Kabili

Kabili is a thriving port town on the southeast coast, and is one of the closest points to the Yan'katar. It is believed to be one of the oldest towns in Tariksan, as part of the area that was first settled. The relatively temperate climate makes the surrounding villages and farms prosperous, and the Lord of Kabili is one of the wealthiest in the country.

Demographics

A town of wealthy merchants and their workers, Kabili has one of the most pronounced class systems in Tariksan, with exclusive merchant's guilds and almost social mobility. It's working class population is almost always changing, it is common to come to Kabili to work until you have enough to move on.

Many cultures mix together in Kabili, and races that are scarce in Tariksan are less so here. It is also notable that lots of escaped slaves attempt to build a new life here, benifiting from the constant need for workhands.

Government

Lord Darico and his advisors currently run Kabili and the surrounding (small) townstead with a very loose set of rules. Taxes are extracted, but the enforcement of other laws often requires a registered merchant or trader to wave a tip in the direction of the militia. It's only the concern of the higher classes that their nicely running machines will be disrupted that keeps Kabili from being completely lawless. Freedom of expression and religion is kept, not by any higher influence, but by the sheer variety of cultures that rally behind any persecuted party, in case they are the next target.

Industry & Trade

Seafares use Kabili as a stopping place as they travel through the channel between Tariksan and the Yan'Katar lands, and in fact since the empire reached the coast buisness has grown, with more and more traders seeing it as a safe haven. There is also the appeal of a rich nation to trade with not far away, and although no slaves leave Kabili for Yan'katar, everything else does.

Infrastructure

The pride of Kabili is it's huge harbour wall, the with the port entrance framed by two towers shaped like narwhal horns. The spiral spire of the town hall forms a perfect line with the towers. The town itself is made up of shipyards on the waterfront, and then huddles of workshops between multiple small markets, making and selling everything from trout to silk. The style of buildings is much more ornate than most of tariksan, as the practicality that governs most of the nation is spurned for extravagance.
