Sirakun
An oasis town in the Star-Strewn Sands, on the main land route between Draconia and Elion.
Demographics
Sirakun, like the rest of the Sapphire Margin, is populated by a mix of races from across Elion. Among these races, High Elves and Hill Dwarves predominate, but the town also contains a significant minority of Phyyginites and Hillfolk, drawn to the town for their own reasons. In spite of the town's diversity, most of the landowners and wealthy, powerful individuals in the town are High Elves, many sponsored by magister companies with an interest in the town.
Government
Ruled over by Founder Raphel, who founded the town, and the Settler's Council, which is made up of powerful citizens who have bought into the governing structure.
Infrastructure
In spite of its small size, Sirakun's infrastructure is well-built, including a fine paved main road and a circular plaza next to the oasis which includes a water pump and occasional stalls. The oasis is also tapped from all directions by irrigation channels and qanats which bring water to the outermost farms and distributed pumps throughout the town.
Natural Resources
Large-scale agriculture is supported by a seemingly unending supply of water from the oasis at the center of town. Like the rest of the Star-Strewn Sands, there are also occasional gemstones found near the town after heavy rains, though in greater abundance due to the town's low elevation.
