🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

—The best one is, of course, Onkaih. It's a wonderful place for introverts and people focused on their peaceful existence, without being distracted by the temptations and hustle and bustle of big cities. And it's also the headquarters of the guild of scholars, which says a lot. It's very beautiful and picturesque, interesting people live there, and in general, your soul rests, as if you came on vacation. Probably... because I'm currently unemployed.

—In second place is Sizki. You might say that this doesn't fit with the previous conclusion, but the fact is that I'm from there! Big cities have their advantages: no one cares about you, all social services are at hand, there are more jobs and higher salaries, and it is also better protected than the others, as practice shows. In Onkaih, if something happens, you will be missed at best in a week or two. And also, there is a library in Sizki. The best in the world, by the way! For nerds like me, it's literally a relic.

—Then I would put Enlil in third place. I'm a person who is infinitely far from art, but it's better to have such refined peaceful cities with exhibitions and galleries than arenas with altars of sacrifice, isn't it? It's clean, tidy, elegant, the inhabitants are unique, but without negativity... for the most part.

—Let it be Ninamiat. I like how the city and port infrastructure are combined there, there are many interesting (and not always safe) shops, all sorts of tourist things, but not too much, and they also have such a... colorful protector.

—Mufigur. It's like Onkaih, only more dangerous and less welcoming. People hardened by steel live there; one random merchant seems to be able to run a country.

—Perhaps, next is Faris. For me, it's such an average city: there is not much for a peaceful, specialized person to do there, but in the current situation, one cannot deny the usefulness of such military-oriented places. And for people interested in sports, there is probably something to do... or there would be, before the local competition bureau burned down.

—Suggar should be moved down a bit. On the one hand, I don't like the excessive cultural closeness of this city to Kalcitu. As practice has shown, there's a reason for that! But on the other hand, you can really find unique and very useful goods there that can't be found anywhere else in Asuguh. So, a big plus for a big minus.

—Well, let's say Ruzaniel. In the current situation, it would probably be even lower, for obvious reasons... For a person deprived of lucky traits, I don't like the local atmosphere. And I probably wouldn't get along with the local contingent... But I can imagine a whole layer of people who have found a second home here! There is definitely no better place in our country to lose all your savings without a trace.

—Last is Shingen. Wizards and sorcerers may be very useful and cool, but I'm as far from them as... I don't know, come up with a suitable example yourself. We are from different planets and speak different languages, so I will never understand this city.
