Zekarna

Zekarna is the world’s largest city. It isn’t as much of a full fledged nation as it is the only port city with any amount of regulation and protection. Much of Shalera outside of the forests and the mountains is wild lands that are unclaimed and untamed by anyone. When Londova began seriously competing with Rokdar for trade, they helped pay for the construction of a city they would use as their primary port.

It didn’t take long for Zekarna to grow bigger than what the Dwarves of Londova could reasonably handle remotely. So, an agreement was struck. Zekarna would function with its own government and regulations and what not, but it would be under the protection of Londova in case of danger and Londova would pay none to little in the way of tariffs and taxes. To this day, that agreement is honored and it has brought significant wealth to both Zekarna and Londova. As more and more people heard about this city of commerce and trade, they made their way there. Others saw it as a chance to start over in a less regulated part of the world. Smaller villages and towns popped up in the surrounding countryside.

Although none of them officially exist within Zekarna’s borders, they all engage in a robust trade (normally for food) with the city. A series of walls intersect the city at various points where the governing body assumed the city’s growth would slow/stop. After the third wall was passed, they decided to stop trying to build walls for the city.
