Boven

The glowing gem of the savannah, the cross roads of the empire and the very center of the great trade routes that reach all corners of the continent, Boven is perhaps the most diverse city in all the land in both people and in goods. Everyday people travel with their goods from their corners of the world to sell them to merchants and other people seeking things both mundane and exotic to purchase. People of all types and shapes walks its streets, sharing in mutual harmony as cultures blend and clash, yet it is also a place of military might, as one sees many patrols move around the large markets, ensuring the peace and stopping any violence from erupting.

Demographics

Boven is one of the most varied cities in drakenelm, with people from all over the continent living within its boundaries. Drakens as usual make up the largest percentage at 35%, but clearly not as high as other cities. Then comes the four major tribes of the savannah, urkur 15%, daerlken 15%, falin 15%, orgor 5%, then the rest of the 15% is made up of races from all over the continent, from north to south.

Government

The city is controlled by the council of the tribes, where the four representatives of the four tribes of boven reside, who in turn help act as advisors to the king and act as ministers of various areas for the nation and of the city, and help appoint people to legal offices to ensure to peace between the people in the city.

Defences

While the city has no physical barriers such as those of walls, it has a very strong military presence. Guards are heavily trained and routinely patrol the entire city, with ranged soldiers stationed at key areas upon towers, watching the city from afar. On top of this, its also patrolled by the female wyverns, who act as sentries and report all they see to garrisons.

Industry & Trade

The city has very little industry of its own, the few that it does have is that of processing, suchh as that of transformation of raw ore or metals in more advanced states such as of that into jewelry, or weapons and armor. It thus can be said to also be a hub of creation, for many famous artisans call their home their and sell their goods and services to the visiting merchants.

Infrastructure

Due to how spread out the city is, its primary efforts for infrastructure is focused on the places closest to the great path of trade, to ensure people are able to move efficiently and effectively around the major hubs of trade within the city. As one gets further out, there is less and less effort on infrastructure, as people on the outskirts primarily live in tents.

Guilds and Factions

The traders guild has a great amount of influence on the city, as it is its primary form of income, and thus have specific regulations one must follow if one wishes to put up a stand and sell one's goods. It also has a very strong mercenary presence, with many military groups selling their arms to the highest bidders in the markets.
