Akavel
Originally the city-state of Yerend, Akavel was renamed after it was was annexed by the Zira Imperium roughly two hundred years ago. It is the southern-most major hub of the Imperium and the seat of government for the Akavel Administrative Partition.
While it is technically responsible for the defence of the southernmost district of the Imperium, the lands to the south are deserted and the town focuses itself mainly on mining and logging activities to supply the war efforts to the north. Exarch Kurin Tresh is responsible for administering these activities.
Districts
Industrial Precinct ("Ironglow")
Often referred to by the locals as "Ironglow" due to the Ironglow Smelters being by far the largest complex within it, Akavel's industrial precinct handles the processing of ores and the milling of timbers so that they can be shipped off to the craftsmen and factories in Torvoso.
Workforce Habitation ("Rubbleden")
Officially referred to as simply "Workforce Habitation", Rubbleden is a sprawling shanty-town along the eastern side of Akavel that is home to the Subrim, the lowest caste in Imperial society. Located downwind of the Ironglow Smelters smokestacks, this district sits on the ruins of what were once important Yerendi civic buildings. Only a few of those buildings remain standing now, any hints of their former heritage stripped away or defaced.
It has a reputation for being unsafe and it is rare for non-Subrim to chance entering these areas; even the Enforcers are afraid to enter this area unless they enter in force. But the subrim look after their own, and for them these streets are perhaps the safest places in Akavel.
Military Precinct ("Redboot")
The only way in or out of Akavel passes through the Military Precinct. Colloquially known to as "Redboot" (it gets this name from the distinctive red boots of the Imperial Military), it is situated towards the northern end of Akavel and is home to the Barracks, Training Facilities and Prison.
Residential Zone ("Softholme")
The Ziram who reside in Akavel make their homes in the residential precinct, they reside in simple but comfortable wood and brick cottages.
Administrative Precinct ("Highnose")
The Administrative Precinct is the location of main government and administrative offices within Akavel, as well as the residences for members of the Exim.
