With space for larger projects running out on the Inner Isles, the idea was pitched for an entirely new area away from the Inner Isles for a new shining capital city for Southland. The city was planned based on old designs from FriendCraft using the idea of circular cities. A massive outer ring was built as a border, and a smaller inner ring was built to be the city proper. From there, the inner ring was cordoned off into 4 "districts", each to be developed with their own theme and aesthetics. | |||
The name of the city is taken from a city in Taylors fictional novel universe. | |||
=== Park District === | |||
The first developed district was the northeastern slice. The area was walled off with stone and then a hedge wall, falling in line with the nature theme. The inside of the wedge was landscaped, with a running river that flows out into the outer ring, a small lake complete with a beach, and a lush forest of oaks. | |||
The Park also holds the portal that links the city to the Southland Manor Terminus. Conversations however have been had to move the Terminus to Alamkhet at some point, when the city is finished. | |||

The Four Seasons Alamkhet was constructed along the central square, at the corner of the northwestern district. The hotel is 6 stories tall featuring a full bar and restaurant, 48 guest rooms, and great views of The Park District. Construction was finished on March 3rd, 2019. | |||
The remainder of the district is planned to be filled with houses and apartment blocks, as well as an old style manor at the very back, along the outer wall. | |||

The Merchants Square sits at the corner of the southwest district, and is the more prominent feature of the district as of yet. The square will be lined with shops and roads leading deep into the district. Very few plans have been made for the district and as of May 2019, the entire district is walled off. | |||

The primary focus of the district is The Great Library of Alamkhet, which is a sunken pyramid shape, descending down to a reflecting pool at the bottom. The library, when completed, will also feature a massive complex of research facilities and archives. Other government offices will also be relocated to this district, such as the DoD and DoJ, both of which were previously located in Southland Manor and Southland Island, respectively. The two buildings have long been under renovation and construction. | |||
