Adelburg is the current Capital of the Holy Orenian Empire, replacing Johannesburg. It was built to replace the old capital of Auguston, located in the swamp lands of Mardon. It can be speculated that it was constructed by Peter II, to come closer to the older more prominent ruined capital of Johannesburg. The city is the main settlement of the Empire and mostly inhabited by Humans, though many other races have settled there, most prominently Elves.

History
Adelburg was constructed on the orders of Peter II, the second Emperor of the sixth Empire. It was completed in 1622 and saw its grand opening on the 15th of the Deep Cold. It's construction came a few years after the reformation of the Holy Orenian Empire. The completion of the city signified the official rebirth of the Imperial state, attracting many who had once spread across the human lands back to a central hub for the Empire.
