+display_name: Avenford
+population: 340000
+role: metropolis
+character: |
+  The region's metropolis, built on a long harbour that still carries shipping traffic at the north end and turned almost entirely residential at the south. The old quarter around the university and the press row is dense with bookshops, reading rooms, and small studios above shopfronts; the new financial district rises behind it in glass. Rents have been the subject of editorial columns for fifteen years running. The fog comes in most mornings and lifts by midday. The bridges are still the oldest-looking thing in town, cast iron kept painted a sober grey.

+population: 84000
+role: port
+character: |
+  The old working port. Its fortunes rise and fall with the shipping industry and at the moment they are falling quietly. Victorian terraces back onto the docks, and inland the streets run on a grid laid down by the merchants' guilds in the 1800s. A third of the adult population still works the port in some form. The rest work in the adjacent warehouses, the rail depot, the fish market, or the hospitals and schools that kept pace with the population. Houses here are cheap and stay cheap. Bands come out of Kellisport every few years that the Avenford press suddenly cares about.

+role: university_town
+character: |
+  A smaller inland city built around the university, which employs more than a sixth of the working population directly and another sixth indirectly. Stone quadrangles, a cathedral the Quiet Path shares with the Covenant on alternating afternoons, student housing converted from former monasteries, and a ring of newer research buildings on the southern edge. A town that empties for six weeks every summer and fills again in the autumn rain. Two decent bookshops, three good ones, and a river that runs the length of the old quarter.

+id: halfire_press

+city_id: avenford
+display_name: The Halfire Press
+kind: publisher
+character: |
+  The region's most storied literary publisher. Founded in 1889 and independent through every consolidation wave since. Operates out of three floors of a narrow Avenford townhouse with a street-level reading room open to anyone. Publishes around thirty titles a year — literary fiction, essays, and a small philosophy list kept alive more from principle than profit. Its imprint is recognised across the world and turning down an offer from Halfire is a kind of minor career milestone in itself. Rights to copy-edit are fought over. The editor-in-chief writes a column for the Sunday papers that no one important admits to reading.

+kind: university
+character: |
+  A medium-large university, old by Mirror Coast standards — its oldest college dates to the twelfth century, and its newest to the 1960s. Strong humanities, a well-regarded philosophy department, a literature faculty that runs a steady pipeline into the Avenford press row, and a science faculty that has modernised quietly over the last forty years. The student population sits around eighteen thousand, a third of them from outside the region. Tuition is public and steeply subsidised; competition for entry is sharp. Professors tend to live in the old city and walk to work.

+    People here read. They argue in cafes about things no one else cares about, they know which essay ran in which magazine last month, and they pretend not to care about the weather while building their lives around it. The region prides itself on being tolerant and is visibly less so about money. Old money keeps quiet; new money is loud; the working class is getting priced out of every neighbourhood that remembers it. Under everything, a gentle fog of self-regard.
+
+class_texture: |
+  Sharp inequality with a polite face. The professional class is comfortable and tired. The working class is hanging on in the old port wards and the inland mill towns. Real poverty, mostly hidden, sits in single-room occupancies above the shops and in the long-term rentals of the old dock neighbourhoods.
