City, the
"Bloody Hell if I ain't never seen nothin' like it. Ever'thin' you could ever want or need stuffed into a shinin' white shell. I reckon it'll either be the greatest city in the world or the greatest ruin, fit fer plunderin'." -- Unknown
The capital city of Akkadia, and indeed the only true city in the entire island nation. Situated along the island's southern coast, the City is a pentagonal, walled, and about 6 square miles (about 2.5 x 2.5 miles). Five main districts, and a sixth central district, make up the city, and each district is separated by 20 foot high walls with gated checkpoints. Additionally, outside the City's walls, the southern rim of the city is dominated by a sprawling natural harbor, around which is built shipyards, warehouses, merchant houses, taverns, and all manner of other businesses.
The population is around 50,000, with humans as the most dominant race by far. Elves and dwarves each have their own districts within the City, and other races try to make their homes amongst the humans as best they can.
