Midianar

A very small citystate not too far to the south of the City of Light, Midianar is a besieged/antepalisaded settlement under protectorate supervision by Argosy, a coastal citystate to the east. Midianar is also under protectorate supervision by Research Center 001, to the north.

Demographics

Midianar's population is generally divided along religious lines. Most of the population are reformist Loccites, or Wave Worshipers, with a slightly smaller number being Orthodox Loccites. A much smaller portion of the populace are Uanshar, also called totemites by other Midianari, called blood witches by outsiders (especially Argosites).

Architecture

By dictate of their treaties with Argosy, Midianari buildings cannot stand higher than two stories, so they are easily managed by the seven security towers built just inside the palisade. Architecture is a mixture of early Gaia-19 structures (much of which has been leveled by munitions), wooden cabins, and aged yurts. The one exception to these three categories is the Vay Sanathar, a temple that existed before the town itself, meant to serve the faiths of the miners who worked the quarries before the Midianari immigrated.
Of course, the most defining feature of Midianar is the palisade itself, constructed after the First Storm, to help prevent anti-Argostie violence. Patroled by Argosite hoplites at all hours, Midianari cannot pass the palisade gates, neither to leave or enter the town, without hoplite consent.
