Aerfel is the capital and most populous city of Sarconia. Like most Sarconian cities, over half the city's population lives in Nuhe (Sarconian: "Cloth") districts. A style of housing unique to Doren, these consist of thousands of yurts densely pitched together, with residents sharing communal public facilities and infrastructure. Due to the desolation of the Second Continental War and relatively rapid development and rebuilding in the early 22nd century, Aerfel's skyline is a sharp juxtaposition of modern skyscrapers and buildings and these sprawling semi-permanent single family dwellings.
History
During the Shattering Aerfel was struck directly by a Slow Bomb, igniting the plains to the east of the Sarconian Sea and destroying almost every permanent structure in the city. By the late stages of the conflict however, most residents had abandoned the capital and relocated their mobile homesteads and families across the Dorvic plains.
