Tlaxcala

The city of currents. Tlaxcala is a city built at the intersection of several powerful ocean currents, giving it a central location for trade and transportation. The city is known for its bustling marketplaces and merchants.
Tlaxcala is home to a sizable population of non-Tlahtocoyatl spies and traders who have infiltrated the city in order to gain access to its unique knowledge and resources. The city's leaders are aware of this, but are often unable to distinguish friend from foe, leading to a climate of suspicion and paranoia.

Defences

Elaborate underwater fortifications and traps designed to disrupt enemy currents and protect against infiltration. A powerful navy patrols the city's borders.
Tlaxcala's navy is particularly adept at navigating the complex and often treacherous currents of the region, allowing them to outmaneuver and defeat larger enemy fleets.

Industry & Trade

Fishing, agriculture, and trade in rare oceanic plants and animals. The city is also a center of knowledge and research, particularly in the fields of oceanic currents and aquatic life.

Tourism

The city is also known for its impressive coral gardens, which are carefully tended by the city's residents and attract visitors from across the region

Architecture

The city is designed to take advantage of the powerful currents that flow through the region, with buildings and structures arranged in a spiraling pattern that mirrors the natural flow of the water. The structures are made of a combination of coral, seaweed, and specially treated shells that create a smooth, pearl-like surface.
