Jalpa is a city in the Kingdom of Ahlissa, which a bustling trade city, which has more hostelries than any other city in the Flanaess.
History
The city did not do well during and just after the Greyhawk Wars, losing many of the Urnst, Nyrondese and Greyhawk caravans that came through from Almor before the war. Since roughly one third of the population made their living providing services to travelers, this sharply increased poverty, as the city did not have the same reserves of wealth as Kalstrand. There was also a flood of refugees from the east, who brought an evil outlook, and between those two factors, crime rates increased. [1]
Because of all that, Prince Farland of House Darmen, who was in charge of the city at the time, supported his nephew, now-King Xavener in his big to lead House Darmen in its bid to take the Malachite Throne from Ivid V which ultimately failed because both Ivid V and the throne itself were in Rauxes when it was engulfed, though Xanvener did end up leading House Darmen to a throne when the Great Kingdom broke up shortly afterwards.
Geography
Jalpa is in what used to be the Great Kingdom, now part of the Kingdom of Ahlissa, just to the south of the Adri Forest, well west of Rauxes, though inland from Relmor Bay. It's located several miles from a shallow and sluggish offshoot of the Flanmi River known as the "Little Falnmi". It is the nexus point for roads leading from Rel Deven, Kalstrand, Torrich and from the north. [1]
Cityscape
One of the most famous buildings in the city is the Polyphonium, built by a distant ancestor of Otto the mage. The scalloped ceiling and bizarre crossbeams are quite distinctive, and it was allegedly made to have perfect acoustics, with rumors stating that it enhances metamagical operations and illusions. [1]
