Xavax
Xavax is a small city located on the southeastern coastline of the East Island, south of the city of Isadril.
The city is home to just under 20,000 people. Wood buildings have been built upon old, ruined marble foundations existent from before the Ice overtook the area (the marble likely gathered from around Oc Lu Pesh and the Mines of Isadril during better times). Buildings are slowly being repaired and improved upon alongside more modern structures of varied styles conforming to the mixed tastes of the people, with much of the material scavenged from lesser older buildings and wood cut from the nearby forests. Due to the fog and generally a wet, cool environment, the walls and few stone buildings require lots of maintenance from constant rains and erosion. There are clear boundaries between military and civilian sections of the city. Military districts have thicker smoke from smithies (military service is classified as an appropriate tax after all) and there are more stone buildings there which are constantly being rebuilt.
The civilian areas, including the Harbor, have wooden buildings with high steeples, many are lopsided from the haste of their construction and generally being mist-soaked most of the time but if managed well don't rot and breakdown. Streets are rarely wide enough for anything bigger than a cart and there are many alleyways and small paths. There are small open market squares, but nothing like a distinct market or merchant district. A few true major roads coming from the main gateways, with multiple branching and twisting minor roads, alleyways, and paths making up the bulk.
