City Name: Arakmat
Entrance to city: The City Gates
Races in the city: In ERA IX PF, the population of Arakmat was slightly less than a quarter-million souls. 150000 were permanent residents, another 50000 were part of the transient population (nomads, caravans, merchants, etc), and then there were the men and women of the Arakmatan Army. The destruction wrought by the Hurricane unleashed on the city during the end of that ERA reduced the population considerably. There are now 60000 permanent residents and 15000 transients. The current racial breakdown is: Dorin (35%), Human (25%), Katta (20%), Elf (15%), remainder (5%). The armed forces permanently stationed in and around the city total another 15000 bodies.
General Training Opportunities: Martial training (nearly any weapon, shield, or armor type) is readily available through the offices of either the Army or the Militia. A special group within the city known as the Order of the Open Hand offers training in the various martial arts.
There is no OFFICIAL potential for training in ANY the Arcane Spheres; the destruction wrought by the Hurricane has seen to that. However, there are clandestine opportunities for some - if one knows where to look.
Religious Establishments: None standing. All temples were destroyed in the Hurricane and none have (yet) been rebuilt.
Special: Arakmat is the only major city in the desert. Water is a valuable commodity and fights do break out over it though none have happened in a long while.

The southern course extends through Lauryl to Zinn’Sunn and eventually the southern seas.

Special: Imperia is definately a nasty old place - lots of fog all year round and really full of quite unpleasant people - there are pirates and gangs on the streets and crime rates are high. Not somewhere for the faint hearted!! There are "good guy" groups, but they are few and far between.
