## Culture

Aroughs is a major metropolis. They differ to Uru'Baen to look out for the needs of the country as a whole but that is only to secure prosperous trades. Merchants don't make money if they don't have anyone to sell to.

### Population

The 25,000 beings that live in this city are hugely diverse. Due to the access to the sea and the mouth of the river there is everything from Humans to Dragonborn. Also the less humanoid are less populous. If there is animosity between races it is a passing thought. Through the 300 years that this city has existed it has done so because they band together. Because of this the guard is evenly diverse.

This is a society of knowledge. Children go to a public school, all children.
