Simba

When first entering the city of Simba, the first thing you’ll
notice is the lack of security. The city is completely open on
all ends and lacks any kind of gate or city wall, meaning that
anyone can come and go into the streets as they please, with no
one stopping or checking them in any way. There is no
enforcement and thugs and criminals are free to roam the street
alongside the regular populace as a standard occurrence, and
it’s difficult to truly tell them apart. The buildings and the
population are both rugged and dirty, initially unwelcoming and
cynical to outsiders who have no idea what they’re getting
themselves into. Previously a city within the Dan Graftian
Empire, Simba is now an independent city-state.
To many, Simba is a city of opportunity. There is no law and no
public authority, which means there’s no one to stand in the way
of your efforts and ideas... except the Simbinianhans
themselves. With their inherent mistrust of authority comes also
a distrust for outsiders who are not accustomed to their ways of
life, making the city a dangerous place to be as newcomers are
subject to muggings and assault more often than any regular
citizen. But, it’s not entirely untrue that Simba acts the host
of untold possibility.
In Simba, it’s possible to pursue a wide variety of goals.
Especially goals that are illegal or regarded as immoral in
other cities. Gamblers, thieves, budding spies and brawlers
often start their lives in Simba's dangerous streets. The city's
fierce nature gives her people the wisdom to stay on their toes
at all times, else you end up just another body in a
long-forgotten alleyway. You come to Simba if you want a
challenge in your life or just the right kind of “push” to
discover your true potential. The city has no complicated
philosophy to teach; just die-hard survival and opportunism.
The real power of Simba lies in the ironclad will of the people.
Though they often disagree -- violently -- they are one in the
sense of their utter hatred of control. In a sense, the city
stands as a democracy, where the opinion of every individual is
heard among the masses, albeit that opinion is more often
ignored than considered. The people's voting process takes the
form of large scale riots and rebellion, taking the heads of
those that would dare try to control the rambunctious freemen of
the city. This is, of course, only when one man or group proves
to be just too oppressive or controlling to allow.
