Northern District

Admittedly, this is probably the least exciting district in Klodorex. The northern district has two general features of note. One, it’s on the edge of the water table fed by the Biting Bogs, so most of Klodorex’s wells are here. Two, this is the kahoun's "industrial park" to use a blatantly out of place modern phrase.     Razordon Pens   Razordon occasionally freak out and shoot barbs in all direction when spooked by loud noises. Outside the annual Sotek Festivals, the northern district is Klodorex’s quietest district. Except for during aforementioned Sotek celebrations, this is the safest place to keep Razordons. Also the abundance of nearby wells means filling their artificial swamps is quite easy, so the Razordons are very comfortable here.   Holy Sites   Klodorex houses a lot of Sotek shrines, but only one Temple of Sotek. During the aftermath of the Clan Pestilens War, the Northern District had the most unused space, so this was where Skinks clamored to build a big stepped temple to Sotek here. It’s bigger than every temple except the Great Temple and the later built Temple of Xholanka (which as mentioned is a near perfect replica of the Great Temple). Not much more to say, Skinks gather to worship Sotek here. They have a sacrificial altar and modest sized courtyard near it. For safety and convenience, most Sotek sacrifices are outside the Klodorex kahoun limits but captured enemy leaders are sometimes brought here.   Less imposing but much older is the Temple of Potec. Pointed towards true north, it symbolically protects Klodorex from the northern Chaos Gate, emphasis is on the word symbolic. If the Slann or Skink priests want protective wardings that work, they go to the mountaintop temples. This temple is just for what we called “hope.” Lizardmen will gather near the temple to pray to Potec for protection during times of woe.   Everything Else   Worker caste Skinks easily make up the largest demographic in Klodorex but the northern district is really where they are large and in charge. The northern district is the center of industry. If something is constructed and doesn’t involve kiln fired pottery or bronze working, it’s here.   If collected wood isn’t destined to be fire fuel, it’s worked into boards for construction or shafts for tool and weapon handles in the northern district. The tools and weapons are crafted here in the northern district. Obsidian or other stone is shaped or sculpted here. Blowpipes are shaped here. Darts, arrows, and javelins are assembled here. Baskets, textiles, and ropes are woven together here. Animal fat is rendered into candles and soap here. Leather is cured here. You get the idea, if it’s crafted, shaped, or processed, it’s probably made in the northern district.   If meat or harvested produce is consumed fresh it goes straight into Klodorex’s hungry mouths, but if food needs to be pickled, dried, cured for consumption later, the food is processed somewhere in the north district. Speaking of food, the northern district produces a lot of food too. The staple crops are in massive fields surrounding the Kahoun, but the herb gardens and fruit orchards are scattered about the city and at least half the “urban” gardens are in the northern district. In addition to the gardens, the northern district has a few insect hatcheries and fungus farms, particularly since the northern district is pretty damp. The underground water table fed by the Biting Bogs and the rain that falls upon it extends to the northern portion of Klodorex.
