 **Business People** - While the Raiken do not have a currency, business is still prevalent, primarily on the shadier end in the Underland. **Business People** - While the Raiken do not have a currency, business is still prevalent, primarily on the shadier end in the Underland.
     * **Sulvai Slevexa Coincounter** - While the Raiken don't use currency themselves, Sulvai is a pioneer in attempting to utilize outsider currency, with promising results. Tall, wiry, and brown-scaled like most Slevexans, Sulvai can usually be found around the entrances to the Grand Bazaaar. He is charged with keeping an eye on the dealings and trade across the isles, mainly ensuring illegal goods are kept out.     * **Sulvai Slevexa Coincounter** - While the Raiken don't use currency themselves, Sulvai is a pioneer in attempting to utilize outsider currency, with promising results.

-    * **Izik** - A dirty yellow-scaled Dralu in charge of the Black Market on Riverside. Perpetually drunk, generally unpleasant, and far from polite, Izik is still the person to see to get anything under the sun for a cost. Oddly enough, he owes just about everyone some amount of money from gambling debt.+//** "Y'know, these outsiders might be on to something. Why trade grain for timber when you can trade it for this 'money' instead? Trade for whatever you want with it, no hassle! Do me a favor and don't tell the chief I said that." **//

 Like any other Alliance city, occupations cover every facet of life, although only Alliance citizens are permitted to work. Visitors are seldom permitted to work within Alliance territory, if at all. Aeras Daramai features approximately the same distribution as any other city, with construction workers, cleaning personnel, supply officials, Protectors of the Alliance peacekeepers and soldiers, entertainers, shipwrights, feastmasters and their staff, and countless others. Perhaps the only real oddity of Aeras Daramai are the traders within the Bazaar, who deal with larger scale trades than the requisition system permits for individuals. Like any other Alliance city, occupations cover every facet of life, although only Alliance citizens are permitted to work.

 +Aeras Daramai shares much of its appearance with the Alliance capital, Sial'roshya. Rather than traditional stone and wood architecture laden with art, Alliance buildings are generally constructed of metal and adopt a 'blocky' look. Even the tallest buildings are rarely over three-four stories. Decorations are limited to designated areas, such as parks or other places of recreation. However, these recreational areas are rich with statuary and grand stone carvings.
 +
 +The Underland has a more 'vibrant' appearance with its mix of vassal races and Alliance construction. While most of the public buildings are Alliance made, most others bear the marks of whatever race constructed them. Raiken keeps are traditional stone fortresses. Dralu homes and markets are crowded, haphazard, and winding. Rorin communities are mostly spherical in nature, many buildings akin to a stack of bubbles, none of which have stairs. Carnin hives appear unassuming on the surface, mounds with some sizable entryways, but mask the sheer size of the hivecity below, a mess of tunnels and chambers, all teeming with Carnin.

 On the Isles, each island is connected to the other via wide suspension bridges. Otherwise, a simple network of paved roads allow access to most of the isles. In the interest of saving space, as the islands are not terribly large, these roads are all a single lane, with appropriate sidewalks on either side. To the Raiken, this is fitting, as most do not utilize motorized transport. In fact, motorized transport is typically only used on the isles by the Alliance to move freight or other cargo. Motor transport for single individuals is practically non-existent. As such, the usual method for navigating the isles is walking. On the Isles, each island is connected to the other via wide suspension bridges.

-However, the Alliance does utilize aircraft shuttles, for public transport or moving cargo. Each islands does have a shuttle station and these shuttles operate on a standardized time with routes. Shuttles on these schedules do make stops at the Underland.+However, the Alliance does utilize aircraft shuttles for public transport or moving cargo.

 Underland transport is much the same as Isle transport, with roads connecting the various districts and motorized transport being generally limited to Alliance use. The Underland has the same shuttle system as the Isles, with stops around the most important centers. Underland transport is much the same as Isle transport, with roads connecting the various districts and motorized transport being generally limited to Alliance use.
