Zhizroit
an infidel's worst nightmare
Zhizroit is a quiet and industrious Town in the very center of Ubos, at the crossing between Aodios and Ylendiff. The religious zeal of it's Inhabitants is unrivaled.
Demographics
The vast majority of all citzens are Followers of the Purlple Flame.
The Edict of Expulsion decrees that unwanted heretical elements shall be removed from Zhizroit and will guarantee that the faith of thier loyal subjects is not subverted in their social interactions with these elements. They are therefore ordered to depart and never return. Thereby ensuring the controll of the Town by the Followers of the Purple Flame.
Government
Zhizroit is a theocratic administration and is governed by the Supreme Abbot of the Purple Flame. Despite the untraditional form of goverment, Zhizroit takes the complex burocracy, which is typical for the Nefadric Empire, and steps it up a notch. Extensive formal processes, and stringend organisation are deeply engrained within the adminestration of the town.
Law is very greatly shaped by the ideals of it's founders, which where zealous fanaticts of the Followers of the Purple Flame. The Inqusition of the Purple Flame has a monopoly on political power within the town and rules it with an iron fist.
Zhizroit is home to the Royal Comission of Ubos, while it was orrignally created to ensure the relgious purity within adminestrative bodies of only Zhizroit, Naram Seluku has transformed it into an institute to squash every ever so slight doubt of Jubix and ultimately his own authority, withn the whole Nefadric Emprie.
Defences
Zhizroit has it's own milita but largely relies on the general safety of the region or on the support of the larger cities of the region due to relative proximitiy in times of war. Mostliy the threat that is posed by the fact that the bulk of the Nefadric Legions could arrive within hours via the imperial road network is so gigantuan that only a full invasion force stands a chance, is enough to be a serious deterant.
Industry & Trade
The town makes a great profit with it's administrative institutions along with record- and bookkeeping aswell as the customs and taxation on the passage of the imperial road network.
An important export of Zhizrioit are the herbs grown within the sanguine gardens of the Purple Flame abby.
Infrastructure
Zhizroit is built in the formal and militaristic High Imperial Nefadric architecture style, the buildings in general are built from the signature solid dark grey granite bricks of the Blackrock Frontier Mining Colony and mortar. Most major buildings, like the town hall or the monestary of the Purple Flame are reeinforced with integrated steel rods.
Zhizroit is very well conected with the Imperial road network, it's post stations monitor all travellers, so that all hertical elements can be detected and dealt with accordingly. As long as the right paperwork and doccumentation is presented whenever requested, any traveller can make excellent progress along the imperial roadnetwork. The wrong documentation, however, can spell disaster!
Guilds and Factions
The local craftsmen guild, especialy the smiths, are sponsored by the Followers of the Purple Flame to aid the manifestation of the divine in the creation of the mundane. Since craftsmanship gives many opportunities to celebrate the spiritual, has given the Followers of the Purple Flame reason to support such work.
History
Zhizroit was setteld by a group of religious fanatics, called The Followers of the Purple Flame, which had seeked seclusion in order to practice thier religion undisturbed.
Geography
Zhizroit is located at the very center of Ubos and at the crossing of Aodios and Ylendiff. The Sinars Stream is only a short walk away, though has many rapids, because of the many hills within the countryside of Zhizroit, at this point. The Omyhx Thicket can be seen across the stream, incidents with the monsters of the forrest are rare but still happen from time to time.
Natural Resources
Sanguine herbs grow excellent near the Sinars Stream.
