Baltimare

Location
Baltimare is a city located on the Equestrian East Coast, its parent region Mareland. It is a large coastal city located south of Manehatten, East of Fillydelphia, and resides on the very tip of Horseshoe Bay.

Description
Baltimare is a modern city by old Equestrian standards, where grand spires and skyscrapers pierce into the sky, making it a beacon for its region. Many bridges connect the tall buildings erected by pre-war architects that would connects its highly profitable businesses to enable effective trade. In comparison to other cities of the Equestrian Wasteland, its structure has remained far more intact.

However, Baltimare is widely known for its weather. It is common to witness the city blanketed in thick ominous fogs, that obscure large portions of its once beautiful scenery.

History
It is common knowledge to those in the Equestrian Wasteland that Baltimare was the city of trade for Equestria. Though it is not as well known as Manehatten, this coastal city was the epicenter of international relations, and would receive and send gratuitous amounts of goods and services using its multitude of ships.

However, despite its success, war steadily loomed over the horizon. Tensions increased between the ponies of Equestria, and the zebras of Zebrica over the exchange between Zebrica's coal and Equestria's Gems. This deeply affected trade negotiations within Baltimare.

Once war was declared, demand for firearms increased one-hundred fold. Without proper regulation in place, Baltimare became the world's largest black market ever conceived. By Luna's royal decree, Baltimare was forced to cease all firearms trade, but it was far too late. Citizens of Baltimare became armed to the teeth, despite the royal military presence rapidly spreading across its coasts.

In terms of trans-ocean attack, Baltimare was the first in line.
