Zurlesti

right|300px
Large city in southern Arumelia.
67,000 (67% human, 25% goblinoid slaves, 7% Rhie dwarves).Services: This spartan city provides some few amenities for the passing traveler, but is otherwise very industry oriented. One service industry that does stand out is catering to visiting dwarves, who may enjoy some comforts of home (such as they are) in the midst of the human lands. Exports: The city’s rich mines supply a wide variety of gems including diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and corundrums, as well as less valuable stones. Iron is plentiful near the city as well. Most of these valuable resources supply Arumelia’s needs, but Rhieland supplies valuable dwarven labor in return for a generous portion of the iron.Imports: Most food needed has to come from Arumelia, and Rhieland usually keeps close to 5000 dwarven laborers working in the mines around the city in return for much of their takings.Arumelia has a half-dozen cities mining the Skurbing Mountains to the south, Zurlesti is foremost among them. The traditional Arumelian distaste for non-humans is relaxed a bit for the tremendous aid that is provided by thousands of Rhie dwarves who live in played out mines directly underneath the city. They stay in separate neighborhoods and generally keep to themselves except when working the mines with the humans who they consider hopelessly incompetent in general. Much of the most grueling and dangerous labor is done by goblinoid slaves who live in concentration camp conditions.
