The City of Azgrimmar
"Not for a lack of effort, we have never been able to breach the walls of Azgrimmar... The orcs may be barbarious bastards, but they sure know how to build!" - Unknown Gondolian General
Demographics
80 % orcs, 10% dwarves, 10% other
Government
The Queendom of Azgrimmar is a matriarchy, and has been since the orcs came to The Isles of Elementiz over 1000 years ago. Many a queen has come and gone since then, but none has been so imfamous as Queen Keira Kel'Taz. She is also the longest living monarch Azgrimmar has ever had.
Defences
The city is protected by thick redstone walls with several towers that surrounds the entire innland part of the city, with 2 big gates, one to the north, and one to the west of the city. In the center you have the Hall of the Queen, that is also surrounded by thick stone walls and two gates, with 4 guarding towers. There is also a gate leading down to the docks. The city is naturally guarded by cliffs from the sea. There is also the fort of Clan Kel'Taz, guarding the city atop of the cliffs south-east of town, the fort of Clan Kur'Tan just north of the dock-gates, and the district of Clan Kor'Tek, protected by traditional wooden palisades, towers and a keep. This city has never fallen to invading forces.
Industry & Trade
Guilds and Factions
The city is governed by three major factions, or more precisely Clans. Clan Kur'Tan, Clan Kor'Tek, and Clan Kel'Taz.
Queen Kiera is of the Kel'Taz clan, and thus they are the most powerfull and influential in the city. Historically they have mostly been the clan in power. They value spirituality, wisdom and knowledge, and is a house of both tradition and one seeking progress. They have a strong connection to the elements.
Clan Kur'Tan is the newest of the three clans in power. They believe that tradition is in the way of progress, and therefore they really stick out in the Azgrimmarian society.
Clan Kor'Tek is a clan of strong traditions and honor. They cling to the old traditions and values, and seek to protect it at all cost. Historically they have been the most warmongering of the clans, and they are often at odds with Clan Kur'Tan. This is probably why Clan Kel'Taz mostly stays in power, serving as a balancing force between the two.
Architecture
The architecture of the city is very asian in style. But traditionally the orcs have lived in crude wooden structures, with intimidating spikes and bones as part of the structures. Clan Kor'Tek still sticks to this style of architecture, and have actually built themselves a district of their own, where they still live like they used to in the old days.
Natural Resources
The citys main natural resources is various types of fish and whale, and various ore and gems from the surrounding mountains. They are particularly known for the Orichalcum ore , wich they mainly use for their arms and armor.
