The Structure of Nestal
Government
The city has a single Chutiin, Aranel Nerithinar, at its head who has final say in decisions surrounding the cities governance. Under her, there are Pipil Lords that handle the legwork of devising and implementing policy, who gather most of their information from the Pipils that reside within each district.
Infrastructure
The city has a well maintained internal road network along with a robust outer wall for defense. The city is constructed over a large sea cave network, which has been expanded to allow for a massive harbor within it. Several pillars have been constructed within the caves to support the city above, many with stairwells and lifts built within in order to allow people and goods to move from the harbor into the city.

Defenses
The city has a large wall that surrounds it on the Upper Rim. Additionally, several towers are arranged on the various cliff faces that the city is built upon. The harbor and caves below the city also has several defensive structures built within, and are also rigged to blow via remote warding circles near the entrances to seal them off from any naval assault.
Industry and Trade
The primary industry in Nestal is trade, acting as the last large port city along the Sea of Whispers on the way through the Strait of Nestal toward the Illistrian Sea and the inner cities of the Illistrian Empire, or moving along the coast to the north and the city of Bridgerest and passing into the Sea of the Drowned. This location makes it a prime location for catering to travelers, causing a plentitude of Inns and Taverns to exist within the Middle Rim of the city.
