Kinhark: The First City of Nilsof
This was the first city created by men and orcs although not by choice. When the recently liberated first fled to Wexum those that were left behind had no choice but to survive the onslaught of their former masters that had caused so many to flee. Over time this simply defended settlement built from necessity became a City that would be the welcome resting place for Nikandrios's mortal shell. If the founders could see it today they would weep at the wasted potential.

History
This city was built to weather attacks from the broken Unseelie Court and their Elfkin who had reformed into the Red Empire after many failed attempts by the Empire to break the walls by sea they decided to retreat to the lands that they held and use their longevity to their advantage by waiting for less competent humans to come into power. When they thought the time had come they chose to cross by way of land which lead to The Mighty and Everlasting Matok the Overseer leading the final charge that pushed the Red Empire past the Forrest of the Fall and lead to their dissolution into many states with the Republic of Kenebkez being the only true remnants of the Empire. The city with this history of resilience has still never fallen to any enemy forces.
Architecture
The architecture is simple and practical here. Very few buildings extend higher than the 3rd floor with the exception of The Tower of Eyes which extends beyond the clouds.
Geography
It is near the edge of the Never Sleeping Sea on a peninsula and as such regularly experiences severe storms.
