| '''Saltworth''' is a medieval island city located in the eastern part of [[Malesius]] Region. It was founded by Invism in February 22nd, 2022 and features medieval-styled builds with turquoise-colored roofs.

| == Geography ==
| |
| Saltworth sits above an island, fully under its jurisdiction. It is bordered by a strait (partially swamped) that separates the island and the larger continental landmass that is assumed to be eastern part of Malesius. However, the labeling of the landmass is disputed. Most areas of the city have a taiga-like climate, but trees are hardly present. Other climates within the area include beaches in the east, swamps in the southcentral, and a custom moss biome in the southwest.

| == Structures ==
| |
| Buildings in Salworth are mostly built from blocks that followed the color palette of turquoise (mostly dark prismarine), white (white wool), wooden brown (various, but largely spruce planks and oak logs) gray (mainly stones and stone bricks), and red (bricks). The city's most notable buildings are two separate castles and the Fortress Inn. Other structures include sea docks (which currently have two ships), a trading depot, a clock tower, a lighthouse, a tavern, shops, houses, and vacant builds. An [[Enpeecee]] desert pyramid is included within the borders of Saltworth, which is labeled as "ruins under investigation".

| ==== Eastern castle ====

| |
| The eastern castle is the larger and older among the two. The structure of the eastern castle is elongated hexagonal-shaped for the most part (except for its library, placed south). The hexagonal structure has a length of about 154 blocks and width of about 70 blocks. The library adds a width of about 30 blocks, which makes the castle about 100 blocks in width. The eastern castle has six towers on its structure, including a keep (central tower) which sits at 88 blocks high (95 with flagpole), as well as roof gardens and roofed crenels.
| |
|
| |
| The castle is accessible from its northern side; its entrance leads straight to the throne room. The throne is made of gold blocks, red wool, and mud bricks, as well as a lever. Upon switching, the lever opens a hole to the dungeons in front of the throne.
| |
|
| |
| ==== Western castle ====
| |
| The western castle's structure consists of a keep with an approximate height of 117 blocks, as well as two wings, each in the keep's west and east, that are diagonal and non-symmetrically placed. The west wing has a length of about 45.2 blocks and tipped with a 126-blocks high tower. However, the west wing tower is shorter in elevation than the keep. Meanwhile, the east wing has a length of about 56.4 blocks and end with a 52-blocks high tower. Overall, the castle has around eight towers. The interior is mostly empty and planned to be constructed. Curvy-shaped farmlands are placed southwest of the castle and might be part of the western castle's complex.

| |
| ==== Fortress Inn ====

| |
| Fortress Inn is an inn located in the midst of the Saltworth urban area, known for its sea view. It is claimed to be among the oldest builds in the city and was originally constructed as a watch tower to observe and spy on pirate activities. As piracy in Saltworth decreased in the modern era, it was repurposed to an inn. The inn is equipped with a central living room, a dining room, a library corner, a wine cellar, three guest rooms, and an innkeeper's room. The inn is 36 blocks tall.
