Kayb'r Aihi - Lake City (Aralian)

Kayb'r Aihi is an Aralina lake port located on the shoreline of Viko Kayb'r, a large round lake, which outflows into the Bisag Osuwre and the series of lakes surrounding the nearby Quzonian city of Imizaso. The channel from the lake feeding the river is guarded by a pair of large keeps and a great chain suspended between them, which can be raised as a gate to block the passage of larger vessels. The city is subdivided into five districts, each with their own distinctiveness.

Lake District

Lake district encompasses the shoreline of the lake, all docks, wharves, and warehouses. The district includes the lake market, and a few of the older churches in the city.

Hill District

This district is dominated by the presence of the Tower on the Hill. It also contains many of the upper class homes, and wealthier businesses.

West District

The third oldest district of the city is occupied by long established middle class families, and the Cloth Market, a trading hub for clothiers, woolers, tanners, dyers, and jewelers.

North District

Primarily residential, this district is the furthest from the lake. The more industrial trades, such as smiths, carpenters and masons are mostly located in this district.

East District

The youngest district is another residential district containing a few wealthier homes and several of the newer churches.

History

Founded

53 YG (Kayb'r Siv'n) /160 YG (Kayb'r Aihi)

The original fishing village at this location grew into a proper town by 53 YG, and subsequent population growth made it a city by 160 YG. Given to town's proximity to Imizaso, the Quzonian capitol and seat of the Twinned Goddess faith, the town has always had a large population of devotees to both branches of the church. It is also a common destination for pilgrimages to the holy seat, as the last stop before crossing the border into Quzonia.

The division of the city into districts was a decision made when the population crested 10,000 people. The various residential neighbourhoods and aggregates of similar businesses made the boundaries between the different sections of the city easier to define. Originally just Lake, Hill, and West districts were formed, but as the city grew larger still East and North districts were added, with additional seats on the city council to accommodate the greater responsibility.

This city is also the ancestral home of the Solus family which holds a seat on the High Council.
