Asylum City (Ah-sigh-lum City)
Asylum City leads the world of Haven in many aspects. Among them are industrialization, food production, entertainment, and war. This leadership, however, is due mostly to being one of two human civilizations rather than actually being good at these aspects.

History
The original Asylum City was among many, but slowly conquered other cities over time. Once Asylum was the only one left, the rulers turned to expanding their industries and food production. It was during this time that they made enemies of the Hydro Heads. While it appeared the that war could be ended during King Crevidae's reign, there was a coup and the Governor, who took over, angered the Hydro Heads further.
Points of interest
Within the Water Slums, there is located a temple upon wooden stilts where the faithful of the Dragoona go to worship. This is known as the Augur's Temple. There is rumor that the Dragoona directly blessed this temple, but it is hard to believe due to the shape of the building that holds the main artifact for worship.
Within the Industry Sector, there is the city's main power plant, run by a seemingly mad engineer. The plant is often referred to as Vincent's Electric Plant by the traders that visit the planet, but is known simply as the power plant to those who walk the streets of Asylum.
Within the Governor's Palace there lies a massive prison that doubles as a laboratory. It is said that within the walls, new species are being created in order to fight what the long-eared humans know as the Hydrain Menace.
In the center of the back walkways of the Docks, there is a well known bar called {Hemp Haven Saloon}. Its walls are lined with the impressive trophies of the Barrenlanders that work for the infamous owner of the bar, and the drinks are equality as intoxicating.
