The City of Dawn
The City of Dawn – Easternmost city of the known world, a palace of pink marble and gardens everywhere. A city devoted to pleasure of all kinds. All vices are legal and practiced openly, from sex to drugs to sorcery. Personal responsibility is the basis of the law, and rather than a police force, there is a Guild of Compensation, which punishes those found guilty of crimes.
As the only law is to cause no suffering, the only crime is doing harm, whether it be physical, financial, social or otherwise. For all crimes short of murder, the criminal is brought back to face their victim and just compensation is then agreed upon by both parties with the guidance of the Guild Judges, and then enforced by the Guild Enforcers.
Aside from the Palace of Dawn and the temple of the Red God, the enforcer's castle is one of the city's notable features, as are the covered market in which things are sold openly that in most places are criminal, and the Gardens of Release, where lovers meet in the open and indulge themselves.
