'''Askendom''' (properly Askendom Special Consolidated City, Mahhalian ''Askendom Mohhoak''), [[Eman (Prefecture)|Eman Prefecture]], [[Oa (Kingdom)|Oa Kingdom]], is the second most populous proper city in [[Mahhal]], located on the northwest corner of the island of [[Pillam (Island)|Pillam]], on the east side of an ocean inlet called [[Loas Juria]]. Despite being a major city, it is quite young by Mahhalian standards, and therefore it has no administrative role, being neither the capital of its kingdom nor of its prefecture. The land area for the [[Askendom (Municipality)|Askendom Municipality]] (Mahhalian ''Askendomdemet'') is approximately 245 sq km, and has a population of 2,104,000 (2014 est.). The "special consolidated city" (Mahhalian ''Mohhoak''), is only slightly larger, with some bits of land annexed from neighboring municipalities, thus having an area of 256 sq km and a population of 2110000 (2014 est.). Including the surrounding metropolitan area, which includes the municipalities of [[Poara (Municipality)|Poara]], [[Eman (Municipality)|Eman]], [[Bylla Byllu (Municipality)|Bylla Byllu]], [[Lwlada (Municipality)|Lwlada]] and [[Mumidakipor (Municipality)|Mumidakipor]], Askendom forms the heart of an urban region with a population of over 3,000,000.
'''Derindonderak''' (properly Derindonder Special Consolidated City, Mahhalian ''Derindonder-mohhoak''), [[Par Dinsi, Mahhal|Par Dinsi Prefecture]], [[Rakka]] Kingdom, is the most populous city and center of the most populated metropolitan area in [[Mahhal]], and is located on the southeast corner of the [[Jessitim Sea]] on the west coast of the island of [[Wrid (Island)|Wrid]] (the second largest island of the [[Mahhalian Archipelago]]). The city straddles both sides of the long estuary of the [[Par Dinsi (River)|Par Dinsi]] (an important river).


The excellent old port, like most north-coast Mahhalian ports, is ice-free, and the sheltered bay is the result of a medieval engineering project that constructed a 700 meter causeway to an offshore island, thus creaing a breakwater and secure bay.

Askendom flourished and grew to its present size primarily because of a decision made in 1881 to open the port (along with a few others) to foreign trade, about fifty years before the more general opening of most other Mahhalian ports. This was done partly because the king of Oa was feeling left behind in the development of the rest of archipelago, and also partly to better capitalize on the nearby deposits of copper and iron, which exceeded the national demand for metal ores at that time.

Derindonderak is no longer the largest and most important city in Mahhal. It may be a fairly small town. I'll work on this later, meanwhile it has been moved to the "unmapped" category. If you link to Derindonderak in the wiki or with e.g. airline routes, you will need to reconsider. I'm sorry for the inconvenience - the change is being done as part of the effort to improve the climate verisimilitude for Mahhal.

Derindonderak (properly Derindonder Special Consolidated City, Mahhalian Derindonder-mohhoak), Par Dinsi Prefecture, Rakka Kingdom, is the most populous city and center of the most populated metropolitan area in Mahhal, and is located on the southeast corner of the Jessitim Sea on the west coast of the island of Wrid (the second largest island of the Mahhalian Archipelago). The city straddles both sides of the long estuary of the Par Dinsi (an important river).
