Yawron
Yawron is a city and kingdom which rules over multiple villages and towns in the South East of Elgidth. It neighbours the Fey Woods to it's west and New Des city to it's east. It's capital - Yawron city - is located on the coast of the Red Sea, from which many monsters and disasters come from, although since Yawron has been fighting against the disasters of the sea for a long time now, the kingdom has made and acquired good defences against it, including the Yawron Guardian.
Demographics
Yawron most commonly has elves, humans and halflings. It has many sea elves, Tritons and some Tortles as well. It has an equally small amount of Dwarves, Gnomes, Half-orcs. There is a very small amount of Tieflings, Shifters and Tabaxi.
Government
Yawron is governed by a single King who has lords and barons under them who rule districts, lands and villages.
Guilds and Factions
Unlike many other civilizations in Rexweld, Yawron has no guilds nor factions. The only organization which could fit the description would be the Mercenary Corps although, it is unofficial since Yawron has it's own guard troop as the official protectors of the kingdom.
Geography
Yawron is located in the south-east of Elgidth, on the coast, east of the Fey Woods. Yawron city and most of the villages are located in plains' fields with forests nearby. There are the Pell and Kvar rivers which flow together at one point forming the Pellkvar river which runs past a few villages and ends up running into the sea, splitting Yawron city into two halves as the city was built around the river.

Districts
Yawron is split up into 3 districts. There are no specific rules or restrictions that differ from district to district but the main difference is the demographic, businesses and events which are held in each respective district. The three districts are the Harbour district, Church district and the King's district (referred to as Queen's district if the ruler is a queen at the time).Harbour District
The Harbour district can be identified geographically as the territory west of Pellkvar river. Harbour district, as its name implies has the harbour within it, which also means that being a harbour worker, fisher and hunter are the most common jobs in the Harbour District. It is true that the residents of the harbour district are the poorest of the three districts although calling the district the slums would not be accurate.What can be found in the Harbour District:
- Harbourmaster's House - The building is huge and is easily distinguishable from the rest surrounding it. It houses the harbourmaster, their family, servants and on occasion other guests, often nobles. Depending on the harbourmaster the house is either private and guarded or it can be used communally, letting people join the harbourmaster for events and other occasions, even sometimes letting the homeless or hungry stay in their house, as Galten Moonstone, who was a harbourmaster in Yawron for a period of time, did.
- Mercenary Corps - although an unofficial organization, everyone, especially the citizens of the Harbour district, knows of the Mercenary Corps and how they most commonly meet up and operate in the Harbour district.
- Guardian Island - the southern island, connected to the rest of the land via two bridges on both sides of the island. The guardian island is an island that belongs to the Rosato family, specifically the Yawron Guardian. They use the island as a living space and home. The location is perfect due to it being the closest landmass to the Red Sea from Yawron.
- Market - The market exists in the Harbour district, next to Pellkvar river. It mainly sells fish and vegetables although it does have some vendors with rarer materials and products.
- Docks - What gives the harbour district its name. Many workers and fisherman can be found in the docks and rare voyages are made originating from the docks.
Church District
The Church district is in the middle, sandwiched between the Harbour district, which is split off by Pellkvar river, and the King's district, which is split off by the castle road which is the main road leading to the King's castle. It is named the church district due to it having the Church of the Gods inside of it.What can be found in the Church District:
- Church of the Gods - the only church in Yawron city. A central building of much importance. It is a church, mainly, for the three gods - Valkur, the god of sailors, ships, favourable winds and waves, Deep Sashelas, god of waters, dolphins and sea elves, and, Chauntea, goddess of agriculture, life, fertility and nature.
- Yawron Light - the lighthouse, located the south most of the Church district, sheds a bright blue beam of light during dark hours guiding sailors and ships to return to Yawron. The building is squared, 60ft tall and made of stone with a massive drawing on the back depicting the three main Yawron gods' symbols - a cloud with three lightning bolts for Valkur, a blue dolphin made of water for Deep Sashelas and a blooming rose on grain for Chauntea.
- City Square - right outside of the church, paved with stones, a big, open clearing with no buildings, where people celebrate, make offerings and do communal activities. In the middle of the City Square is a big rock, which has a story surrounding it saying that if the rock is kissed by a visitor, the visitor shall have a good experience in Yawron.
- The Pier - off the southern coast of Yawron, extrudes a large pier, which is used by fisherman and sailors although it, when needed is used by guards and soldiers in case of attacks from the sea. The Yawron Guardian also uses the pier on occasion when they need to go out further onto the water without getting in.
- Noble's Block - a community of houses located outside the castle's walls. The houses are occupied by some of the wealthiest citizens, many of whom have servants. Many members of these families send their children to educate and often to study in the Knight Academy, in hopes of having their child become a squire or paige for knights.
King/Queen District
The King district (or Queen depending on the ruler) is the district most east. It also has the King's castle in it. This district, of the three, has the most buildings meant for living, having not a lot of businesses or shops. The people who live in the district are more or less moderately wealthy.What can be found in the King District:
- King's Castle - The castle stands upon a hill, being protected both by stone walls and by steep cliffs. It also has a moat. The castle consists of two baileys - the outer bailey where many servants, soldiers and knights live and work and the inner bailey where the castle is located and where the King and his family, servants and other nobles live.
- Moonstone School - A school in the centre of the district with many buildings surrounding it. The school offers free education to children from all over Yawron. Most of the children are from the Church and King districts although there are some kids who come from the Harbour district. The children are taught how to read, write, do very basic math, study religion, art and music.
- Knight Academy - an academy where boys learn to be soldiers, guards, learn proper etiquette for being a squire, all in hopes of one day becoming a knight. The academy is located utmost north of the sector. There is the main Knight Academy building with large open training grounds that the academy shares with the soldier's training grounds.
- Guard Towers - Although there are towers surrounding the entire wall around Yawron, there are two large towers which the guard's use as living spaces. One tower is in the north part of the wall and the other is in the east part. The north tower is a part of the Soldier Training grounds buildings.
- Soldier training grounds - to the west of the Knight Academy, the Soldier grounds is a grouping of buildings where soldiers can choose to live, although more importantly, a place where the soldiers train, especially studying large scale war strategies and formations. The grounds are shared with the Knight academy with collaborative training exercises taking place not so rarely.
- King's Arena - The arena is a square paved field with stone seats and stairs surrounding it for the audience. Many events are held in the arena, including non-combat ones like theatre and musical performances. When the arena is not being used for such events though, it is likely to be found, being occupied by either the guards or guards-to-become - the Knight Academy students - practising and refining their craft, often off-duty when they can relax a bit more. Some bored passerby can often begin watching these soldiers train and on occasion, spontaneous events occur when crowds of people choose to watch these soldiers just practice, even betting and cheering for the fighters.
- Strongstone Prison is a prison in the North Eastern part of the King's sector, located in between the 2 walls for additional security.
