TwinCties

Originally two cities connected with an ancient bridge controlled by the DeCompty family. The northern shore is too shallow but served as the only sea port, the south is a cliff face. With the high tolls and poor port a better solution was sought. New port Island was suitable so the bridges started to be built

The Wizards circle with interests in encouraging immigration to the southern continent but wishing to keep technology out and magic in built it's own bridge. The DeCompty family realizing that it would lose it monopoly on the cities trade formed , with the circles help, The Council. All communities have a representative on the council. The DeCompty still defend the City but for a Fee.

The City grew. The first bridges expanded and more were built connecting the other islands. Eventually becoming a conglomerate of hundreds of minor bridges, each with different builders and interests.

Tolls are charged on each other bridges. The Exact charges changing nearly day to day. Technology, from the north and magic from the south is heavily taxed on entry and not allowed to leave the opposite shore.
