Free city of Niere
The only neutral faction within the war between Tiamat and Bahamut taking place in the western desert. Among Vesax this is the melting pot of illicit culture and criminal acts, making this a haven for criminals and people on the run.
Demographics
There is an extreme discrepancy between a large number of the poor and the small number of those in extreme wealth with only a few fitting in the "middle" class.
Government
The Free City of Niere is run by the local Vicount. Any and all laws are decided by the vicount resulting in very few written laws and many implied laws that can change at a moments notice.
Defences
While there are only simple sandstone walls to protect against ground attacks, the true defences are a large number of ballistae and dragon eaters capable of nocking any ariel attacks from the sky or to rain fire down on any ground troops.
Industry & Trade
As there are very few laws relating to trade, the black market thrives here, resulting in the trade of many items that otherwise would never be seen in the daylight of Vesax. One of these is the slave trade, making the western waste one of the few places other than Orstad that still practices slavery.
Natural Resources
A large oasis exists in the centre of the city, protected by the vicounts guards and closely monitored.
