	The people, like most found across the Tapestry are friendly and willing to aid the new arrivals to the land and help them get settled. They are exceedingly patient, as their population nearly quadruples every spring for the market boom and festival that accompanies it. To them, if The Skald really wants something to happen, it will no matter how much they push back. This laissez-faire attitude, along with their general open mindedness has made the area a refuge for some and a point to avoid for others.

		+	While there is a contingency of guards for the city, they aren't numerous. Given how open minded a lot of Chanson locals are, and a general lax attitude in regards to illegality, the guard's job tends to focus more on mediation and fines than authority and arrests. More severe crimes are usually met with expulsion from Chanson, regardless of the time of year.

-Chanson's culture is very relaxed about almost anything under the sun and moon.  So much so that, while the island isn't lawless, there are very few restrictions imposed on it's residents and visitors.  The important laws of the royals still apply, but most of the silly or petulant laws simply aren't enforced in Chanson.  Prostitution is legal and isn't looked down upon,  the use of recreational drugs is fine,and generally speaking: If what you're doing isn't causing another harm, it's probably okay.

-Since its inception nearly 300 years ago, Chanson Isolée has rather profoundly remained outside of the public eye by and large. This makes the island's history a rather boring and long one that would take years of reading through their scholarly texts to truly unravel.
+Since its inception nearly 300 years ago, Chanson Isolée has rather profoundly remained outside of the public eye. This has mired the island's history with mystery and speculation, while also showcasing the seemingly large amount of nothing that has happened here.  The points scholarly texts may argue over in their long winded fashion is exciting usually only to the most diehard historian.
-It is believed that it was founded by Geof Chase, a studious hermit.  History says he and his guild (whose name has been lost to time) built the fortress of Chanson in order to remove themselves from any lingering after effects related to the fall of the Virtuosos. At the highest point on the island, they built luxurious chateau to act as their guild's base. As whispers of his island fortress grew, so too did the interest of a few other hermit minded citizens of The Tapestry.

As whispers of his island fortress grew, so too did the interest of a few other hermit minded citizens of The Tapestry.
-Eventually, it is believed that in-fighting caused Geof's guild to disband and for many decades the chateau at the top of Chanson would never have a successful guild occupy it.  So numerous were these failures, that eventually the locals and even the scholars stopped noticing and recording them.  Eventually, the Nobile of other guilds took it over and converted it into a finishing school for the aristocracy.  After all, with so many intelligent philosophers and academics all in one place, it seemed only a natural step for Chanson to become the seat of higher education in the Tapestry. It was only about bout two decades ago, in the year 1997, ago when they were all moved and locked away in the Manor in Inizio D'Oro.  The reasoning for this Primo Uomo's decision was never explained, but life continued fairly uninterrupted in Chanson.

 In recent history, Candidature 9 has been the only head guild to be able to hold onto its position.  Established in the year 2017 by Ignace Poirier and Hester (no last name given), Candidature 9 has found themselves mostly well received by the public.

However, you are likely to encounter guild members providing sample glasses of their wares on the ground level, as well as a mysterious force that will always make sure you have more drink if you want it, but only when no one is looking at your glass.

-The lower hamlet is what greets all visitors when they first enter.  This level of the city is largely dedicated to merchants, sales, restaurants, and the occasional very narrow and cramped alley way that is used for extra storage.  This is also where the bulk of travelers stay, as locals rent out their rooms like a boarding house during the warmer months as another means of making income to afford the colder ones.

+The second highest level in the town, the Upper Hamlet has access to more light throughout the day as it is generally above the stone wall's height that surrounds the city.  Overtime, this area has developed into a mostly residential area, housing those who have done well for themselves here as well as a few boutiques.  The buildings are still crammed as tightly together as those on the lower hamlet, and all are welcome on this level without prejudice.

+This small park is located in the upper hamlet and is the only space besides the Cheateau on the island dedicated to bringing a bit of green to the rocky island.  The island was established well after the founding of Chanson, supposedly as a means to help increase tourism, despite nothing exceptional actually being placed here.
 The park itself is ever so slightly hilly, allowing for a nice stone stair feature and small flower garden as a center piece. Tall trees provide some amount of shade, benches line the short walking path, and there are a few spots of grass large enough for a few couples each to picnic on without being too close to one another.
