History

The city of Val'enkash is another of the older cities within the Empire. The area of the floodplains was settled second after Pov'rakea in the north, and offered much food to the growing populace, exploding the settlements and people outwards over the plains.

The houses of villagers and workers here are complex wooden contraptions. Not the best of living conditions. Tightly packed and intricately woven for maximum housing area for living quarters, daily routines are very rarely private inside the city walls. Outside however, the wide open fields over much solace from the cramped lifestyle

Geography

Built upon rolling flat plains and floodplains, the city itself is built upon land that floods on a regular basis from the coastal rains to the east, and the rainwater from the west.
