Svarga

The megalopolis, Svarga, is the Eastern most city of the Eastlands and is widely considered it's true capital. It is the second oldest known city in the land and is home to many libraries, industry giants, the Temple of the Sun, and The Matriarchy. Due to access to fresh water, rich mines, sea ports, thriving forest, and mostly temperate weather throughout the year it's not surprising that many have equated Svarga to a paradise.

Demographics

The majority of the population is actually comprised of humans despite the fact that the ruling class is mostly comprised of loxodon. Svarga being the largest open city in the Eastlands though makes it a variable mixing pot of cultures to the points it's not too surprising to encounter any race you might imagine.

Government

Svarga is run by The Matriarchy a theological oligarchy.

Geography

Svarga unlike most of the Eastlands has the luxury of having a bordering coast to the east, tropical forests and mountainous area to the north and south, and vast grasslands to the west of the city.

Climate

Svargans are no strangers to the odd sandstorm that pushes too far past the Haathee Grasslands but it is far more common that they worry about monsoons during the wet season. Svargans enjoy temperate weather throughout most of the year only experiencing extreme humidity towards the start of wet season and extreme heat during the middle of dry season.
