Kedesh

Sometimes called the “Free City,” Kedesh is an independent city-state located on the southern coast where the Thannaz River meets the Cape of Good Fortune. The only truly cosmopolitan city in the South, Kedeshites pride themselves on their diplomacy and willingness to trade with anyone, regardless of nationality, race, or religion.

Demographics

Mainly human, but with a myriad of other species represented among the population. Most of the non-native humans and members of other races occupy a district known as the Foreign Quarter, or, more colloquially, Midnight's Muddle.

Government

The city-state is ruled by a King, Hruz, and a High Council. The council oversees an expansive bureaucracy that governs the day to day business of the city.

Defences

Kedesh maintains both a militia and a navy to guard its protectorates and the waters of the Cape of Good Fortune. The militia extends outside to the city walls to far reaching protectorates such as Ludon and Blackwall Keep.

Industry & Trade

Kedesh, a great trade port in its own right, fashions many of the weights and measures, and artisans' tools that are needed in Balekir and further afield. So famed are their instruments that for much of Anoria's merchants they set and maintain the weights and standards on which much trade is based.

Guilds and Factions

The Seekers of Anoria consider Kedesh their headquarters. Kedesh also has several prominent thieves guilds. Loris Raknian, owner of the Free City Arena, holds quite a bit of sway in local dealings.
