Cosiax
One of the longest standing cities within Sacriel, Cosiax sits within the northwestern portions of the isle continent. Situated underneath the base of the Spine, the southern Spine Bay is often used as a means of travel by smaller boats towards other coastal cities and to get deeper into Sacriel through the Dethvale. One of the most culturally significant cities within Sacriel, nearly every major faction has a stake in this place. The beautiful cherry blossom trees blanket the city in a shower of pink petals during the months of Mar and Abril, and the region enjoys nice temperate weather throughout the year.
Resources
Next to the Spine Mine Mountain Line, Cosiax has ample access to the Realms down Under. Having established friendly trades with local Arach'ni tribes and Rogue Zwe'sect companies, the city enjoys quality silken threads and honey. Rich deposits of silver, gold, and gemstones are mined frequently, and show no signs of shortage arriving anytime soon. The Spinal Ruins to the west was also once thoroughly mined, though protection efforts through the decades have put a stop to that. The cherry blossom trees that seem to be a Sacriel special are all throughout the lands near Cosiax. The wood they produce is used in artisan furnishing, and the berries are considered a delicacy amongst avian kind. The soil around the northwestern hemisphere is also of excellent quality, and fields of food are produced, distributed, and sold within the various markets of Sacriel. Due to it's central location and access to the Spine Bay, Cosiax is a center of trade. Many different goods come through the city. The people of the city can also be considered a resource, the great racial diversity of beastfolk that live there providing many different talents. The underworld being so close by, a large bay with river and ocean access, pleasant weather and winds, Cosiax is the capital of Sacriel for a reason.Places of Interest
