	The City of Drache (in [[Arangothek]]: ''Drekith'') is the present-day capital of [[Transdariania]] in [[Arangoth]] and lies at the mouth of the [[Darian River]]. The name, although now spelled under draconian influence, probably comes from the Arangothian word ''dreki'', meaning a port.

	East from the river, through the heavily-guarded Iron Gate, is the Wharf District, a place of warehouses, shipyards, net makers, stevedores and the like. This district has cut throat bars and opium dens, and is home to the [[Red Lantern District]], the streets with most of the town's brothels. The Wharf District is what remains of the old fishing town of Drache, and although it's safer than it has been it is still a dangerous place at night. Even worse is the [[Back Alley]], home to the most disreputable elements of Drache's underbelly, which can be found towards the center of the district.

	Twenty-~~three~~ years ago there was virtually nothing in Drache but trees and fishing hovels; its population exploded after King [[BLKDRAGON]] and Queen [[AngelSin]] established the place as the new capital of Arangoth. There was little time to plan its streets and quarters, and so there are no wide avenues or boulevards, with the sole exception of [[Merchants' Square\|Market Street]]. Rather, Drache is a spontaneously-generated city of convoluted, twisted alleyways, abrupt dead-ends, strangely-shaped "squares," and mismatched skylines and rooftops.		Twenty-five years ago there was virtually nothing in Drache but trees and fishing hovels; its population exploded after King [[BLKDRAGON]] and Queen [[AngelSin]] established the place as the new capital of Arangoth.

Rather, Drache is a spontaneously-generated city of convoluted, twisted alleyways, abrupt dead-ends, strangely-shaped "squares," and mismatched skylines and rooftops.

	Very few people are natives of the city; the average "native" citizen grew up on a farm somewhere to the north in [[Transdariania]], and at least half the population was not even born in Arangoth. It is a very cosmopolitan place: one finds Elven restauranteurs and [[Kahlahra\|Khalar]] horsebreeders setting up shop next to "silfemevas" devoted to exotic [[Leturia\|Leturian]] tail-dancing. If not for the high number of magic-users and healers, Drache's cramped conditions would have long since led to terrible epidemics, but as it is, few die of illness in the city. The excrement and garbage was previously removed from the streets each morning by a corps of magical gongfermers who "portal" it to a vast landfill in [[Ruthmarna]], however, after the Civil War and formation of the seven duchies, Drache has had to broaden its methods, mostly mundane, to contend with the downsides to having a growing population.

	Off the coast of Drache is a small, island chain. The water around the island chain is full of thick, viscous sediment of a particularly black shade. Thus, the area is called The Black Water. The islands are relatively uninhabited, rocky crags that serve no societal or strategic value. They can be accessed via ship, or a smaller boat, if the sailor is particularly skilled and capable of navigating the treacherous currents and sheering winds that surround the chain. The Black Water is known for foul weather and rapid changes in wave height and frequency, making them particularly dangerous and avoidance is recommended on all navigational charts. Many shoals in the area are unmarked. While several of the islands feature caves and wreckage that are perhaps worth exploring, only one island has a permanent structure, the infamous Black Water Asylum, home to rumors of human experimentation and the criminally insane. The Mage's Guild, a new addition to the shoals, can be found here as well off the coast of the mainland, which serves to tutor and cater to the growing academic population of magic users found in Drache.

			*Toxin orbs. The orbs are created from meteoric silver and are covered in pits. They work by drawing in water and trapping the toxins by use of elemental magic. The process can be slow going depending on the amount of toxins and the volume of water needed to cleanse. Once complete the toxins can be drained and the orbs reused.

			*Crystal Pylons. The crystal pylons emit a soft blue light that is capable of illuminating small areas like city streets. They pylons use a combination of elemental and weather controlling magic to suppress natural weather effects such as local storms or heat from the sun. They also work as lightning rods to help direct the power of severe lightning storms. With enough pylons their power can potentially activate and provide a protective barrier around the city of Drache. All pylons are powered off the cities tower and local leylines.. two sources so that if one goes down they have a backup source of energy.
