The Town of Nexus

The Town of Nexus is a large town constructed of stone, brick, and claw. Situated in the Lunar Wastelands and founded by the very first arrivals into the realm, lead by Gradius Whitesoul. It resides in the most energy neutral location so far found in the Nexus realm, providing the safest location for people who have not yet changed to hide away and bide their time, and for those who have changed to live in relative safety.

Population
The population of Nexus is rather small, at most a few dozen individuals live within it's borders, keeping mostly to themselves. The races that live within the town are as varied as the lands themselves, making Nexus a melting pot and learning hub for those recently suffering from a forced alignment. The largest numbers seem to be made of humans, various anthropomorphic races, and animals, with a spattering of the unusual here and there.

Places of Interest
The town is still small, though always growing, adding new trade shops and places as it increases in population and skilled residents.

Convergence Tavern
By far the most popular location in the town is the Tavern of Convergence, owned and operated by Gradius Whitesoul, where many residents go to drown their sorrows in food, drink, and music. The tavern is staffed with a baby platinum dragon called Kite, who works as a waiter, and the toon jackal Jeriko, who works as bartender, cook, and bouncer.

The music and entertainment come from various magical constructs creator by Gradius to help ease the stresses of living in the nexus, mostly in the form of animated instruments that play older tunes and magical lights.

The food and drink is highly varied and one can get most anything their hearts desire, although the resources are starting to dwindle down and Gradius cannot continually provide food for the entire town forever.

The few people who have volunteered to scout the world around are given free room and board within the tavern, using magically sealed rooms to keep out the noise and ensure privacy.

The Trade District
The trade district is a series of streets with sidewalks and awnings provided for the trade workers in town to peddle their wares and services. Seeing as the Nexus lacks money of any sort the most common form of trade is through exchange of services and goods. So far the market has a tool smith, a weapon trader, a food vendor, a basic goods shop, and a curious tall filled with glowing, seemingly high tech objects.
