Saygal

Saygal is a city within the Elkler Empire located on the southern coast of Elkler Bluffs on the continent of Kezara. Saygal is considered one of the four 'core' cities of the empire, of which it is relatively the newest but third largest. It currently serves as a home to a population of nearly 19 million people (predominantly Elkler).

History
Following the end of the 'Hundred Sided War', the Elkler Empire, under the leadership of Emperor Juljong the Terrible, underwent a period of rapid growth and development. As part of an effort to deal with overpopulation, Emperor Juljong initiated a movement to colonize and urbanize the southern bluffs, land which has not previously been inhabited because of its distance from the life-giving Golara river. One of the first of these settlements, Saygal came into existence at the end of the Second Age. Thanks to its vast natural harbor, its proximity to the crossing, and its easy access the rest of the empire through the use of the extremely efficient Elken road system, Saygal has grown tremendously in its short history, and is now one of the principal ports for both global traders and the Elken Navy.
