Adrasteia

As far as Aitian cities go, Adrasteia is among the largest. Widely considered the capital of Aite by those in the region, Adrasteia has long been seen as a place to avoid. With rampant crime, constant in-fighting that often spills over into neighboring settlements and long-running feuds between local gangs, few felt safe within the city limits.

A recent push by entrepreneur Bryan Cross, heir to the Torthus-Cross fortune, has lead to many changes in and around Adrasteia. The city has been split up into sectors, and zoned appropriately. The heart of the city, for example, has been renovated and converted entirely into a shopping district. The closest thing Adrasteia has seen to real honest-to-goodness civilized living in a long time.

The Adrasteia Enforcers, a cause for much controversy, act as a sort of 'law enforcement' around Adrasteia. Entirely controlled by Cross, they're more akin to a privatized army than any sort of police. Many Enforcers are ex-gang members or bandits that, at one time, took advantage of the citizens of Adrasteia. The Enforcer roll out has been slow, but it has definitely seen a decline in crime around the heart of the city. The outskirts, however, are every bit as dangerous as ever.
