Octant 8: The Centre
The centre of Helstav is where the governing body and the political heads reside. The eighth Octant is where the decisions for how the city operates is made. Politicians all discuss and debate over the best course of action for the fruition of the city. The Head is also in charge of the policing force that watches over the Octants and ensures peace and order.
Demographics
40% Dwarves, 40% Elves, 15% Humans, 5% other. The odd Air Genasi can be found here.
Government
The Centre Octant is being governed by the Senate of Helstav, though the name itself is misleading as the Senate only has influence over the Centre Octant. It is comprised of 499 politicians whose purpose is to oversee the laws of Helstav, to make sure that none of the other Octants are overstepping their boundaries, and to ascertain that the city-wide organizations are being run properly. They have an election at the same time that the election for the Helstavite Council is held, when all seats are up for grabs. The building itself used to be owned by the Calen family, but was sold to the city of Helstav shortly after an official creation of the Senate.
Ruler
The Senate is being led by the majority party called Integrity Movement, and thus by their party leader, the Half-Elf Virlar Luren, though, as with most things, behind the scenes, things are controlled by Brian Blessed 35th to a point.Infrastructure
This is where the audience chambers, guardhouses, barracks for the army and the police and the city guard, jailhouses, manors for the elite, palaces, prisons, training halls for the army, museums, theatres, guildhouses, courthouses, and hospitals.
There are several museums in the Centre Octant depicting various moments in the history of Aladathia, and Helstav in particular. There's an entire museum dedicated to the redacted War of the Elder Races, what it cost, and why such a conflict must be avoided at all costs.
History
This is the oldest Octant in Helstav. Created right after the War of the Elder Races, its sole purpose is to protect the world from the secret creature laying beneath the city, along with the Order of the Oaken Tree. The Centre Octant then assumed the facade of an aspiring, and drawn people to it, thus becoming the centre of Helstav.
Architecture
The architecture is unique in that almost all buildings are ancient, and a mix of Dwarven and Elven in origin. There hasn't been a new building built here in centuries, as the Octant itself is already filled to its maximum capacity.
