Snehvrchol

Overview
Snehvrchol is a little known medium sized town located on a tall mountain in the northern snowy regions of Anima. Originally the home of small number of settlers from Mantle, it quickly grew with the inmigration of people from both Atlas and Mistral during the Great War. Snehvrchol is currently under the control and protection of the Avagyan mafia.

Goverment
Snehvrchol has democratic goverment, but it has always been intrincately involved with the local mafia, and in a way has always shared it's fucntions with it, while the formal goverment takes care of all legal business the Avagians handle any necessary illicit activities, while most would find this detrimental to the town it actually functions with amazing efficacy. Snehvrchol is nearly devoid of local crime thanks to the protection provided by the Avagyans, and supplies are rarely scarce since anything that can't be gotten by legal means is obtained illegaly. the Avagyan family also provides the bulk of the town's protection against grimm and functions as the local "police", if far more ruthless than most police departments. 10 years before the Battle of Beacon Carmine Avagyan, Boss of the Avagian family, was elected mayor-for-life in fair elections, fully (though unofficialy) merging the goverment with the mafia.
