Carolustadt (High Imperial: Caroli Civitas, Raev: Karlgrad, Hansetian: Karl Ciutad, Illatian: Città di Carlo, Nevarian: Karlstad), a past Capital of the Empire of Man served as the Cosmopolitan hub from which the Empire exerted its influence upon the rest of Atlas.

History
Construction
In the year of 1675, then King Aurelius decreed that a new city be built which would house the capital of the Crown of Renatus-Marna, replacing the Kingdom's former city of Senntisten. It was a long, and arduous process that consumed much of the nation's manpower. Much of the forests in the area were cleared, and the new city was raised where the trees had stood. Large amounts of stone were excavated from the mountains of Dragon's Spine, and carted down towards the build area. The construction of the city was said to have boosted the economy greatly, employing many Renatian men and women alike.
