Azgral
Located near the northern coast of North Ordan, Azgral is the capital of the nation of Ordan. As one of the earliest settlements established after their arrival in Imera, the city of Azgral is considered a place of great significance to the Orcs. It's from here that the Great Chief rules over all of Ordan, and where the decisions that affect Ordan and the Orcish people are made.
Demographics
The population of Azgral is almost exclusively made up of Orcs, with around 70% of them being Frost Orcs, with the remainder being Plains Orcs. Among the few non-Orcs found within the city, the majority of are Humans (mostly of Ulfgardian or Vraelian descent) and Drakai. Citizens of the city fall into a number of occupations, including smiths, bards, diplomats, and sailors.
Government

All taxes collected within the city are put towards maintaining buildings and infrastructure, s well as maintenance of the ships in the local harbour, with the excess being stored for emergencies and negotiations.
Defences
The city is surrounded by tall stone walls, which are patrolled by armed lookouts during times of conflict. During a conflict, any ships that are docked at the city will also attempt to prevent enemy vessels from reaching the harbour. Deeper within the city lies the citadel of Ard Kheshnur, which rests on an elevated position compared to the rest of the city, and contains the Hall of the Great Chief, as well as most of the military buildings. This citadel, like the rest of the city, is also surrounded by stone walls, and serves as a final fallback point in the event that the outer defences are breached.
