Hargeon
Description: Hargeon is one of Fiore's ports and also one of its most beautiful old cities. The city is prosperous and renowned for fishing and trade. Hargeon is known for being an extremely clean city, not only literally but figuratively, with very little corruption, crime, or anything of the like. Hargeon is home to many ports, and is the main hub for boat travel in all of Fiore. People come from all over the country to depart on ships from Hargeon's ports. Its population is of moderate size, and it can be seen as having a very victorian-style design in architecture. Its layout is fairly simple, and standard for most cities made in its time. It is one of the largest coastal cities in Fiore.
Localization: The vast blue ocean perpetually expands at Hargeon's coast, which is filled with boats coming in and out of Hargeon's ports for fishing and trade, but they're not alone. There are plenty of creatures lurking in those waters such as various sea monsters, and, as legend has it, even the leviathan itself. Â However, there are more peaceful creatures as well, such as mermaids, but they are a rare sight to see. Aside from the ocean, Hargeon is surrounded by an overgrowth of ferns, trees, and plants alike. Dangerous and less-dangerous animals reside in these forests, but tend to stay away from humans, and humans generally tend to stay away from the forests.
Politics: Hargeon is ran by Mayor Magentas.
Economy: Hargeon's economy mainly comes from its ports, a mixture of both fishing and ships departing for Nanuq and Galuna Island. Most of Hargeon's income comes from these two, which makes it the dominating business of the city. However, a good chunk of Hargeon also works on developing beauty and fashion products, mainly influenced by the fame of the guild Blue Pegasus. In addition, many contests are held on beauty, which has admission fees and is attended by many, meaning it is quite the profitable business in the city.
Culture: Hargeon is a city that takes great pride in its fish, enough to hold a large fish market every weekend at the wharf. Hargeon's residents seem to be superstitious, or at least the fishers. They say that the day before the rain will bring no fish, and the day after rain brings large amounts, thus the people of Hargeon check the weather forecast constantly. For those in Hargeon who are not into the fishing business, they prefer to be as good-looking as possible, as the city holds beauty pageants constantly, even for males.
Locations
 | Blue Pegasus Guild: Blue Pegasus' headquarters is located at the edge of Hargeon City. The building appears as a single block, square building composed of very massive, pink bricks, with a pair of towers, dividing the facade in three sections. Sprouting from each of the building's sides is a mildly large, stylized feathery wing composed of stone, in reference to the guild's theme. |
 | Hargeon Square: Hargeon Square is a small square with a fountain in the middle and several wooden benches around it. The wooden benches all have trees perfectly positioned behind them which offer a little bit of shade depending on which time of the day which bench is used. This was done by the city because some people didn't like to sit in the sun and couldn't be bothered to bring umbrellas. |
 | 8-Island Restaurant: 8-Island Restaurant is a large two-story restaurant that serves a variety of fish dishes. The windows all have blue shutters and the windows on the top floor are covered by a fish net that hangs down from the roof. There are several sea-themed items lining the fronts of the buildings such as several floaties, an anchor, etc. There are also several barrels lined across the front. |
 | Hargeon Lighthouse: The lighthouse sits upon a large rock in the sea and can be accessed via the small dock. It is being maintained by an old man who some say might be as old as the lighthouse itself. The lighthouse safely directs ships towards the docks of Hargeon. It is said that on nights with a full moon a ghost ship can be seen far away.
|
 | Hargeon Dock: Hargeon has multiple docks for different purposes such as merchant ships, traveler ships and private ships and boats. This little dock is used for smaller private boats and traveler boats. Larger ships and boats are supposed to be docked in one of the other docks in Hargeon. |
 | Sardina Restaurant: Sardina is a large two-story restaurant which serves seafood. There are at least seven windows on the front side of the building. The windows all have blue shutters and the windows on the top floor are covered by a fish net that hangs down from the roof. The roof of the building has purple shingles. A sign can be seen above the restaurant's entrance. There are several sea-themed items lining the fronts of the buildings. Inside there are booths that spread all across the room.
|
| Aazure Beach: The beach in Hargeon is a beautiful place with soft sand and a blue shore. It is always lively here, but never too crowded. When in the mood for a snack, most people purchase a hotdog or an ice cream from one of the vendors strolling on the beach. Besides relaxing and sunbathing there is also the possibility to play all sorts of games or train at the outdoor beach gym. Sometimes they hold festivities on the beach for celebrations or competitions.

He has been running his shop for a few decades now. |
 | Reagan Hullston: Reagan is a smuggler who transports wares from the pirates outside Hargeon to be sold elsewhere. He does this because there is quite some profit to be made. Purchasing the wares at a low price, due to the risk of getting caught, and selling them in another city at full price is his business. He cleverly hides his wares with all sorts of methods each time. |
 | Maxwell Buscon: Maxwell is a simple thug who harasses people and steals their money. He isn't that smart and easily gets agitated when he doesn't understand something, often believing it to be insults thrown at him. Whenever he does get agitated, he also gets violent rather quickly and continues the conversation with his fists. |
 | Raina Burke: Raina is a marine biologist who is, and always will be, concerned about Hargeon's aquatic life. Her goal is to reduce the amount of pollution in Hargeon's waters and bring the aquatic life population back up to what it formerly was. She is highly intelligent and is the top marine biologist in Hargeon. |
 | Collin Simmer: Collin is a page who has been stationed in Hargeon City to gain more experience.

 | Gert Trumband: Gert always carries a frown on his face. He dislikes a lot of things in life, but he does truly care about Hargeon. He wants the streets to be kept clean so the city doesn't lose its beautiful image and get compared to Orchidia, which is just the worst place in his opinion. Probably because he got his wallet stolen there once though. |
 | Jay Holiday: Pretty much everyone at the Hargeon Beach knows Jay Holiday. He can always be found at the outdoor gym there training his muscles to get in shape for his competitions. Since he trains so much, he can't find a decent spotter who is able to be there with him always. Luckily, he makes enough money from the competitions to request others to help him out. |
 | Kenji Maki: Better known as Officer Kenji, Kenji is Hargeon's most well known and well liked police officer. He's quite sociable and humerus, and can hold a conversation better than most. At times, he can even be exceedingly suave. His detective skills are uncanny and he is impressively brave. |
 | Jacob Fischer: Jacob loves fishing, it had always been a hobby of his and is now making a substantial income off of it by selling the fish he's caught. Whenever he's away from the sea, he'll often display a grumpy attitude until he takes out his fishing rod and heads to the docks. There, he's completely calm and relaxed. |
