HAJOTH HAKADOS

Hajoth Hakados is one of the oldest cities in Numeria. Originally founded by the Black Horse clan over nine thousand years ago. Hajoth Hakados was a jewel in the crown of the kingdom of Sarkoris long before Numeria was its own sovereign territory. With the fall of Sarkoris it has become one of the last standing remnants of the ancient Kellid kingdoms of the north.

​

Up until the last century, Hajoth Hakados had laid as a ruin after multiple sackings from rival clans, giants, pirates, and an exodus of Kellid from the north following the collapse of Sarkoris. By the time Lady Altouna arrived the city had no formal leadership and a massive influx of foreign crusaders passing by on their way to the Worldwound. Lady Altouna and her confidant Cythrul turned disaster into opportunity, and within thirty years turned Hajoth Hakados into a mercantile and military power.

Hajoth Hakados prospers from its reputation for tolerance and neutrality toward disparate groups, such as the Pathfinder Society (who maintain a lodge here), the Aspis Consortium, numerous churches, Kellid clans, and mercenary groups like the Steel Phalanx. Violence between rival factions is kept in check through economic and military means. Groups who eschew Hajoth Hakados’s political neutrality swiftly find themselves charged exorbitant fees for even the most mundane supplies, or cut off from trade altogether. Members of the Technic League are not welcome inside the walls of Hajoth Hakados, and are removed from the city if discovered. As such, Hajoth Hakados does not pay taxes to the Black Sovereign and blatantly challenge the Technic League's influence. Hajoth Hakados and its residents take pride in their free city and will do anything to defend it.
