Yiris

Yiris is a city infamous for its large dockyard, but also its night time lights, for when the moon rises in the sky, the city continue to be alive as torches and candles light the streets, for it is a city that revels in the activities of the night. While people have normal jobs working during the day, when night comes is when people drink in taverns, dance to music in the streets, and play games in public. Yet during the day it is also beautiful as the sun rises from the ocean to the west, with many fisherman going out to sea to hunt, or under ground into the mines of metal.

Demographics

The city is surpisingly diverse, with many peoples from all walks of the empire living within it. As usual, draken make up the biggest part, at about 50%, but with the rest being a multitude of races from the stoneken to the daerlken. It is a large mishmash of peoples trying to find their luck in the city, and as such its common for groups to form ghettos within the city.

Government

The city is primarily organized by the Hall of Order, where the ministers of various areas work. They help quickly resolve disputes between groups of people, along with finding solutions to cultural issues within the city.

Defences

The city has very few direct defenses, having no walls surrounding it. it does however have a large moat that helps separate it from any army directly, but also has a complex system of tunnels beneath the ground surrounding it that serve as ambush points for it in the case of an invading army.

Industry & Trade

The city of Yiris has two primary industries, that of fishing and of mining metal. Its also quite industrial, creating many common tools, but also some more advanced creations such as that of decorations and jewelry. It acts also as a area for trade, as its docks has many ships arrive with goods and leave with exports

Infrastructure

While the cities primary roads to and from it are very well developed, many of the roads going into the denser areas are very undeveloped and are simple dirt paths surrounded by buildings, and at times the lay out can be very confusing for anyone not used to the city.

Guilds and Factions

The biggest faction within the city is the Guild of Spiders, the infamous guild in charge of the vast network of spies that reach from west to east in the empire. As Yiris is its home base, it has great influence over the city, and few people dare to cross them in fear of becoming their next target.
