Makren is an enclave of Longbridge 4 pillars tern of The Middle. It is known as a hub of commerce and nightlife.

Makren was founded by the wealthy lineage of the same name. This conveys upon it’s residents the unusual property that their residential name is also a lineage name, giving residents of Makren the name Makreland, which makes it sound like all residents are members of the founder’s lineage.

The Citizen’s Union of Makren, and therefore the enclave itself, is almost entirely controlled by the Makren lineage. This seems to work well enough; despite the relative lack of democratic input from citizens, the Makren lineage is relatively well liked and respected, doing an apparently satisfactory job of administering the enclave, and provides popular public services and works such as the later tree.
