Dradinu has no magical university and their sigraxes are all generalists.

The more numerous and influential among this races being the uacatai, a centauroid specie with three pairs of legs.
32. Iborn, The Dragon City.
Iborn is a non human city founded by dragons more than a million years ago on the Crescent Moon Peninsula (which by the time was a high plateau, not a peninsula). Back them dragons where far more common on the skies of Sharitarn, but still less numerous than many other non human species of involuntary immigrants. Most inhabitants of Iborn where humans, but even the free human men of Iborn where seemed by the human cities as little more than slaves: religious fanatics worshiping their living gods. When the City of Dragons was abandoned by the last parent of Xiirsh it felt in the hands of enemies and was left in ruins. The survivors embraced a life of nomadic hunters, formed tribes, and felt into a very primitive way of life. After the events told on The Last Brother a dragon came back to the ruins, and hearing about that humanoid tribes begun as movement to retake their old Nation. Few decades later the vortex tuned a planet controlled mostly by a specie of wyvern. Those smaller and less powerful parents identified themselves with the dragons, and vice-versa, so many are flying to Iborn looking for citizenship.
33. Angarpa The Crimson Necropolis.
City in the Main Continent where all citizens are undead. Founded as a colony from citizens of Mimbao. Is the most open know trading port among the Necropolis (in Sharitarn the term refers to cities whit Mage Universities where Necromants_ magic users who follow the Way of Necromancy_ are formed). To call it a "touristic" destination, or culturally influential in global scale, would be too much of a stretch but those undead necromancers certainly welcome visitors a lot better, and more frequently, than the necromancers of xenophobic Lauvriim. Or even those of Mimbao, a city that in some past was called "The Hearth Home of all Sailors".
Located downriver from Erevy the nation is heavily influenced by Elven culture.

Non Human Cities:


Alkavalla: Already mentioned here, it was first build by the extinct frog-people allies of the tree-people (the ungnuie). Rebuild by a new alliance made by the ungnuie with the forest people. The forest people's planet was the one tuned by the Vortex before it last transition, since them Earth became the tuned planet. That happened between the Earthling years 1500 and 1700, what is very recent in the eyes of the Scholars Castes of Sharitarn.
Technically Alkavalla can be classified as a human city. Because most consider the forest people a variant of human specie, despite relevant organic differences when compared to other human groups. From outsiders point of view looks like that forest men are the only ones ruling on their city. That impression in a mistake caused by the human tendency to look things from a human scale of time. A better understanding of the dynamic of power on Alkavalla shows that the ungnuie have the last word on any subject they choose to influence, but those subjects are few and the moments when they became relevant emerge rarely. Most days the ungnuie follow whatever the forest people decide.

Iborn: The Dragon City
Founded by dragons a little before the beginning of the Imperial Age (two million years before the time of Altair). The Imperial Age lasted about 100 thousand years and during that period Iborn flourished on the Crescent Moon Peninsula as the capital of the smaller Empire on the Continent. Despite it's size The Nation ruled from City of Dragons was among the most powerful on the planet, and in some periods even the main force.
No external enemy destroyed Iborn. Eventually the dragons who build it felt victim of depression, homesick. They abandoned their human and non human followers and left to live the rest of their long existences in solitude, alone or in couples. Used to serve the dragons as half-slaves and half religious zealots the citizens of Iborn saw themselves incapable to fight the numerous weaker enemies and administrate their land at same time. The fall of old Iborn was inevitable and happened a little after the end of the Imperial Age.
New Iborn is founded by Xiirsh, a young female dragon, few years after the end of the war between Shirshan, Lutianen and the wild kingdom of the giant Zaiaz. During this war Xiirsh faced his second change, a natural organic process for her specie. She lost the humanoid shape to gain the general form of a dragon, still smaller than an adult and sexually undifferentiated but capable of fly and spit a potent corrosive substance on her foes. The young lady dragon decided to retake the land where she had lived with her brother during most Imperial Age, but would have failed if the vortex had not started his new period of transition.
Among the many races brought by the chaotic and intensified activity of the vortex was a specie of intelligent wyverns who answered the call of Xiirsh ignored by her last remaining relatives still alive on Sharitarn.
Erevi, The Elven City:

Obuju Cities:
Aquibar, Pitaque and Quiquia: all three are on the North Coast of the Main Continent, East to the Crescent Moon Peninsula and West to the Ice Bridge. Relatively close to each other they face threats from other species as a single force, but fight among themselves constantly.
(Obuju are a race that remind human hyenas, one of the few races of talking mammals naturally dominated by females).

Aquibar, The Matriarch:
It is the largest city, and the first nation seemed for those who came from Iborn. Is also the oldest, first refugee of obuju clans of involuntary immigrant escaping slavery in human cities.
The sigraxes of Aquibar follow the Breeder Way of magic, a derivation of the Healer Way focused on spells made during conception or pregnancy to generate new species of animals and of slaves. They created the Mountain-Gorillas to serve as mounts and beasts of burden using that magic. Aquibar is located on the top or a mountain, surrounded by a terrain where is very hard to travel, and despite that keeps regular commerce with the other obuju cities thanks to the Mountain Gorillas.
Citizens of Aquibar believe they have the right of rule over the other two cities, as a capital of two provinces. Those who live on the other Estate Cities don't share that believe.

Pitaque, The City of Light:
Youngest Obuju nation Pitaque lies between the other two, and is the only Port City in the region. The name came from the ice sculptures made by it's artists, and by ones made by sea animals on the many icebergs visible from the port of Pitaque during the reproductive season. Light seems to dance around those cold prisms in what is considered for many one of the most beautiful spectacles on the planet.
Pitaque is the less cruel obuju nation, according to other talking species. The North West sea is extremely dangerous for navigation and the region is far too cold for human comfort, when magic is not used, but still some human captains came here to make commerce and hide from their enemies.

Quiquia,
