Uum'Brox

Uum'Brox is one of the five major cities of Hirokir, and is one of the most populous of its cities. It is the capital of the nation of Andukir.

Uum'Brox is short for "The Black Ritual", referring to the ancient ritual which beset Demons onto Hirokir.

Uum'Brox is the most controversial of the Hirokiri cities, being heavily involved in demonic rituals and sacrificial rites. It is considered a place of darkness, and avoided by most people.

## City Layout

Uum'Brox is mostly built inside an ancient large quarry of black rock. Many of the structures within are carved directly into the stone.

Uum'Brox is laid out like a wheel, divided into seven equal districts, each one related to one of the seven Demonlords of Hirokir. At the very centre is the Temple of Hir.

### Keldai District

The Keldai District is dedicated to the warriors of Uum'Brox. It is dominated by large barracks, armouries, and weapon crafters. This is also where the Azorkel, the berserker cambions of Hirokir, are created. The shamans and mages of this district focus on blood magic, and often have the ability to draw power from rage, but also to rapidly calm down themselves, or other creatures.

### Kolodai District

The Kolodai District is mostly a combination of quarries, mines, and enormous monolithic constructions. This district is where the building materials for the rest of Uum'Brox are sourced. This is where the Akkolo, giant strong cambions, are created. The shamans at the Temple of Kolodai understand the balance between destruction and creation innately.

### Vaasdai District

The shadowy Vaasdai District is a lonely place of dark alleys and squat buildings, interspersed with patches of jungle. It is much more wild than the rest of the city. The hunters and assassins of Uum'Brox live and train here, and it is where the mysterious Akvaas are created. The shamans of this district are masters of shadows, and dark magic.

### Pazadai District

The Pazadai District is a strange, hidden place. On the surface it may seem ordinary, but the Pazadai district thrives in the cramped spaces between buildings, and beneath the ground. This district is dominated by large hospitals, apothecaries, alchemy labs, herbalism buildings, gardens, and medical academies. Many Anjita, Hirokiri doctors, are trained here. However, in the hidden spaces, strange insect life thrives, and there are rumours that many of the patients of this district are experimented on, or fed to the bugs.

### Azjodai District

The Azjodai District is the largest marketplace in Uum'Brox, and is dedicated mostly to trade and diplomacy. The splendor of the fantastic products on display is almost enough to distract from the enormous cobwebs that hang from many of the buildings, and the many eyes that peer from the shadows. The people of this district are intimately familiar with the interplay of truth and lies.

### Skaradai District

The Skaradai District is a place of indulgence and intoxication. It is home to many alcohol breweries, and hallucinogenic substances can easily be found here. The shamans of the Temple of Skaradai wield powerful psychic magic.

### Luzodai District

The Luzodai District is easily characterised by greed and desire. It is home to Uum'Brox's treasury, and also all manner of unsavoury entertainments. The brothels of this district are infamous.

### The Temple of Hir

The Temple of Hir is the largest building in the city, a huge black ziggurat within which the governing body of Uum'Brox is centred. Here is where the Kalazor, the magically empowered guardians of Hirokir, are created and operate from. The unifying influence of Hir tones down the darkness evident in the other districts, and keeps the city together.
