Akersim
Akersim is a coastal city located at the mouth of the Anir river in Southern Mosaî. Its citizens have a reputation for arrogance throughout the empire, but the city itself is remarkably peaceful due to an authoritarian (but hospitable) government.
The city is one of the largest in the empire and was built on and over the Anir river. It is criss-crossed by a series of canals that serve as the major thoroughfares. Travel across the city almost always involves rides on flat-bottomed rowing boats.
The city guard patrols the streets routinely to maintain law and order and enforce a dizzying array of local rules and regulations. Punishments for infractions vary from harsh to extremely harsh – however they are almost never carried out in public. Even when faced with violence, the guard take great pains to remove the offender(s) from public view before dealing with them.
