Caronath

Caronath is the capital city of Merisee, with a population just over five million. As the only major city on the planet, it is home to many of Merisee's corporations. It is the most common destination for off-world business travelers, as well as the center of Merisee's impressive medical facilities.

The Meris and Teltiors are a hard working people and not given to wild celebrations. Caronath is a quiet city, with few social clubs or taverns. The few ones here do a very brisk business. If there is someone from off-planet on Merisee, they will be very easy to find, since there are not many places to look. The most popular Merisee social spots are the Utoz Houses.

Caronath does offer a large number of public parks, many of which have "thinking gardens." For a small fee (averaging five credits per hour), a person can rent a small, closed off area of a park. They will have this area all to themselves for solitude and contemplation. Of course, these gardens can be used for less noble purposes - it is known that meetings of shameful lovers or contracts for Loag assassins have been arranged within the seclusion of these gardens.

There are also many counselors near the parks or who have businesses in the city proper. These counselors offer advice and listen to the problems of others. This tradition was established as part of Merisee's medical tradition, the people here believing that healing is a physical and mental process. However, this tradition is popular with those who simply want privacy and advice.
