Felhook

Originally a small Tiefling fishing community pre-unification, Felhook has grown into a sizeable town as culturally diverse as Highburg. The charming hamlet was a popular place for those fatigued by the war to start anew, and it's proved to be a quiet replacement to the crowded streets of the capitol.
Before the end of the Astagua-Vescania War, Felhook was used as a hospital-town for Astaguan casualties. Its proximity to the immobilized Vescanians in the Kille Plains made the transfer of wounded and recovered forces a simple affair.
Astonishingly, Vescania never passed north of the Havswallow River for the entirety of the conflict, leaving Felhook and the other villages and lands of the Iaak entirely untouched.

Districts

Crid'ahaile

Crid'ahaile (pronounced cree-DAH-lay) is the center of Felhook and heart of the Tiefling population. The architecture shares some of the abberant features of Iaakas, but has been updated to share some Human architecture since unification.
Most of the Iaak have set up some type of shop in Crid'ahaile and while others are permitted to open storefronts, the needs of Felhook are met by what's already offered. A small branch from the Havswallow River cuts through Felhook and the east side of the district.

Calah'daich

Calah'daich spans the oceanfront of Felhook and contains the harbor and most taverns in town. It is vivacious, crowded, and full of travelers. There aren't many but the tavern owners and harbor workers that call Calah'daich home, but they take good care of the area and it's fairly clean place to visit.
To this day, it remains the most popular port for Halflings of Etxera to leave the country and set off into the world; because of this, it is a common sight to see bitter farewells and excited adventurers.

Aid'ith

West of Crid'ahaile is Aid'ith, the district which most non-Tiefling residents call home. A strange place to visit, it shares architectural influence from every race in Astagua. Many wounded veterans in the field hospital, unfit to return to combat, found themselves delighted at the beauty of the surrounding area. Having lost their familes to the war, they saw fit to contribute to Felhook as thanks for the treatment of their injuries, beginning the multicultural construction of Aid'ith.
Aid'ith lacks any large business enterprise, though there are fairs and celebrations frequently as the various cultures there celebrate together. Aid'ith, and really Felhook as a whole, is a hidden gem in Vals'kar, and likely the closest thing to a utopia that's existed since the Godwar.

The districts in Felhook share a unique naming convention with Iaakas. The Iaak, long before their introduction to Common, spoke Kainan. To this day, they still speak it amongst themselves when they desire private conversations. Few non-Tieflings know the language, and those that do are treated with the utmost respect by the Iaak.
