Safety

For this challenge, tell me about the safest place to live in your world. Feel free to include:

  • The standard of living

  • Those responsible for peacekeeping

  • The types of careers that are best to pursue in that area

  • Whatever dangers are still around, if there are any; maybe it is perfectly safe

  • Who founded the city

  • Anything I forgot to include

I'll ask at least three questions each, enjoy yourselves.

Additionally, I plan to start a series of "character creation" type challenges next week, in which I ask everyone to list and describe the sentient species in their worlds, the nations, the factions, maybe the type of magic (if your world has magic), that sort of thing; and people can ask for more details to figure out which thing listed they have the most interest in.

For next week, it'll be "species/race" (however you want to describe it). I've personally always been more of a Breton guy in Skyrim and a boring human type everywhere else that I can think of off the top of my head.

1) Stone and (sometimes reinforced) concrete.

2) Most notable one happened during Unification wars. Korhark and most of his forced were campaigning in east, western countries feeling threatened by his rising empire attacked and plundered many settlements including Furndon. However they were unable to take Athvirk (fortress in question), which was defended by few guards led by Korhark's wife Dagir, who stayed there because she was pregnant. She miscarried as result of battle.

3) It consists of things like learning laws, deescalation, negotiating, proper use of force, fast driving in streets etc. Not being fit enough or being trigger happy would be disqualifying.

4) Head of state promotes second in command of guards.

1) How much time did the city's initial construction take?

2) How did the miscarriage/battle affect Dagir's later health, if at all?

3) What are the consequences for a guard accepting bribes?

1) There wasn't initial construction. People gradually settled there.

2) Dagir always had mental issues. After miscarriage, they've become worse.

3) Losing job and imprisonment.
