Open Harbor, menacingly looking out towards the Calhay Sea. The figure depicts a fire-breathing red half-dragon clad in spiked half-plate armor wielding a large saber in two hands. Flames are constantly burning in the statue’s mouth, as a guiding light for ships approaching the harbor.

Open Harbor The piers of the northern section of the Landing are made available for non-Xantharosian ships. The tax collectors of the Scaled Council patrol the docks, and there are always a few Fangs of Order present to monitor activities. It is a relatively dirty, loud, and tumultuous section of the city, always buzzing with activity. Slaves and half-dragon nobles are rarely seen in this area, except when shipments must be inspected or handled personally. The harbormaster and commander of the tax collectors is Geryn Sorpin, a 63 year-old man with a proclivity for drink, a grumpy demeanor, and brusque manners towards slaves but cowed attitude towards half-dragon nobles.

The Rack Imprisonment is rare in the Seat of Scales, reserved for those who cannot pay fines or whose sentences have not yet been carried out by the courts. The Rack is a collection of cages that hang suspended from large posts. The prisoners inside are rarely fed and weak from starvation. Their wretched bodies usually lie slumped over from weakness for passersby to witness their plight. A few of the more malicious Fangs of Order perch on the top of the posts that support the cages, constantly intimidating the prisoners and delighting in their suffering. A current prisoner on display is Gaelron Hellsong, a fallen cleric of the Relentless who has lost his faith, sentenced to public imprisonment for two months for obstructing justice when he tried to lie to the Fangs of Order about his whereabouts following a disturbance in the Tooth and Nail. He has a haunted look to his eyes as he sits in his cage with a jaded and cynical demeanor.

The Long Bench The largest inn in the Seat of Scales dates back a thousand years and is a grand edifice with many rooms for rent. The lower section of the rectangular building is a vast space, lined with a massive stone bench on all sides, carved from marble with orange specks. Over the countless generations and multitudes of visitors who have sat on the bench, it has become smooth and rounded. Its age signifies the ancient history of the city and the residents of the Seat of Scales proudly boast of this heritage. Many locals frequent the establishment, mingling with outsiders who stay at the inn for longer stints while they conduct business in the city. The upper floor of the building has numerous apartments for rent, usually on a monthly basis. Jauren the Fateweaver, a bard storyteller with a tome of stories that never seem to run dry, is a long-time regular at the inn.

Everflowing Basin The freshwater supply of the Seat of Scales is provided by a monumental cistern at the heart of the Peddler’s Abode, which collects the abundant rainwater, filters it from debris, and stores it in underground chambers connected to wells throughout the city. The Basin, as it is known in the city, is under constant guard by two Fangs of Order, lest anyone disturb the lifeblood of the Seat of Scales.

The Primal Egg A large plaza dominates the intersection of the Path of the Relentless and the Wavecrusher Boulevard in the Peddler’s Abode. A gigantic dragon’s egg covered in fine scales of a blueish green hue dominates the center of the plaza, said to be the calcified egg of Xolenthas, mate of Xantharos. Legends tell that the colossal dragon carried the egg when he was banished to the Material Plane. The solidified egg is said to have been recovered from the depth of the sea over a thousand years ago. However, few have verified the tale, and to the uninitiated it seems to have been carved from stone by a master craftsperson. The site is sacred to all draconic inhabitants of the city, and any damage done to the egg is harshly punished by the Fangs of Order.

Cloister of the Whip Worshipers of the Relentless, the god of Strength, can attend daily masses at this modest temple, which features an open-air courtyard open to the elements. Services are held regardless of the weather conditions, and supplicants are expected to show the toughness of their faith in the searing summer heat and torrential winter downpours alike. Self-flagellation is encouraged, and small scourges are made available for this purpose. The head priest of the temple is Lord Thramnead Gleamfang, a half-gold dwarf of Clan Gleamfang, who vociferously espouses the dominance of dragonkind over all other species and gladly offers the whip for worshipers to show their devotion to the Relentless. The giant statue in front of the temple is a landmark in the Seat of Scales, rising high above the surrounding buildings. It is cleaned regularly, and Lord Thramnead Gleamfang forbids the use of ropes, ladders, or harnesses, bidding slaves to climb the statue without any assistance.

Biljin’s Fantastic Beasts and Other Pets Biljin Golggiggles, a morose gnome druid sells live beasts and animals in this large building that serves as both a stable and a store. The selection includes birds, snakes, amphibians, horses, and even some predators, like a saber tooth tiger and a triceratops. The cages are smaller at the front of the store, suited for smaller species, but become larger as one ventures deeper through the wide rooms, and eventually reaches the courtyard at the back. The musky smell of fur and the sound of animals are overwhelming.

The Dire Barnacle Arched entries frame the lower level of an ancient residential building on all sides.

Long Shot Mathreus’ bows are in high demand by the nobles of the city, who try to acquire as much of the bowyer’s stock as possible for their troops. The high quality of the bows compensates for the slow production rate and Mathreus and his team of few master bowyers spare no breath to keep up with the demand. Mathreus invented several unique, non-magical arrow heads that are easy to produce and deliver different effects, such as carrying alchemical substances, pinning foes, or doing more damage with their rotating heads even after hitting their targets.

A character who speaks both Elvish and Aquan can understand Deep Sea-Elvish and can translate the song.

It has five long necks with the heads of dragons of each metallic type.
