It was in this very city that the world's first 'axe' line weapons were brought into the world, weapon designs that are now considered the cutting edge of human technology and are loved by hunters all around the world. Tarminia city features brick and mortar buildings, paved city streets, and buildings that reach so high into the sky that even a Rathalos would have a hard time considering it his domain. The city is ever expanding it's influence, growing larger and larger as it cuts into monster territory in the name of human advancement. As such, it has become a roaring hotspot for hunters who are looking to make a living without stepping too far away from home, and there is<em>plenty</em>of work to be done. The city itself is protected on all sides by ballista cannons and 'dragonator' drill turrets that decimate all but the most horrifying of monstrosities, but the outer regions are far more heavily contested and less well protected. There's always a contract for a hunter on the table for builders and construction workers that want to build outside of the protective blanket of cannons, fifty-feet tall walls, and dragonators.<br/><br/>Inside the city itself is a roaring capital of human activity, broken up into distinct sections that grow more cluttered and disorganized every year as the city continues it's expansions. Most of the city is made up of residential districts, where people call home and live their daily lives. While there is a designated marketplace district where somebody can visit to buy anything they could hope to need, there are small vendors for all kinds of snacks and trinkets that line almost every street of the residential districts as well, meaning that no matter where you go, there's always something to spend your money on. Near the heart of the city rests the Hunter's Guild sector and the battle arena. The hunter's guild in Tarminia city is so large that it is able to claim ownership over an entire residential district specifically for it's hunters to live in, and it's guild hall is among the largest in all the world. Nearly all times of day, sounds of drinking, laughter, and epic stories being shared can be heard coming from the bottom floor. There is no one single designated mission board, rather, there are tuns of mission boards scattered throughout the district, and it falls upon the 'Guild Sweetheart' manning each station to keep the missions up to date and current. Finally, the largest attraction in the Hunter's guild sector is the battle arena, where the common man can spend their coin to enjoy a day of brutal combat between dedicated, skilled hunters, and horrible monsters that were somehow able to be dragged back alive from where ever they had come from. The Arena is commonly considered to be the most dangerous place to fight within at least two hundred miles of the city, so only the most battle hardened, stonefaced, gifted hunters are allowed to take part.<br/><br/>Dead in the middle of the city is Skyreach, a castle that takes pride in being the largest building in the entire city, and it's the place where Tarminia's Emperor takes seat. Emperor Leogani S Tarmin III is a powerful, strong willed, and ambitious man that seeks to further expand his city with every passing day, and while the history of how he had been able to create such a mighty city and continue to lead it weren't common knowledge to the men and women beneath him, any who were curious to learn more about him and his tale could do so at one of the many libraries or colleges dotted through the city.<br/><br/>It was a place of forward progress for humanity, and more importantly to some, it was a place of endless work to any Monster Hunter in the area. Of course, should the city life prove to be too much for some hunters to handle, there were plenty of other smaller and more unassuming villages and towns in need of help throughout the countryside. All they needed to do was ask the Guild Master if there were any places that needed their help, and they'd be on their way.<br/><br/><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Key locations</span></strong></div><br/><strong>Hunter's Guild sector:</strong>Probably the largest hunting guild hub in all the world, Tarminia's guild hall is renowned for accepting missions that sends it's people to exotic locations all around the world. It consists of the massive guild hall itself, which houses a tavern where any hunter can grab a table to enjoy a warm meal and a drink for a small price, as well as having all the regular establishments that hunters are familiar with having. It's a large sector where hunters can relax and enjoy themselves in between missions.<br/><br/><em>Hunter's Guild sector NPCS</em><br/>-Guildmaster Ion<br/>-Ol' Ironfist, the smithy<br/>-Natasha Ironfist, weapons clerk<br/>-Inventory Champion (item shop)<br/>-Chef la' mule'<br/><br/><strong>Skyreach:</strong>The castle of the kings is opened to the common man to visit as they wish... At least at the ground level. Guards keep a diligent eye on all visitors to make sure nothing is out of place, but any is welcome to come and go at any time. At the ground level, visitors can admire the large collection of sculptures and artwork that line the walls, and they can also schedule a potential audience with the emperor himself. Although emperor Leogani is a busy man, he has two hours every day set aside specifically for audiences and meetings with his people, so that he can listen to their concerns and address them.<br/><br/><em>Skyreach NPCs</em><br/>-Emperor Leogani<br/>-Guard Captain<br/>-Eager Receptionist<br/><br/><strong>other locations to visit</strong><br/>-Tarminia docks<br/>-Central library<br/>-Marketplace<br/>-Arena<br/>
