Zerot

Zerot was established by a Dromite named Jaqad. He founded the settlement in a secure area, situated high upon the bluffs overlooking the Sea of Mourning. In this region, his pirate crews, numbering close to 200 Dromites, established a place where they would commence the process of generating more of their kind. Jaqad joined with another Dromite possessing female characteristics, thereby initiating the Gyalech bloodline. Together, these two assumed their most crucial responsibility, providing a year's supply of Dromite eggs. These were then hatched in the settlement's hive core. The process proved remarkably fruitful, with more than the usual number of eggs maturing, and the Elected Consort Jaqad became a permanent position. He would reside out the remainder of his days in the crèches lining the city's innermost areas.

Zerot is situated at the northernmost point of Smicker's Fjord. The deep harbor of this town and the narrow causeway leading to it render the location highly defensible. Numerous cannon batteries and watchtowers line the lofty walls that oversee this causeway. Zerot is a squalid place, with refuse strewn across the streets and drifting along the docks. Encountering a floating corpse or two in the harbor is not an uncommon sight.

The Mezzorn Shipwrights, a prominent ship building company, have their headquarters located in Zerot. This organization, which originated in the city of Mezzorn, pioneered the design of the innovative Gyalech Speeders.

In the Second Epoch, issues with their neighboring powers, including Paradomea, Ivory Asylum, the Council of Bile, and others, prompted the establishment of a defensive alliance. Zerot became the capital of this League of Gyalech.
