Kuroseki

Kuroseki is the most poopulous city in Gernon, with over a million people living within at the most recent estimates. It is located in the center of Gernon, east of The Pale Grasses, north of the Mesorban Plains, south of the Märenwald, and west of the Dorry Hills. The city is built near to along the Calyan River's canal, which connects the city to the main Calyan River and Lake Kumota.
==History==
The city was founded approximately 900 years b.s.r. by a recently displaced human kingdom who discovered the massive obsidian walls left by some ancient civilization, and decided to use them to create an easily defensible new home. Within the walls they built the original city, but over the course of almost a millennium the city has grown to several times it's original size, with only the ruling class remaining within the walls.
==Layout==
The city proper has a diameter of 4 miles. The central district is in the exact center of the city. 
===The Central District===
The center-most district is the governmental district, with most of the core governmental functions being performed within the district. The central district is built within the Walls of Kuroseki, the mysterious structure constructed by a lost society. The central district is also home to the city's wealthiest families.
Unlike the rest of the city, which has the main roads coming radially from the center, the roads in the central district run in circles concentric to the the center of the city. At the center is the Scientarian Central Tower which acts as the home of city's government. Other prominent structures include the Scientarian Central Research Institute, the Kuroseki Central Prison, and the Savoy Mansion
==Demographics==
The total population of Kuroseki was around one million citizens during the Scientarian Revolution, with nearly as many slaves and travelers inhabiting the city at any given time. Immigration and birth have effected a steady increase in the citizenry since the time of the Scientarian Revolution.
Primarily a human settlement, there has been a sizable dwarven population in the city for many centuries, and had risen exponentially since the fall of Skarlsboro in the Infernal War. Since the Scientarian Revolution they have been forced into leaving or going into hiding.
Under the Union of the West in 40 asr, the population has around:
* 900,000 humans
* 100,000 dwarves
* 15,000 Orcs
* 15,000 elves
* 5,000 gnomes
* 50,000 of other or mixed races
==Leadership and Government==
Until the revolution, the city was ruled by the Grand Prince, Saul Hurin, who has been kept imprisoned by Alek Tellumnar and the Scientarians since their revolution.
Currently led by the King of Kuroseki Yotakuno Kusetare, leader of the Union of the West
