Adelburg is the current Capital of the Holy Orenian Empire, replacing 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 completed in 1622 and saw its grand opening on the 15th of the Deep Cold. It's construction came 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.

Geography

Adelburg sits just north of the docks of Tahn and can even be seen from the ships on a clear day. Its location is prime for economic activities due Adelburg's proximity to the docks in addition to the centralized nature of the city on the large island of Tahn.

Notable Localities within Adelburg include:

  • The City Markets, found within a few steps of the gates
  • The Imperial Palace, home of the Holy Orenian Emperor
  • The Central Plaza

Military

The Adelburg Constabulary acts as the lawkeeping organization of the capital and the surrounding farmlands. Established along with the founding of the city, the group prides itself on preventing crime in the streets with a nonviolent approach if possible. The Constabulary is closely tied to the Imperial Government with the Lord Constable being selected by the Emperor himself.

Members of the Constabulary receive 75 minas every Saint's Week as reparations for their service. Additional income is earned by receiving awards for notable actions in the line of duty. A Constabulary Footman can be recognized by the purple and black color scheme of their uniform and chestplate markings. Officers don a lackluster but easily recognizable dress uniform with additional pieces to indicate accolades and rank.
