Gakufa
The upper-Pow city, farthest into the wet south-west, where the forest is oldest and the light arrives pre-owned. In AC 50 it is the end of the navigable water and the head of the portage-paths: whatever leaves the deep forest shoulders its way through Gakufa first.
Key traits

- In AC 50 its porters' guild carries the deep-forest trade across the watershed on paths maintained since before memory.
- The city's stone is green to the rooflines: moss is Gakufa's weather.
