City Diasporas and Open Neighbourhoods

Avarra’s great cities are not showrooms for one people. Majorities affect politics, but neighbourhoods, guilds, guesthouses, and shared-work networks make room for almost every people.

City	Visible diaspora networks	Local principle
Elyrakök	Bugbear, Harengon, Fairy, Aetherborn and forest peoples	Grove oath and neighbourhood garden
Namaris	Plasmoid, Boggart, sea peoples and caravan families	Water share, pool and wharf right
Halvek	Harengon, Verdan, Khoravar and migrant artisans	Apprenticeship and guest bed
Ordanor	Kalashtar, Vedalken, Khoravar, Gith and peoples from across the empire	Recorded status is distinct from lived identity
Astereth	Vedalken, Simic Hybrids, Astral Elves and research guilds	Accessible design and open archive
Saar-Kor	Giff, Leonin, Flamekin, Dragonborn and savanna peoples	Watch, training and waterway
Mazaros	Hadozee, Thri-kreen, Harpy, Kalamer and sea travellers	Rescue share and port partnership
Kar-Dur	Rimekin, Shadar-kai, Goliath and deep-craft peoples	Winter stores and passage service
Nine Lanterns / Dark Harbour	Gith, Ruinbound, Gnoll, Worg, Medusa, Gargoyle and old underground peoples	Air, light and passage are common goods

A character from a rare people can find more than someone of similar ancestry: an old work partner, a familiar innkeeper, a shared watch, a neighbourhood council, or a regular route to a distant village. Diaspora is ordinary city infrastructure, not an exception sealed into a “foreign quarter.”
