Daruhjistan

The Free City of Daruhjistan is the largest tradecity on Genobackis and lies on the east coast within the Daruh Mountains. It is known for being a tradehub and melting pot of many cultures, both genobacken and otherwise.



Politics
While Daruhjistan in contrast to most other settlements on Genobackis does not have a singular ruler, it has a self-elected council to ensure that the city guard is paid and maintenence of the cities infrastructure is held to its standards. Laws are usually created and enforced by the mass of guilds and organizations that make up the cities bureaucrats.

Characteristics
As a a major port-city, Daruhjistan attracts people of many cultures and statures at all times. Traditions are therefor often cast away for the months current flavor of culture, including fashion, music, speech, etc.

Multilingualism is extremely commong amongst even the cities poor, and most Daruh kids know atleast 2 languages by the time they are 10 years old.

The city is also famous for its blue-burning gaslanterns that light its streets during the night. The gas is a naturaly occuring phenomen that is found in large pockets found half a mile beneath the city. The scholar Barook has in the past publicly expressed his concern for this flamable gas, but his concerns have so far fallen for deaf ears.

Compared to other settlements, the differences in living standards between the rich and poor of the city are considerably smaller than in most places. Even still, the wealthy of Daruhjistan are unrivaled by any other collection of nobles found on Genobackis, perhaps with the exception of King Braedon of Astrepolis himself.

Trade
For any first-time traders in the city they can expect an intimidating amount of paperwork involved with the buisness, as the guilds that to a large degree are in charge of the city wish to ensure their own safety.
