Mishigami
The only major port town on the eastern edge of the Alo lands, run by 5 representatives, called the Council of Elders.
Mishigami, being the most cosmopolitan Alona city, is the most open to the outside world. Many people from all over Elyria come here to reside, and find life here quite peaceful. The population is largely pescatarian, relying on the fresh seafood of the surrounding bay, the fertile open fields of the north and west, and the imports from foreign lands.
Government
Mishigami is governed by the Council of Elders, some of the more experienced and generally older members of the community, and each council member is from each of the Alo clans. The Councilors generally have equal say in all issues of governance, though some clan leaders are more well known for their special interests.

Still, he holds a pretty tight leash on what the local craftspeople can export out.Infrastructure
The buildings of Mishigami are done in a very classically Alona style, but with some influence from the Yana Inti. With energy for the city largely drawing from natural sources instead of magical means. It's common to see windmills and waterwheels here. Many of their buildings are built from mud brick and stone. In square step pyramids with open roofs covered with canvas for shade.
The buildings are often decorated with the symbols of the clan that each family hails from, but being near the coast, it's also common to see shell mosaics and driftwood used as decor.
Districts
The city itself is shaped roughly like a thick crescent. With the Propitious Bay to the east and southeast, and the Fields of Plenty to the north and west. The Three Sisters Highway leads out of the city from two points; from the west, cutting through the farmlands, or from the southwest.
