Eastern District
The Eastern District is the area between the City center and the base of Mount Klodor. Because Klodorex was built to defend the mountain, this is the oldest part of the city, and it thus has a disproportionately higher number of high value buildings than the other outlying districts.
Two major sub-districts are the original Beast Handler’s Quarter and the Terradon Quarter.
Holy Sites
As mentioned above, the Eastern quarter holds Klodorex’s temple to Tlanxla, and one of the kahoun's two Itzl temples. There is a shrine of Xhotl sits on an artificially raised hill lined up with the Monument of Izzatal. While this shrine is one of the oldest structures in Klodorex and no Lizardmen would dare move it, its religious role has largely been supplanted by the other shrine of Xhotl built later as a war memorial.
Technically, the four mountain top temples are all east of everything in Klodorex, but apart from these, the easternmost temple is a temple to Chotec per tradition. Like the Temple of Tlanxla there aren’t any vaults or Slann accommodations here. It was created as an aid to pious Skinks, Sauri, and Kroxigor in their Chotec worship.
The East district holds a fairly modest temple dedicated to Tepok. While the Temple of Tepok is technically a holy place, the Slann barely acknowledge it. The Slann generally use the mountaintop temples and the Great Temple to do most of their magic, so the Temple of Tepok has become a sort of casual refuge where Skink Priests and their top attendants can rest and mingle without the demands of either the Slann or their subordinates to trouble them. During actual Tepok rituals, the priests are all business, but they are surprisingly laid back here the rest of the time.
Any three points form a triangle, in the triangle formed Temple of Tepok, Chotec, and Tlanxla, Klodorex built an open air coliseum like structure with raised seating called the Gathering Place. This building has the largest capacity for people (be they Slann, Skinks, Sauri, or Kroxigor) of any building in Klodorex and it can seat roughly half the entire population. While the Gathering Place can be used for casual gatherings, it’s usually used for religious gatherings.
The eastern district is where Klodorex touches the base of Mount Klodor so anyone taking the Temple Trail or the Temple Stairs needs to go through here. There is a Shrine to Uxmac that most would-be mountain climbers traditionally visit before ascending to pray for a safe journey.
Everything Else
Apart from the City Center this is the most densely packed region of the city with large buildings and critical infrastructure. There are very few sleeping quarters, storage units, or centers of industry here that do not directly cater to one of the sites listed above. The major exception is silos for harvested crops, sheds for farming implements and a few modest sleeping quarters for Skink and Kroxigor farmers. They are clustered in the eastern district because the Eastern district is adjacent to the Terraced Fields. Even so, most of the grain silos are in the south and west districts just because there is not a lot of free space in the East.
