Felsen

Felsen is the capitol city of the Holy Orenian Empire, located in the Crownlands. It is at the very heart of the Human culture, being a city full of diverse culture, unique market places, and the home of the Imperial House of Horen.

History

Felsen was built after the arrival of Humans to Vailor. Growing from a small village, this now bustling center of trade and commerce for the Empire of Oren as grown in fame and renown. It is highly regarded for it's array of different amenities to choose from to fill your visit, like the Felsen City Library or the beautiful shipyard ready to whisk away any lucky traveler.

In 1556, a expansion of the ever-famous city market was called for, along with the old palace of Ancelcourt being turned into a monument to the Horen Dynasty.

Construction/Discovery

Not much is known of the discovery of Felsen, though a "Monument of Founding" can be found just outside the city's gates. The buildings of Felsen are mainly done in brick, stone, and colored woods and clay, to add to the vibrant feel of it's lively nature and the citizens who liven said nature.

The city has 3 districts: Copper Court, Steel Lane, and the Gold District. Copper Court, the poorer area of the city and where most peasantry and low-pay workers can be found. Many thieves live in this area, so most would recommend you steer clear of this area. Steel Lane, where the middle class resides in relative comfort. Many here often work at the Palace, own a shop in the city, or are members of the Felsen Watch. And finally The Gold District, the wealthiest area of the city and where most burghers live. Though no shops are in this area, it is the cleanest of the three, and also hold Saint Daniel's Church.

Behind the city square, with gates shut tight, lies the Imperial Palace of House Horen and the Empire. Known to all as Ancelcourt, this grand abode is home to the Imperial Family and it's court. Many public hearings, trials, and appointments are held here, and the throne room is always bustling with life and, if you're ambitious, intrigue as well. The gardens of the Palace are it's crowning jewel, filled with lush plants and flowers to suit every taste. If allowed inside, the Palace rooms are grand as well, the Dining Hall and the Emperor's chambers being the greatest rooms of note.

Located right next to Copper Court is the docks and shipyard of Felsen, erupting with ships and small boats to take you to lands far and unheard of. Trade is often conducted here, but like in the Copper District, beware of the potential false sailor or thief.

Location Events

Besides a few raids here and there, not many events have occurred in Felsen. In 1556, a great force was brought to the city by Ser Thomas Ruric, leader of the Nortruppen. This army intended to incite violence, but were subdued along with their leader. However, Thomas Ruric was later freed by the Flays of Fenland, and now a war brews in the Empire once more.
