Syndar

Shining capital of the Koldari empire, its spires and pyramids of gleaming gold are world-renowned for their legendary beauty.

Demographics

Primarily populated by Dragons, Gryphons and Sergals. The majority of Syndari are extremely wealthy, but still the vast majority live in the slums by the river struggling to make enough money to live. Almost everyone living in Syndar is devoutly Koldari, and taken in by the mythology of their surroundings.

Government

The governance of the city is deeply intertwined with the Koldari religious order, Tuthru herself dictates the running of the city, which is then executed by the high priests and priestesses who run the temples round each of the districts of the city.

Defences

The city is kept safe by a series of high, stone walls lined with state of the art ballistic turrets and kinetic accelerators. These mainly cover the north and east (true west) sides of the city from land-based attacks. There are also naval batteries on the south coast to protect from invasion by sea, and various anti-air emplacements around the city, mainly rocket launchers and steam-cannons.

Industry & Trade

Syndar is the heart of the slave trade, with the highest number of licenced slave-traders of anywhere in the empire. It also makes a lot of money from gambling and prostitution, as these are not only both legal but encouraged by the Koldari religion. A large portion of turnover comes from selling Koldari religious equipment such as prayer-oils and idols, for this reason there are no taxes.

Infrastructure

The most notable structures are the great pyramids, the largest of which is the personal palace of Tuthru. These are big and garish enough that they can be seen from low orbit. There is also the imperial observatory, which resides there with its four domes.
