Origins & History
Bahrkul is the capital city of Bahr, and the only city within the entire country. It is named for Bahrkul himself, who was the son of the War God Ah'rlak and a mortal hobgoblin. Following a series of several wars, most notably with the Underworld, Bahrkul constructed a mighty fortress
Government
The city is controlled by the Hobgoblin elite, who rule with an iron fist.
Layout & Architecture
Bahrkul has four districts, each segregated by race. The largest district houses the ruling 'higher' Hobgoblins. The second largest is divided between Goblins, Gnolls and a minority of Orcs. The third belongs to Humans, who have become a growing power since Bahrkul's foundation. The fourth and smallest holds the 'gray dwarves', known as the Daehur in the goblinoid language, and other Underworld denizens.
Laws & Customs
Magic is forbidden, and its use is punishable by death, except for the holy magic of priests from regulated government churches. The undead and extra-planar creatures, such as Demons and Vampires, are equally unwanted, and are openly hunted by the Bahrkulian City Guard. Slavery, on the other hand, is legal, and the taxes in Bahrkul are higher then any other city in the continent, resulting in a major part of the population living in complete poverty to support the shallow needs of government workers.
