Quecani

Demographics

The majority of the population of Quecani are ethnically Barad people, who live on and around the Baradan river, which was named after them, and are separated from the rest of their people by the Corbic-Isendree boarder. The city also has a large Kiam immigrant community, who moved from the Kiamar peninsula.

Government

Quecani is run by a elected official, whose term lasts two years or less if he chooses or is forced to step down. This official, called an Earl, a gender-neutral term, is assisted by a council of elected officials in charge of different offices, which are in turn given charge over different government funded organizations, like schools or the post office. These official are called Sub-Earls, again a gender-neutral term, and hold office for two years but can only be removed by the Earl.

History

Quecani began as a small village and was known as Diolachi. Around the mid-6th century, Diolachi became famous for a young sculpture, Quec Liopdani. At his death, the city was renamed Quecani in his honor. In 710 AnCog, the source of the Baradan River had excessive rain, which in turn flooded the city, sitting at the delta of the river. The city was nearly destroyed. Many buildings were carried away by the river and others became uninhabitable due to mold. Hundreds of people died or went missing. The survivors rebuilt the city and buried their dead in a new cemetery, dedicated to the victims of natural disasters.

Geography

The city of Quecani sits on and around the delta of the Barada River, which is the only part of the river that lies inside the Corbin boarder. Because of the extreme flooding in 710 AnCog, which the river has never fully recovered from, the majority of the city can only be reached by boat. Although the city continues outside of the river delta, that area of the city is much poorer than the delta area.
