			==Rebirth==
	Nowadays Alsem is Conquista's gateway to the rest of the [[:Category:Wartorn Cluster\|Wartorn Cluster's]] civilized domains, seeing as it guards the route by which trade enters and leaves the land. It is also a refuge for people who have fled from other domains to Conquista, and has incorporated many foreign architectural styles during its reconstruction. The city is ''also'' the first line of defense against another invasion from the direction of Vieuxlyons, and as such has powerful defenses and well-disciplined ''[[:Category:Hombre Valiente\|Hombres Valientes]]''. As a trade hub and gathering-place for travelers, the city has considerable financial and skill capital at its disposal.

As a trade hub and gathering-place for travelers, the city has considerable financial and skill capital at its disposal.

			==The Governor==
	Much of Alsem's cosmopolitan character and prosperity is owed to its current civil governor / commander of the local ''[[:Category:Hombre Valiente\|Hombres Valientes]]'', [[Francisco Hareleg]], who has decreed a crackdown on corruption at every level of society, investigation of every crime, and that important positions should actually be filled by people who are capable of the associated tasks, rather than those who are capable of paying bribes or citing ancestry. Although this flies in the face of Conquista's traditions of racism, sexism and classicism, the population of Alsem adores him, and Alsem is probably more prosperous than the domain's capital of [[Hughsrest]].

			==Magic==
	The countryside around Alsem is lousy with [[Witch\|Witches]], many of them of the [[evil]] variety. The governor/commander's decision to defy Conquistan and [[Taiia\|Taiian]] custom of persecuting [[:Category:Arcane Spellcaster\|arcane spellcasters]] has actually persuaded more benign Witches to '' ally'' with the city and join in its defense.

			==Crime==
			The city is sadly not crime-free, as its wealth attracts criminals, but the local syndicates have cracked down on violent crime and resistance to arrest. Alsem's wealth clearly comes from its climate of peace and order, and the city is a rare place in Conquista where an arrested criminal can expect fair treatment and a fair trial. The criminal syndicates ''really'' do not want to rock the boat, so they enforce a code of conduct. Criminals who fail to follow the code and manage to evade arrest are likely to be quietly dealt with by the syndicates.

			==Religion==
	{{Spec\|Presumably, the [[Taiia\|Taiian]] sect known as the [[True Gardeners]] have a strong presence in Alsem, as their message of equality meshes well with local culture.}}		{{Spec\|Presumably, the [[Taiia\|Taiian]] sect known as the [[True Gardeners]] have a strong presence in Alsem, as their message of equality meshes well with local culture.}}

Nowadays Alsem is Conquista's gateway to the rest of the [[:Category:Wartorn Cluster|Wartorn Cluster's]] civilized domains, seeing as it guards the route by which trade enters and leaves the land. It is also a refuge for people who have fled from other domains to Conquista, and has incorporated many foreign architectural styles during its reconstruction.
