Bordertown
Government
The government structure of this city-state most resembles an Oligarchy, in which power resting mostly on those chosen to represent the interests and perspectives of the original settlers of Bordertown. The City has two guard structures that work in tandem to maintain peace and uphold the values of all groups who dwell within the city.
Defences
While the wall was once a mainstay of the defenses, now the city mostly relies on its heavy military presence to dissuade bandits or other bad actors from affecting the city and its peace. To this end, most of the active and passive defences have been disabled or removed entierly.
Industry & Trade
This City-State in particular is known for its innovation and the diversity of the goods involved in its trade. It has also become a minor tourist hotspot for its availability of exotic goods and services that, until very recently, were only available through a long and arduous trek through the Oazallan Desert.
History
The Bordertown Wall was erected in the early days of the Oazallan Conflict in response to raids conducted by Oazian Bloodletters. After being built it served as a supply depot for the mercenaries and other militaries involved in the conflict. Towards the end of the conflict, as a sign of goodwill, sections of the wall were demolished and Oazallan dignitaries were allowed to settle in the area. Over time, the city grew and was given joint ownership/governance between a Gray Order Diplomat and a member of the Oazian Noble Court. Nowadays it serves as a cornerstone of the harmony that has been achieved and a hub for travel and trade.
