	Cosmopolitan is the polite term for powerful merchants in the government that favor none of the existing factions, or favor some other position, such as free trade with all nations, dissolving the Confederation back into independent city-states, or closer ties with some unnamed group or nation. The impolite term is "squib".

			===Admiral Rrrao Borr'Gorak, Andarr Confederate Navy===

			The imposing wemic, Rrao Borr'Gorak, leads the Andarr Confederate Navy, keeping the shores safe from all would-be invaders from abraod. As a descendent of General Akorrro Borr'Gorak of [[Arvanos]], his military heritage goes back generations, but over the last two centuries the family's loyalties shifted toward Andarr and [[The Seven Cities]], and away from [[Arvanos]]. Despite the gradual shift, Rrrao's loyalty to Andarr is unflagging and he runs the Confederate navy like a finely oiled machine with no one daring to oppose his position.

			Rrrao and his family are unusual among wemics in that they prefer to involve themselves in the affairs of cities and roam out among the seas. Some say it is an odd quirk of their family traits. Others say it comes from a curse placed on some distant ancestor that the family should never want to roam the plains of the [[Kurathene]] ever again.

			===The Mainmast Inn===

			Located in the docks district a couple of blocks off the water on the northern side of the river is a popular watering hole for sailors known as The Mainmast Inn. This establishment is known to be a rough and tumble dive which has persisted in the area for at least two centuries, passing from owner to owner. Despite its appearance, it runs a lucrative business keeping new visitors satiated and acting as a rendezvous point for those seeking to charter ships out of the city.

			The building is a squat two-story structure with rooms on the second floor available for rent. Sailors seeking a clean bed and decent meal tend to go elsewhere, but anyone needing a cheap place to bunk for the night would have no trouble getting a room on most occasions. The lower floor is a common room with a hearth over which a giant swordfish is preserved. It was said to be caught by Swilly "Fish-eye" Macrunk, but not before taking his right eye.

			===Alhara Lendrion, Guildmistress, The Grey Dirk===

			The elusive and illustrious elf, Alhara Lendrion, leads one of the most powerful Rogue's Guilds on the surface of Negaria, The Grey Dirk. Under her leadership, The Grey Dirks have prospered beyond their wildest dreams and filled Alhara's own pockets proportionally.

			The safest thing to say about Alhara is she is only seen when she wants to be seen. This may be at a high level merchant lord gala, a meeting of the Andarr National Council, or a tavern in the Docks District. However, in times when she wishes to remain hidden, she is not found in any of these places.

			In order to rise past a certain point in the guild, it is necessary to interact with Alhara. She keeps a tight reign on the upper echelons of her guild and generally allows her lieutenants free run with the day-to-day operations, as long as they do not fail. Failure is not pleasing to her at all.

	Swilly runs the temple and accepts donations to keep it "afloat" with much snark and humor. However, when it comes to safety and luck on the seas, Swilly is dead serious. He attends to the sailors coming through his area and sees to it that [[Ingoren]] favors them. Since he is too old and frail to venture out on his own, he is content in his work.

Though she is proud of her role, she seems to long for a more rural life away from the drugery of academia, but this admission only tends to come out after several rounds of crawling through The Tavern District, according to those who know her. Nevertheless, she is steadfast in her duties, though some wonder if there is the possibility of a double life, where her behavior is not so regimented and predictable.

			===Temple of the Green Gale Waves===

			In the Southern Residential District is a beautiful building comprised entirely of sea glass, both inside and out. Even the pews within the main worship hall surround a saltwater pool that is visible at any angle due to the clarity of the glass from which all of the furniture is fashioned. Here is the center of worship of [[Ingoren]], god of the sea.

			Insofar as the worship of [[Ingoren]] goes, this temple is an oddity and the only known large one dedicated to him. Most of [[Ingoren]]'s centers of worship are little more than smelly shrines by the side of the docks found in most coastal cities. This exception came about because of the large number of sailors residing in [[Andarr]], for however briefly they may be on land, as well as the even larger number of sailors passing through the city.
