Kosel

The city of Kosel

Kosel is the largest city of Silvetia and the seat of its government. It is situated on the Western (left) bank of the river Schwarzwasser in forested, hilly terrain.

Overview

Kosel is defined by two main features: Its thick red city walls and the elevation rise towards the center, with the highest point of the city being the Duke's Hall plateau in the Western city center. The city of Kosel can be entered via three main gates:

• The Northern Gate, called tbd
• The Eastern Gate, called tbd
• The Southern Gate, called tbd

Connecting these gates with the Duke's Hall plateau are the two main avenues of the city, dividing Kosel into four quarters (plus the plateau itself as the fifth quarter).

Duke's Hall

In the days of the Duchy of Silvetia, the Duke's Hall on top of the city's highest plateau was Kosel's dominating feature. It was the seat of the Duke for purposes of representation and courting, housing hundreds of noblemen and their entourages for days at a time.

Eagle Plaza

Situated rigth below the Duke's Hall, the Eagle Plaza is the largest open space in all of Kosel without any permanent buildings. It is frequently used for speeches, festivities and other events. It features a giant stone-and-black-marble mosaic depicting the Silvetian Eagle flag, hence its name.

High Market

Right below the Eagle Plaza, the High Market is the largest of the three markets of Kosel. It is well known for its exotic goods, which are generally of better quality and much higher price than the ones offered in the Long Market.
