New Bataar City

Demographics

Though tourists and merchants are allowed in to the city and conduct business, only Tiefling kind are allowed to take up residence in New Bataar, so the demographic is 100% Tiefling of all ages.  

City itself is partitioned into 5 different areas:

  • Hell's Kitchen
  • Devil's Commons
  • Cania town
  • Avernus Avenue
  • Belial Industrial Park

Government

Oligarchy put in place and ran by the family "Moonridge", who founded the city originally.   Because of the varied circumstances of their births, most tieflings become adults without knowing another of their kind. Given their scattered heritage and tendency toward evil, tieflings mistrust each other, while at the same time wanting another of their kind near to experience a limited kinship. With these facts in mind, laws were put into play that cater to the latter while protecting the former.  

The laws that govern the city include policies such as:


  • City wide policy that every person who enters the city must wear a specialized bracelet provided to them at the time of entry. This bracelet is magically embued and makes it restricts ones ability to exert hostile behavior towards one another. This does not include verbal aggresion, only physical acts of violence whether in motion or pre-determined causality.
  • Any Tiefling with a direct and active tie to one of the rulers of hell, must first undergo investigation before being permitted citizenship. This is to prevent unnecessary infernal invaders and unwanted malicious manipulation (knowingly or unbeknownst)
  • Demons nor Devils are allowed as pets in New Bataar. Equally so, they cannot be registered as therapy fiends. Any Tiefling with an infernal or abyssal pet will be prosecuted for endangering those around them.
  • All Tieflings in the city are equal regardless of ancestral bloodline, plane of origin or gender. Racism of any kind is prohibited in the city and will be dealt with on a case by case basis
  • New Bataar is not a refuge for criminals and will not extend any sort of immunity to those running from the law in any kingdom currently a part of the United Kingdom pact.
  • Guilds and factions are allowed to work within the city limits so long as they are in good standing with the government of New Bataar.
  • Medical attention and counseling will be provided for any law abiding Tiefling without the need for compensation for services rendered. Non-Tiefling races may only be permitted this benefit if vouched for by a citizen whose current residence is in New Bataar

Defences

On top of the cliffs that New Bataar is built into, sits a lone lighthouse that serves as both the guidance for the cities ships and the first line of defense against invaders from all directions. The tower is always occupied and routine patrols walking the area and pathways. The City itself has a series of gates and bridges built to be deployed and retracted in case of war. Without the bridges available on the cliffside, it's nearly impossible to make it to the city, which is one of the biggest lines of defense the city has available to it.

Industry & Trade

The city regularly trades with the Deghwahr kingdom via the trading hub "Thornwood", and the dragonborn kingdom even furth north (past the kingdom of Deghwahr). New Bataar exports exotic magical items created by various skilled Tieflings residing in the city. As well, the city exports rare minerals and metals found while mining the shore and caves at the cliff's base.

Infrastructure

New Bataar was built into the cliff side overlooking the Emerald Ocean, and expanded to the shores where the New Bataar shipyard sits. Watermills, mining posts, and fishing platforms are setup along the base of the cliffs to ensure the city has enough resources for its inhabitants for years to come.
