Western District
Right before the Slann went missing, one of the Slann said “improve the constructions.” The Slanns’ intention was to have the repair the damage that occurred from a recent Storm of Magic, and the Slann figured this would take two or three years at most, but the Slann were gone for almost two hundred years. The Skink priests blindly kept relaying orders to build at first figuring the Slann would reappear when they were satisfied by their building. Even when they realized that the Slann were actually missing, they kept the builders building to keep everyone distracted. Most of the boondoggle construction occurred in the Western District, so while underutilized builidngs are common in most of Klodorex, the western district has the bulk of buildings that are empty or only used at partial capacity here.
Holy Sites
The Western District only has three major holy sites worth mentioning. The biggest and most obvious is the Temple of Huanchi. Per tradition, the Temple of Huanchi is in the city’s westernmost area because west is the direction of the setting sun. The Temple of Huanchi is the oldest construction in the Western district. Since the Kahoun gradually expanded in a westerly direction that means the Temple of Huanchi is more center west than far west now. The Temple of Huanchi used to have a wide open plaza that used to be the widest open space within the Klodorex Kahoun limits. After centuries of new building in the Western District, the plaza is about half the size of what it used to be. There is talk about relocating the Temple of Huanchi farther west with a new wider plaza but at the moment everyone is sick of massive building projects, so that renovation has been put off till later, if not indefinitely.
The second most holy site in the Western district is the Tribute to the Fallen. West is the considered the direction of death in a vague metaphysical sense and Huanchi is the Old One most commonly associated with as a custodian to the dead, so the memorial is nearby. In a literal sense, most major battles Klodorex is involved with occur to the west, so again it’s appropriate to have the monument to fallen here. The growth of the memorial is part of the reason the Plaza of Huanchi is now smaller.
The third holy site worth mentioning is the Shrine of Xapati, the Old One of Vegeance. Xapati received his first public shrine shortly after the devastating first Dark Elf attack on Klodorex, just outside the Kahoun limits. Now it’s technically within city limits. More scandalously it’s west of the temple of Huanchi, but it’s not technically a temple, it’s a shrine, so this is allowed.
Everything Else
What characterizes the Western district is a lot of empty or half-full buildings. Most of the non-Temple Guard Saurus bunk here, as do some Skinks. This is mostly storage and sleeping quarters that lie unused. There is a small drive to begin hoarding nonperishable goods in the Western Quarter. This is primarily but not exclusively applied to stocking up on extra weapons.
