Form of government : Authoritarian state - ruled by the militia, and advised by a council of those faithful to Arctus/Amia Suluna
Official deity : Arctus and Amia Suluna
Location : East bank of the Lower Volaes, some distance from the Ocean itself. Two days north of Port Cigomenta, one tenday south of Crossing. Kommal woods far (distance currently undetermined) to the East.
Major resources : Access to the ocean for fishing, sprawing farmlands to the east of the city, large citizenship allows for highly specialized workers producing high-quality objects.
Average person's wealth level : Poor
Taxes : Sale of items by permit, 10% taxes taken from these sales.
Food sources : Cattle, pigs, chicken, various grains/vegetables, all from the farms outside the city. Fishing vessels bringing in catches, cycling in regularly.
Major landmarks : Mage's tower, militia grounds, tranquility inn, docks, open marketplace
Imports : Iron and other metals, primarily from Fograd - this has become more difficult of late due to Fograd's recent troubles. Wood is typically shipped in from the Kommal woods, where lumberjacks tend to come into conflict with local kobold tribes - there are some now seeking trade deals with them, however, as kobolds may be able to provide a new source of metals.
Exports : Food running north to Crossing, mainly, with some cattle being shipped to Fograd. Many people seeking magic items come to Vaeles for the Mage's Tower, and the city is well known for producing many high-quality mundane objects, from leatherworking to wagon building.
