This is the old core of Ag-Darxes, the town on the coast that was captured by the crusaders of Lesser Tixryn and made into the capital of an empire. Little remains from those days, as the suburb was almost entirely rebuilt in the time of Onexeras, in fine large dwellings of imported grey stone to house the professional classes of the new city. Today many of these have been subdivided into cheap boarding houses, but Darxu Hev is still a comfortably middle-class area, the home of many well-to-do immigrants from New Tixryn and Zimbelaine. Darxu Hev is also the part of all Tixryn that has the most to do with other lands; here are the docks set aside for ships from foreign parts, here the great customs house, and here those Thudun and Argandarr that dwell in Ag-Darxes are chiefly to be found, with their strange foods and temples.
