Ambaqwe is the capital and most populous city of the Tierradorian region of Auqali and the Province of Chauakee. It is the seat of Hartwell Parish, along with many portions of the city extending into neighboring Rosslyn and Fort Parishes. With a population of 6.1 million living within the metropolitan area of the city, Ambaqwe is the fourth most populous city in the Tierradorian Woqalate as of the 2030 census. Ambaqwe is situated among the foothills of the Wečas Mountains at an elevation of just over 300 meters above sea level. The city features unique topography that includes rolling hills, lush greenery, and the densest urban tree coverage of any major city in Tierrador.

Ambaqwe was originally founded in 877 AD by Qabóri settlers looking to open a small trade hub in the southern provinces of the Woqalate. For most of its history, Ambaqwe primarily served as a small fishing and agricultural hub, though only being known within the region where it was located. During the Orixtal Crusade, the city served a strategically important role for the Woqalate until it was captured by Varshani Warriors in 1651. The city was entirely burned to the ground due to scattered Varshani raids in 1654. Even after Qabór managed to quickly take the city back, they determined that the damage had already been done, and abandoned the city until 1844, when Hectór Cruz, at the time the Governor of the Auqali & Sonaxa, refounded the city as a terminus for major rail transportation routes throughout Auqali. This, along with the discovery of vast pockets of copper and iron ore throughout the surrounding areas, spurred rapid growth. Twenty years later, in 1864, Ambaqwe was officially incorporated as the City of Ambaqwe.
