Hayadinū Tīlab

The City of Order

History

The first city built by mortal kind on Sarcesta, built around the holy throne of Artoria Ordo, the creation of Hayadinū Tīlab marks the beginning of the first era of history. It has grown to be the largest city in Prikari Taru, home to almost every sentient species present in the world. Hayadinū Tīlab was the location of the final battle in the war against the apocalypse of Necropolis. During this battle a scar was cut through the earth into the city, leaving a massive ravine and the remains of Artoria Ordo in the city to remind the citizens of what price was once paid for their safety.
At the dawn of known history, Hayadinū Tīlab was built to protect the worshippers of Artoria Ordo. The construction of Hayadinū Tīlab began the Era of the First City, when most of Prikari Taru's citizens resided in the walls of the city of order.

Government & Economy

Government

Led by the position of governor, Hayadinū Tīlab allows its citizens to vote for who they believe should hold the position of governor. After this election, the governor assigns vacant positions in their government to who they deem fit. The citizens are given a small amount of say in the passing of laws and enforcement of those laws, but generally it is the governor who has the power to dictate the future of Hayadinū Tīlab.

It might be better than a monarchy, but only maginally so. I care little for what their elites say, all a governor is is a king with an approval rating. Let the people speak if you want a real government.

— Edgar Halcien III

Defenses

Hayadinū Tīlab maintains a standing army of volunteers. This army is responsible for the defense of all of Tarū Tīlab. Their primary garrison is built into the towering wall that goes through Hayadinū Tīlab, with the headquarters of the Ordo Army located at the center of the city. A towering wall used to surround the city, constructed to protect them from the ever present monstrous threats and the encroaching birth of Necropolis' foul beasts. Unfortuantely, the rapid growth of Arteria forced the city to expand past the wall, leaving the wall to divide Hayadinū Tīlab in two.

What little they produce through agriculture is reserved for the city itself, most agricultural produce utilized by Hayadinū Tīlab is imported from neighboring nations.
