Ziggurat

Ziggurat is the first city built by the Pax-Viribus Theocracy after their exile at the hands of the Iron Coalition.  They had taken the skills and knowledge they learned from the sacred wanderers and applied it to their lives.  Situated at the mouth of the River Topeka as well as on the coast of the Gulf Of Kemet, the city provides an abundance of freshwater Boar-Bass to the Theocracy as well as sea stock like Pepperrels and Shirecrabs.  Irrigation canals have been dug to facilitate the construction of Hatchcord and Tuft Seed farms.  There is also a strong mining sector in the east of the city, at the base of the Aeryanis Mountain Range.  Here the city primarily mines Cinderite and Aeryan Emeralds, as well as the caverns containing underground pools of Thulian Acetate, a highly endothermic compound and an important precursor to Miekel’s Fire.  
At the heart of the city stands a massive structure known as the Sacropolis.  It is where all major societal functions are held: hospitality and medical care, legal deliberations and administration,  religious services, etc.  More importantly, it is where the bulk of the city’s product is stored for inventory and distribution.  There are no markets in Ziggurat, no economy; all citizens work at the direction of the Seers, who divine their commands from the Gods Of The Passage.  All items that are produced in the city are taken and redistributed by divine commandment.  Any persons caught keeping their goods will either be exiled or executed, as they have shown their lack of faith in the Theocracy.
