The Tower of Akshak in Seonaid is said to be the Seeker class' equivalent to the Towers of Mastery.
What is true though is that for the Seekers this tower is more that just an area of learning, but it is their 'base of operations', where they can find all that they need for whatever job they are doing.
Getting into the Tower of Akshak uninvited is practically unheard of, and many a thief has died trying.

 Compendium of World History - Vol. 1
Under Akshak's king Puzur-Sahan aging Queen Ku-Baba of Kish III gained unusual reputation for her "pious deeds." As a result her son Puzur-Sin came to royal estate upon the death of Puzur-Sahan in 1680.
Though Akshak lost power in 1649 the last king, Gimil-Sin (1656-1649), is assigned in the Susa List a total reign of 24 years (1656-1632) to the reign of Sargon of Akkad.
Since Dynasty III of Kish is at times listed first and on occasion later than the Dynasty of Akshak, it must have begun at the same time as Akshak.

Città dotate di centri monumentali, dominate dal tempio della divinità poliade e cinte da lunghe mura turrite divennero rapidamente luoghi di eccezionale attrazione e concentrazione demografica.
Attorno a quegli anni decine di centri urbani si svilupparono nella regione alluvionale oggi compresa tra Baghdad a nord e Bassora a sud, da Kish a Akshak, da Sippar a Nippur, da Lagash a Umma, da Ur a Adab.
I tesori di questa epica esplorazione, provenienti soprattutto dal famoso ‘cimitero reale’ degli anni successivi alla metà del XXV secolo a.C., costituiscono oggi una delle ricchezze maggiori dei musei di Londra, di Philadelphia e di Baghdad.

 The world of Ezra (for D&D)
The seekers are based in the Tower of Akshak, and from this power-base they like to be involved as much as possible in the politics of the region, and indeed the continent.
The seekers involvement though, is more like the involvement of the political assassin - like a spy who acts on the information he or she receives, to further whatever cause The Tower of Akshak (or the client of the seeker) is involved in.
Seekers like to remain anonymous, to blend in, to watch from the sidelines, and quietly and efficiently get the job done.

Eannatum boasted of killing 3,600 men of Umma and had to bury twenty heaps of his own men.
Later Eannatum had to fight a coalition of forces from Kish and Mari led by the King of Akshak; though he claimed victory, his little empire was declining.
Umma once again seized the disputed canal, destroyed the stele of the vultures, and defeated Eannatum.

 Mesopotamia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
To classical peoples, the Babylonians were considered a witty, urbane, mysterious, occult, and very decadent folk; a realistic appraisal in some ways since, by their own standards, the Babylonians had seen everything that could happen to a nation and a people, and could no longer be much surprised.
Presently this covers Adab, Adiabene, Akkad, Akshak, Araba, Arrapha, Assyria, Babylon, Basra, Characene, Comukha, Dayani, Elam, Eshnunna, Garamaea, Guti, Hatra, Isin, Kirkuk, Kish, Kurdistan, Kuwait, Lagash, Larsa, Classical, Mediaeval, and modern Mesopotamia and Iraq, Mitanni, Mosul, Sea-Land, Seleucid Empire, Takrit, Umma, Ur, Urakluiras, Uruk.

In fact though, Uruk, while still the largest city, is thought to have declined in population (Eannatum of Lagash claims to have conquered Uruk ca.- 2450) and is taken to approximate the size of Umma or Lagash.
The larger potential allows ten cities to exceed 10,000, but it also means that a number of cities customarily listed for the Early Dynastic period, such as Eridu, Bad-tibira, Sippar or Akshak (see Appendix 1), do not make our list.

Outside Sumer, we add some others for newer cities: Ebla, in Northern Syria, (whose population about ­2450 is estimated by Pettinato (1981:131) to have been "40,000 at most") and Mari, a commercial and competitor of Ebla in Northern Mesopotamia, that must have been comparable in size.
