Mazaber
The capital of Axuum and the country’s largest city, Mazaber is a port city on the west coast of the Ruby Sea less than 200 miles from where it joins the ocean. Most of the country’s imports and exports pass through the docks in Mazaber. The most valuable exports are tortoiseshell, salt, and gold and emeralds from the Tekle Mountains. Ivory from the herds of great elephants in the Central Uplands south of Axuum and Aethiope is also brought to Mazaber by caravan for export. However, the local ivory trade has gradually diminished since Alcaldar seized the Channel Lakes and built the canal system through the continent, which has prevented the herds wandering their traditional north and south migratory routes. To counter this, Axuum has attempted to expand the herds under their control by transporting elephants to new ranges in Imya.
