R atha

Location- Reshalia Island, Qi'Reshalia

Physical Layout: Ratha is a city built on the cliffs of Reshalia Island. Since it goes virtually straight up, the city is divided into four tiers, each connected by mechanical lifts. On the first tier are numerous shops, and the hovels of the lower class. Two banks, warehouses, and shipyards are also here, as are the docks of Ratha. Ratha has three docks, the Neh (which means "Long" in S'kra) Dock, Uasin Dock, and Uaro Dock. On the second tier are more shops, a bazaar, and several residential districts. The third tier contains Guildhalls, Temples, and the Palace, while the fourth consists of the vast estates of the ruling class, and the two gates: Sur'Oson Gate and Por'Oson Gate.

Government: Ratha is ruled by the Council of Advisors. This Council consists of the heads of the nine most powerful merchant families in the Realm. These families are: Zsikiel, Dne, Redthorne, Pantel, Odalva, Moglin, Lisska'Vran, Tierskel, and Nadamian.

Primary Sources of Income: Road and Sea Trade, Lift Fees

Places of Interest: The Sshoi-Sson Palace, the ten Temples (each devoted to a different god).

Culture: Ratha is a S'kra city, though it is now filled with people of all races, due to its nature as a wealthy port city. Streets are named in S'kra, and the majority of the Council of Advisors are S'kra. In Ratha, money is everything. P.I.
