Frazholn

Brief History
Frazholn is one of the "new" cities to emerge on Cybertron after the end of the Great War, and perhaps one of the most distinct visually. Inhabited mostly by Insectoid pseudo-beasts and Insecticons of various models, Frazholn lies completely below the surface of Cybertron, and is described most often as a "subway network merged with an ant colony," its colorful neon glows giving it a unique aesthetic not found anywhere else.

Culture
Pseudo-beasts and Predacons do face prejudice or outright persecution for their differences, so Frazholn has one of the few truly isolationist policies in its city doctrine. They do not even have a representative on the High Council despite the population warranting it. The only outsiders allowed within the city are cultural investigators, and only after vetting has proved they can be trusted. What those excursions have revealed is that Frazholn and its people operate much like an Insecticon hive: as a whole, and yet there is no psychic binding. They cooperate willingly. They have also developed a hierarchy of roles. This is why some older investigators are uncomfortable in Frazholn: the hierarchy is all too reminiscent of the caste-system that triggered the War. But the key difference is that there is no hierarchy of rank. All roles in the colony are deemed of equal value to keep the city running smoothly. A city official has equal value to a merchant, and a merchant has equal value to a maintenance worker or crystal gardener.
