On the City of Tyr…

  The city of Tyr, known as Eleril during the Trohman Domination, eventually became so large over time that a former ruler of the city, the Cleric-Major known as Rohannan, divided it into five districts for easier management. The center portion of the city, which was actually the original city of Eleril, became the Old City. The outer sections became the four districts of Avis, Agor, Gotan, and Ohvro. Rohannan appointed four new Clerics-Major to run those districts, and then created a new rank for himself, the Cleric-Justicier, to whom the Majors would report, a system which still exists today. As time passed, a sixth section of the city appeared, called Harbortown, a motley collection of buildings and huts that stretched from outside the western wall to the eastern bank of the nearby Mirken River, however it was not run as the other districts were. It was merely patrolled like any other camp or village outside the walls of Tyr. The actual administration of Harbortown is left to an elected position amongst the Kirza, the merchant class of Harbortown, called the Dockmaster.
