Tropes: Shining City
The Capital is the capital (!) of the Kingdom of Generica. It is located a bit to the west of the center of the kingdom, in the province of Brightcastle, on the eastern edge of King's Lake. Castle Royal rests atop a hill at the northernmost point, overlooking the rest of the walled city. It enjoys a mild climate and life there is luxurious for those that can afford it, although it is not without its slums. The city is overpopulated and can be a little dangerous in spots, even in the best of times, despite being policed by a City Watch.
- King=Mayor; council?
