The capital of Neniros is a port city next to the Neniros river. For a long time it was nothing but a sleepy fishing village. When outside interest in the country grew, it quickly became the main port and foreign companies built the town out. At that point the six tribes made the decision to make it the nation's capital and establish their national government here, little of it that there is.

The city is its own entity and considered to be outside the territory of any of the tribes. A small cadre of civil servants deals with the daily running but most work is contracted out to local companies. The mayor is appointed every six years just as the First, and the civil servant positions are also filled by the tribes, the positions are highly coveted.

Locations

The city is made up of four quarters though they are most definitely not the same size.

Port

The original harbor was the only place in the country able to accommodate large merchant ships and Dolac engineers then went to work extending it, so that now it looks much like a southern Sarodin Sea port. About half the piers are used by merchant ships and the other half by the fishing fleet. Warehouses are mostly built near the river for easy transfer of goods.

Dolac Quarter

It was named for Dolac as they were the first to settle here, and close to half the population in this quarter is originally from there, but other foreigners are also quite common now. Built onto a hill, this is where all the embassies and merchant houses can be found, most built in the styles of their home countries. If features wide, tree covered lanes and many shops catering to expats.

Embassy of Dolac

Built in New Avale style from local hardwood on a stone foundation this was the first building of its kind and has been much copied since. The building is quite large for a country of this size but the first ambassador had a good eye for future possibilities and now the place is used to capacity. Most weeks an event is organized in the ball room that brings together anyone who is anyone in town.

The current ambassador is Elvar Parmenter, a man with a long and distinguished career in the foreign service, here for his last posting, together with his second wife, Farrah. Minister-Counsellor is Felicia Belmonder of whom many stories are told, they can't all be true.

Embassy of Haza

Not to be outdone by the Dolacs, the Hazans built their embassy soon after. A bit more modest in size and built entirely out of stone in a style reminiscent of Sídlo Palace. Staff freely admit that an all stone building was a mistake as temperatures inside are quite high without magical cooling.

Ambassador to the country is Grofica (Countess) Ivana Kovač, who, in a break with protocol, was stationed here whilst being single. She is well supported by minister Goran Hajduk.

Old Town

Almost nothing old is left here, it is now split into middle and upper class neighborhoods where many of the newly wealthy Nenirosians live and where most temples can be found.

Liba Seri Towers

When foreign interests started building large structures in town, a plan as grandiose as they come was set upon. It was decided that Liba Seri (see below) should have the tallest building in town. Two wide, square towers were planned in such a way that more floors could be built upon later. There have been two additions so far, which also regrettably led to the construction of stabilizing beams between both towers.

Tower Fosi contains the palace of the First on the top floors, the Liba Seri offices below it, and the town's civil service on the bottom floor. Tower Lasti used to contain Liba Seri offices but has been converted to a luxury apartment building.

New Town

Built after many Nenirosians were displaced from other parts of the city, this is the only quarter that is still mostly built in the local style using hardwoods, (woven) bamboo, and thatch roofs made of palm fronds.

Merchant Houses

Liba Seri

The tribes realized in time that most money was made by the newly arrived foreign merchants and quickly started their own national merchant house. They dominate the river traffic and now have a modest fleet that mostly sails on Beljovac. Just like everything else in the city, corruption is high and the company attracts those looking to enrich themselves.

The house is currently being run by Balaera "Tuesday" Hembreon, sister to the matriarch, and former First, of one of the six tribes. Much of the company's knowledge comes from a Dolac who used to work for House Ditta; Janelle Durville.
