The '''Elendel Basin'''
== Geography ==
Some of the major cities besides Elendel are [[Mycondwel]], [[Tathingdwel]] where the [[Terris]]people live, [[Alendel]], [[Wyllion]], [[Dazarlomue]], [[Drypost]], [[Rashekin]], [[Vindiel-Cameux]], [[Doxonar]], [[Doriel]], [[Tarier]], [[Elmsdel]], [[Garmet]], [[New Seran]], and [[Bilming]]. There is a small farming settlement, [[Dulsing]], which the [[Set]] is interested in. It grows excellent tomatoes {{book ref|mb6|15}}. The Basin is bordered by the [[Sea of Yomend]] and the [[Sea of Lennes]] to the east. All rivers lead to Elendel, in the center.

== Politics ==
Early on, Elendel was stable and the outer cities were rural and peaceful. Later on, the workers of Elendel became extremely unhappy at their government. There was eventually a police takeover when Mayor Innate declared the city under martial law, and therefore the police were legally in charge, and had the authority to replace Innate. Many of the other cities however, are still very angry at Elendel, and claim that the government there is corrupt. All the rivers go through Elendel, and all the railways go towards it. This enables Elendel to levy taxes on all the other cities' goods.
Interestingly, some sort of flat-tax is placed on all cities by the city of Elendel for government and infrastructure, though this money goes exclusively towards guards at docks and maintaining railroads. This money does not pay for things like the Governor's salary. However, Elendel also taxes all goods traded through Elendel, and it is implied that this is what pays for things like government salaries. The outer cities consider this unjustified, not without reason. The
Most cities have their own local administrations. With the apparent exception of commerce and infrastructure, there does not seem to be an overarching government, though constabularies seem to have a degree of camaraderie.
