Khazar City

Khazar City is a megacity and location in the Age of Information. It is also the capital of the Union. In the Age of Steel and the Age of Knowledge it is known as the Dwarven City of Khazar.

Description
The capital of the Union, Khazar City is an architectural marvel which houses 10 million inhabitants. The seat of government along with the Grand Computer Assembly and other key facilities are located in what is popular known as ‘The Mountain City’ – the remains of the old dwarven stronghold, located underground, which has given the city its name.

As the center of power Khazar City is a place for the rich, the ambitious and those whose services are in demand by such men and women. The city is clean beyond reproach and street crime is at a minimum. Arbitrators who have earned a recreational period are often posted in the city, as are those serving their final years before retirement. However, beneath the tidy and ordered exterior Khazar City is a violent place. It may not be guns blazing, but corporations never the less wage wars over its streets and politicians battle over influence in the ancient Hall of Kings – turned into a meeting hall for the Union’s Assembly. And people die too, but not on the streets. They die after leaving the city or perhaps they simply disappear never to be seen again. You do not ask questions in Khazar City unless you get handsomely paid for doing so, and even then it might be worth reconsidering.

The city is mostly human but houses large numbers of both gnomes and dwarves while orcs are a rarity.
