It's early fall, and the leaves have yet to start changing colors in the North, and likely won't change color at all here in the warm country of Vrynn.
As you arrived in Ssan Ryss, the capital, you passed by many farmhands out in the fields beginning their seasonal harvest and enjoying the beautiful weather. The city itself is surrounded by high stone walls and sits perched on top of a large, rolling hill. Not quite circular in shape, Ssan Ryss was built to lay across the entirety of the hilltop. Surrounded by farmland and the occasional small village-like gathering of three or four buildings, likely an inn and a couple homes, Ssan Ryss gives off that 'capital city' feeling.
Arriving in Ssan Ryss, you are immediately aware of the bustle of the city, as people of all walks of life traverse the city. Some are working, some are visiting, and even some are merely liesurely strolling around, seemingly unsure what to do in here. The proportion of Lizardfolk, both big and small, is far greater than in any other city you've visited recently, and likely rivals the number of humans maneuvering through the streets. The city seems built around a large, palace-like structure, which any local can tell you is home to the Council, the ruling seven members of Ssan Ryss. All seven serve the 'Lizard Queen,' who rules over Vrynn. Primarily a figure-head, the Lizard Queen is the honorary title for the ruler of Vrynn. In fact, the capital's name, Ssan Ryss, was the name of the first queen of the Lizardfolk who treatied with humans to form the nation.
Regardless of the reason for your arrival, you find yourself eventually searching for room and board, arriving in a local tavern/inn hybrid manned by a gruff six-and-a-half foot tall lizard. He stands behind the bar, wiping down mugs with what appears to be a dirty rag, occasionally stopping to refill a drink request. The bar is only half filled as the orange glow of late afternoon/early evening begins to fill the room.
