Roku

Roku is the capital and largest city in Rlaysia. It is the seat of Rlaysian government including the nation's king. Most trading traffic in the nation at least passes through Roku at some point. It is well known for its sword schools, playing host to at least one school for many major styles of swordsmanship in the Southern Nations. 
==Description==
Roku is divided into three distinct sections, each of which is walled off from the others by a fifteen-foot wall. The three sections form rings, with each smaller one nested within the larger one. The Outer Ring, the poorest section of Roku, is home to residences, seedy taverns, dark alleys, and the red light district. The Middle Ring, a slightly more upscale section, is home to some fine shops, temples, more upscale residences, and the emissaries of other nations in the south. The Inner Ring is barred from entry by most members of the public- indeed, only nobles or those granted audience with the king are allowed to enter the Inner Ring. 
For many centuries, outsiders were not even allowed into the Outer Ring of the city. It is only since the beginning of the Common Age and the formation of the Southern Alliance that foreigners have able to enter. Even despite the law being in place now for over 1,400 years, the emissaries placed in the Walled City still find the great red walls and the stares of the city's inhabitants to be unnerving, even frightening at times.
==Points of Interest==
At the very center of the Inner Ring lies the Royal Palace, the seat of Rlaysian government. It is here that the king and his cabinet meet to discuss matters of state. Hidden in the forbidden Inner Ring and surrounded by a pool of water, the Palace is a landmark few non-nobles have ever seen. Visiting dignitaries are received via the western gate and the Imperial Road, which cuts through to the Inner Ring and reduces traveling time through the city.
