Colmarais

The capital of the Kingdom of Chauletre.

Government

A Mayor is elected from the wealthy and influential and by the wealthy and influential. Elections happen every 5 years. The King of Chauletre rules over his property in the city and directly controls the mayor and other 2 castles in the city. The other 2 Barons within rule over 2 of the 4 districts in the city, using their castle palaces as their homes. The mayor has more power than the the Barons but the Barons report to the King rather than to the mayor. There are other smaller influential groups within in the city, such as merchant guilds, and other trade guilds. There also resides a Templar castle within the city.

Defences

A thick outer wall stops enemies from walking into the city. There are 4 castles within the city, the King's, the two barons, and the Templars. There is also several smaller bastions within the city. Towers adorn the city walls, rising high to the sky, ready to rain hell upon those who attempt to besiege the city.

Industry & Trade

Colmarais is currently a hub of science and scholarly activities. A large influx of higher class philosophers, astronomers, and other men of science has created large amounts of revenue for the city. Colmerais is a decent trading city with merchants coming from around the region. It has the Silnie River flowing through it providing some trade. Colmerais is known for it's glass foundries in the southern part of the city.

Infrastructure

There exists 3 bridges across the Silnie River. One was very recently built and can be described as a piece of art. The city features streets made of stone blocks, and buildings of stone, and wood. There is no slums in the city due to a large project undergone by the previous King to move the poor peasants out of the city and into villages surrounding the city. He then destroyed the slums and paved the way for further development in the city.

Guilds and Factions

In recent years because of Charles Sangliel's ambitions many scientific guilds have set up branches and even been founded with in Colmarais. Several competing merchant's guilds reside within the walls of Colmarais. A chapter of the Knights Templar are housed inside the city, acting mostly as an extension of the Papacy's agenda.
