'''Fávekká''' ([[Faljüdax]]: ({{Audio|Favekka.ogg|/ˈfa:vɛk:a:/}} is the second largest city of the Fals Empire, and capital of [[Tiir Colony]], with 883 thousand inhabitants. First settled 600 years ago, it quickly expanded as a major harbour around lake Tiir, attracting even more Fáknir colonies. Even today, the city's largest ethnicity is Fáknir, with 98 percent of its population. It has grown to become the second city by population in the Empire and is nowadays considered its western capital.
