Zal'nesh

The Military powerhouse of the Empire along its outer ring settlements. The city itself is small and run by a by comparison to other large cities small number of people. The trade that comes through here is generally light, but is often vital military supplies or rations. Zal'nesh is one of the few cities in the outer ring that has trade routes, as most do not go further north of the area.

Demographics

The people here are generally all under a similar class, those their races are varied and include more exotic or darker races normally not found further in. Simple folks trying to make any sort of living by working with the Empire and their military dealings.

Government

Martial Law. The center of military strength in the Outer Ring and edges of the Empire does not often need much aid in protecting or governing itself with the heavy troop presence. All business, shops, workers, and trade is all military minded here.

Defences

The defenses here are impressive. Much of the military might that is moved here via ground forces is stationed here for a while along the inner reaches of the walls that stretch outwards for a good duration, giving ample storage and housing room for soldiers. Aside from the high walls and heavy seige weapons placed upon them, the military numbers here are impressive, even if they do not remain long.

Industry & Trade

No industry happens here, but trade here is light and limited to things brought in, and very little shipped out

Infrastructure

The main structures of the city are a large aqueduct filled with water from the wells beneath the land, and a large watch tower that keeps tabs over much of the surrounding lands.

History

Zal'nesh was originally a small trading outpost on the northern reaches of the peaceful grasslands. When the dark skies above began, the city became more and more fortified as dark creatures began wandering. Eventually, it was brought into the Empire and made into a military staging point for their operations and has grown ever since

Architecture

The architecture here is often built for function rather than beauty. Darker colors and heavier materials line the defenses, while the buildings, towers, and other objects are made with strong weather-resistant materials and usually carved from stones and lain into the ground heavily.

Geography

Zal'nesh exists on a wide-open plain. Flat and stretching for miles around with a wide view of the short mountain passes in the distance from a few directions. The sky above is always dark here, and never abates.

Natural Resources

Very little natural resources left after the many years of use in combat, aside from the water deep in wells. Though mines below still exist and are often left abandoned...who knows what could reside there.
