Hexpools
General information
Realm:	Ahlissa
Demographics
Population:	11,000

Hexpools is a town in what was formerly the South Province of the Great Kingdom but is now Ahlissa. The town is named for the six hexagonal limestone pools built in a ring around the outside of the city which power its mills and can be used to create high powered streams of water to defend the city be devastating the besieging army.

History

The city and it's pools were built roughly around 286 CY, with the pools being designed and enchanted by the wizard Farlockend, statues of whom dot the city.

Geography

The city is located to the Southwest of Ahlissa, near the boarder with Sunndi, on the banks of the Greyflood River, whose headwaters are formed from water flowing from the hexpools themselves.

Cityscape

The city has a limestone wall that is 30' high, just inside of which the hexpools that give the city its name are located. Each pool is roughly 100' across, with 10' high walls, and is sunk 30' into the ground. The pools are filled by water magically drawn upward from underground aquifers.

People

Notable individuals

The most notable person by far in the city's history is Farlockend, the wizard who built the pools. He is regarded as a local hero, bordering on saint. His statues are all over the city, and whenever anyone mentions his name, they add "blessings on him!".

Government

The city is run by a hereditary aristocratic council made up of decedents of Farlockend. Those within the city are hesitant to question this, even in the face of ineptitude, for fear of the magic ceasing to function as intended.
