Southpoint

Demographics

Most of Southpoint is inhabited by the middle and lower classes. Racially it is inhabited by mostly Dwarves with a smaller demographic of Humans and Kenku.

Government

Southpoint as well as with the rest of the Imperium is an Authoritative State where the local military who doubles as city guard uphold the law on the streets in accordance to Cairn's laws. If one is to be tried in court they are moved to Cadguard to face trial. Honored Ones of Cairn serve as judge, jury, and executioner in court. Taxation in Southpoint, and the Imperium as a whole is quite high; 62% across the board for all citizens with slaves being exempt as they are not true Imperial citizens. Due to the high taxation rates most things for citizens are accommodated for them. Housing, food, jobs, education, and healthcare are provided for all, slaves included.

Defences

The village itself is guarded only by its large host of Ebon Corps garrison. 1 in 5 people in Southpoint are a part of the Southpoint Ebon Corps detachment.

Industry & Trade

Most citizens here are working class men and women, mostly farmers, and tradesmen typically working with stone or gem pulled from the Mines of Orzanmar. Southpoint mostly imports metals to work into jewelry using the gems of the near-by Orzanmar. It exports food and most notably some of the finest jewelry to be found in Aeroloth.

Infrastructure

Southpoint has been a large hub for jewelcrafting and jewel exporting due to its short distance to Orzanmar. It also is home to a company that uses the small break in the Razorback Peaks to run expeditions into the Dead Wastes in search of old pre-6E artifacts. Due to this group of explorers the town of Southpoint also hosts a large museum hosting many artifacts recovered by the expedition crews.

Assets

Southpoint has two large assets; Firstly, its gem refinery called Cold Cut which is solely responsible for the gem wealth of the Imperium but is also know for its master stone setters who do commission work for the populace as well. And lastly the Hall of Reflection, a massive museum dedicated to artifacts recovered from the Dead Wastes. The museum is noted to be one of the few places worth visiting the Imperium for to most tourists of the Imperium.

Guilds and Factions

The expeditionary group known as the Shamblers is one of two major factions in Southpoint. They are known travelling into the Dead Wastes and recovering lost artifacts of the Old Imperium. They venture out to collect items worth value to sell to traders and collectors who have the money to enjoy such luxuries.
Secondly there is the Orzanmar Representatives League which doubles as both the Embassy for Orzanmar, and is also the merchant guild of Southpoint with a tight grasp on the control of Orzanmar's gems. To buy gems from Orzanmar one must always first go through the Orzanmar Representatives League.

Architecture

Unlike the rest of the Imperium most buildings here are not made of Blacksteel but stone and wood due to its distance from major Blacksteel exporters. Although since the Imperium discovered the use of airships this problem has been circumvented. Many buildings around Southpoint are in the process of being renovated with Blacksteel exteriors.

Geography

Southpoint sits near to the river Dunmar consisting of mainly rolling hills with patches of forest scattered about.

Natural Resources

The main natural resources of Southpoint are its livestock, grains, stone, fish, and a meager amount of wood.
