City of Montpierre

The City of Montpierre, also known as 'The City', is the ancient borough located at the centre of the eponymous metropolitan area of Montpierre (or Greater Montpierre). It is the historical old town, where the majority of University colleges are located and it is home to some of the oldest buildings in the world.

Located on the banks of the Salmon River and the Cold River just prior to where they meet the sea, Montpierre lies on a natural harbour. Protected by the mountains to the south, Montpierre is shielded from much of the strong seas and winds.

It is little known that the entirety of Montpierre Mountain is considered part of the city and so is included as part thereof in this article. However, no official body claims it and it is an area without borough status.
