History of Jade Cove

Jade Cove itself was often one of the victims of the invasions from the Western Clans in Pentian history, being situated on the western coasts of the nation. The city was built up strongly over its several years of conflict, and has been occupied by foreign invaders several times. However the city has served as a fortress and command center in the west during the North River Federation, and after the integration into the Republic of Pentium. During the Great War, the city was encircled in its entirety by the Southern Union. Despite the hard fighting from the Union troops, the defenders of Jade Cove managed to hold out until reinforcements arrived if only by a sliver of its territory still in their hands.

Geography

Jade Cove is situated on a small hill that overlooks the western sea, over the years the city has expanded down the inclines of the hill and has settlements on the rest of the flatlands that mark the western part of Pentium. The ground has traditionally been used for agriculture and minor manufacturing efforts. Trees are sparse throughout the landscape, and smaller rolling hills dot the countryside to the north.

Economy
