Joahenn

Culture
The city itself is bustling at any given time with a variety of goods changing hands whether it's legal or not. Most partons are visiting and only approved vendors are permitted to reside permanently on the islane, however, the lack of law enforcement anywhere restricts the ability to monitor who comes and goes. Such freedoms allow varying crimes to take place within the limits of Joahenn, but at the same time, having been caught in the act leaves punishment to the victim's discretion. There are many unspoken rules regarding protections, especially when it comes to both the individual and their product..

History
Once an underhanded black market for traders who sought to turn the tide during the war, the launch of airships have revealed the location of the hidden haven. In order to preserve what they'd fought so hard to create, a group of experienced traders formed an independant leadership to declare Joahenn an unaffiliated City-State.

Being in the public eye and allowing themselves to be visible to the outside world was a challenge, especially given all the effort they'd put forth to do so. No treaty has been signed, doing such would sway the public's opinion of them, so there's no current say in who they're allied to. This is to uphold the foundation as well as the morals that shaped the community they built. Despite this, construction on an airship dock has begun in part to server for further and larger trades in the future.

Populace
Residing persons oft have a history in illegal trades, rings, and the like. Such folk tend to keep themselves well protected now that their haven has been exposed. Coming to the island is almost guaranteed to grant one a metaphorical target on their back, leaving them prone to crimes or scams if they're unsure of how things work. Being an outsider to the conduct there as well as a victim may leave you in the dark, since a majority of them are tight lipped with their own agenda.

Climate
The central location of the island prevents anyone from experiencing snow or heavy waters without the aid of environmental magiks. This in mind, summers and springs are hot and humid.

Economy
The economy is one of the best on the face of Eliakim. Based entirely on barter, it's very rare that one leaves empty-handed. Many services provided are not policed, allowing one to receive both moral and immoral goods and services as well as contraband at will.
