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?

Origin and History

The Capital was founded by King Jon I. He established a small wooden fort atop the hill where his army first encamped, and used this as a base for his campaign to conquer the region. Having achieved his goal, he established the new castle on the site of his original fort. The city expanded rapidly under his descendants. By the time of the Black Army, the city had a population of approximately a hundred-thousand people.
