Hidden away in the [[Iron Hills]] lies a small city, home to planetouched and arcanists alike, as well as smugglers, roustabouts, and ne'er-do-wells.

			==Political Structure==
			===Leadership===
			The City is ruled by a being known only as the [[King of Smoke]], a shadowy figure rumored to be more than mortal. He is served by a court of sycophants and hangers-on, but the day-to-day administration of the government largely falls to the Gray Guards and the merchant families.
			===Relationships with other nations===
			Haven was, for centuries, a hidden enclave of castaways and refugees. It developed its own culture, government, and defenses without the interference of the Crescent military. In the last 20 years, however, it has been recognized as sovereign City-State by the [[Jade Imperium]] and the [[Holy Nation of Crescent]]. This happened with the signing of the [[Treaty of St. Kerwyn]].

			Haven is now a bustling city of trade and enterprise, with two [[Lightning Rail]] lines running to [[Ferrodyne]] and [[St. Kerwyn]].

	* The City is difficult to reach. Only accessible at dawn each day, it ~~requires~~ a key to even approach the outer gate, known as the [[Setting Star Gate]]. Most keys ~~are~~ single-use, their magic being consumed with use. Some merchants are known to have multiple-use keys. All keys are attuned to their users. [[Baelwren SummerStorm]] had a single-use key, in the form of a red-gold ring which was also a ring of mind shielding. It was destroyed when she guided the [[Companions of the Rising Sun]] to Haven.		* The City was once very difficult to reach.
