Grofkafan

Grofkafan (formly Letforedz) is a city in Nofkort.

City Description
Grofkafan is a small city that sits at the western-most point of the Nofkort fjords. A large section of the city sits above the water on stilts and platforms that are connected by the frozen waters for half of the year.

Landmarks
The historical palace of Darya Glebof has been almost entirely retrofitted into apartments but its facade still remains.

History
The city was founded by Darya Glebof and her followers prior to the Nofkorti civil war, and was the location of the monarchistic forces final stand against the democractic force. During this time the city was known as Letforedz, a name created for the great white palace Glebof had constructed there, 'let' meaning ice and 'foredz' meaning palace in Nofkorti. After the democratic forces took the town it was renamed Grofkafan (roughly translating to 'blood pool') after the staggering brutality of the fighting that took place for control of the city and how many bodies ended up in the fjord after.

Politics
Grofkafan has three districts; stilt district, coast district, and factory district.

Trade
During the days of Glebof the city was one of the most northerly settlements in Nofkort and much of their trade revolved around the hunting of the monstrosities in the northern wastes. With new technology allowing settlements further to the north in the modern era, the city now focuses on the refinement of these hunted materials rather than the collection. One of their primary exports is forfankas (blubber gas) which the people of Nofkort use to heat their homes and many of their military walkers. There is a small subculture of carvers and craftspeople in Grofkafan who work with ozbuzdozh (bones of monsters) to create trophies for hunters and the wealthy.
