Cazar

Plain of Akzolok
The Akzolians, who are the founders most populous ethnicity within Cazar, initially inhabited in the Woods Of Tierra. After long periods economic hardship and drought the Akzolians migrated and eventually founded the Plains of Akzolok, which they named after themselves. A happy and prosperous small settlement the Akzolians lived a happy life there. One winter the then leader of the Akzolians, a man named Robotcaz, left for a hunting trip with a few dozen hunters, upon returning the hunting party discovered the Akzolians had been massacred. With only 20%-30% of the population surviving.

Cazar
After the Massacre at The Plains of Akzolok the surviving Akzolians headed to Genegerbread's village, after hearing of the safety and prosperity that the area would provide. Upon arrival some settled down, however due to the small size of the village, and a want for a sense of self identity, many Akzolians decided to move on, and attempted to establish their own settlement. Trekking along the Ironberry highway the Akzolians reached a junction and found an ancient ruin of a temple. Upon entering it was discovered a vast, yet empty, set of caverns lay underneath. The Akzolians decided to settle, and soon started building a city within the caverns.

Races
The most populous race in Cazar or Akzolians, the descents of the Survivors of the Massacre of The Plains of Akzolok. Other than Akzolians much of the population are mixed between Akzolians and another race, however in eyes of the society of Cazar these individuals are often still considered Akzolians. Other races from other settlements in Posit make up most of the remainder of the population. Only about 3.4% of the population are of a race not from the Posit region.

Akzolians view canine companions with a holy eye. This is because during the great migration of Akzolians from the Plains of Akzolok to Posit the Akzolians were guided by a small pack of wild dogs. These dogs then stayed in Cazar after it's founding, and many canines in Cazar are decedents of the original pack.

Classes
The Population of is split between three classes.

The Elite
The elite class, of whom 85% are ethnically Akzolians, they live in the Neighbourhood of Dua. This class is the wealthiest in Cazar, however due their cruel historical treatment, many Akzolians within the Elite are very charitable and pass wealth to the lower classes. This class makes up 15% of the population.

The Middle Class
Found within the neighbourhood of Missal, the middle class makes up 65% of the population. The middle class of Cazar enjoys a comfortable and safe life. The middle class is able to afford housing payments, food bills and a few luxuries. 78% of the middle class is ethnically Akzolian.

The "Vulnerable" Class
Inhabiting the neighbourhood of Briggs this group, who are officially referred to as "The Vulnerable Class" is comprised of the poorest residents of Cazar. The official name is used in an attempt to lessen social stigma against this class. Many in class struggle to afford food, however charity is greatly valued by all in Cazar, especially the Akzolians, so most of the Vulnerable are able to get the help they need. This group is 82% Akzolian and makes up 20% of the population.

Location
Found deep within the Region of Posit Cazar's territory is larger than many individuals often presume. Cazar borders IronBerry to the East and the Woods of 2n1n to the west. The southern border of Cazar has no neighbours, but boasts a vast and wild birch forest. Adjacent to the North border of Cazar is the future site of IronBerry Quarry. Cazar maintains a positive relationship with all those in Posit. As well as with Forest's edge, with many Akzolians, the predominant group within Cazar, having worked for Canadika shortly after the Massacre at the Plain of Akzolok.

City Entrance
The main, entrance to Cazar is location just south of the Northern Tunnel. It is surrounded by the wooden framing of the ancient ruins that the Akzolians first entered and discovered the caverns within.

Warriors Outlook
This mountaintop sculpture predates the arrival of the Akzolians, however is much younger then the ancient ruins. The outlook was built around the same time as the Northern Tunnel by the founders of Posit. Although not as sacred to the citizens of Cazar as the ancient ruins are, most citizens still view it with great respect. Warriors Outlook is located in the western end of the territory that Cazar holds.

Northern Tunnel
This tunnel, built by hand by the founders of Posit is a key connection for Cazar to the Northern areas of Posit.

Ancient Ruins
These ruins, whose builders are unknown, are of unknown age. Very little remains, other than a wooden frame, and ruined stone staircase, which the government of Cazar refuses to renovate. Many residents, especially the Akzolians, worship the ruins, as a sentient deity who gave them shelter and safety.

Flag
The Flag of Cazar is a red background, with a black triangle on top, and the lower third covered by a light grey rectangle. The light grey bottom represent the depth of the caves of which Cazar is within, as-well as the colour of the stone which is found under the dirt of Cazar. The Red is said represent the blood of those who died before Cazar was founded, and during its construction. The black represents the coal which powers the city, and which is found within the stone.

Economy
Cazar is often classified as the poorest settlement within Posit. Even the elite of Cazar are only economically on par with the middle class of most other settlements. Most of the economy is derived from mining. Although lots of Coal is mined, Cazar does not export Coal, as it uses it all itself. Most of the exports from Cazar are Redstone and Gold. The location of Cazar, right on the junction of Major branches of the Ironberry highway, provides a small, yet important trade economy to Cazar. A very small tourism industry is also present. Some of Cazar's most impoverished residents take jobs, usually hard labour, from other settlements and send the payment they receive to their families back home in Cazar.
