Editing Thousand Cities:South (section)

===Rakandra===
:When [[Thousand_Cities:Vanar|Vanar]] left the city of [[Thousand_Cities:Centre#Yilgarn|Yilgarn]], he travelled to the southern shores of the Central Sea. Here, he founded a great city of his own: Rakandra, home to the finest metalsmiths in Creation. The city draws on the vast mineral wealth of the South.

:Rakandra is ruled by a Queen, typically one of the Chosen of Vanar. Ten Great Clans trade metal and artisans with all of Creation, buying the city great wealth and influence in the politics of the Central Islands. The richest of the Thousand Cities boast a Master Smith from Rakandra to oversee their metalworks. In exchange for unrivalled craftsmanship in weaponry and tools, the hosting city must sign an exclusive contract to purchase raw metals from the Master Smith's home clan.

:Rakandra's great wealth has lured many of the Central nations, but no raiding force has ever penetrated its iron gates. The Rakandran armies are superbly trained and equipped, and the city benefits from both steep cliffs and a inhospitable atmosphere filled with the ash of ten thousand forges.
