Hallgerd

Hallgerd is the second largest city on Emaul and the manufacturing and tourist hub of the Dravenforth Empire, located on the southeastern corner of the continent. The city's population is made up of a large population of dwarves and gnomes, though humans and half-elves are both common.    It was a later induction to the Empire, conquered after a 3 week long seige following the conclusion of the War of Orcish Agression to the north. The defensive capabilities of the city are very strong, and with the invention and heavy use of large gunpowder weapons such as canons and mortars active assault on the city proved extremely dangerous. However, Hallgerd is heavily reliant on trade, as suitable farmland is scarce in the dry soil. With very little in terms of a navy and their own militia unable to break through the blockade for supplies, surrender eventually came with relatively low casualties. In the years following Hallgerd found fortune in both their manufacturing capabilities within the empire and the tourism guarded roads and safe travel afforded travelers to their city, and hard feelings towards the empire over the seige and capture quickly disappeared.   Hallgerd is one of the few places that have successfully weaponized black powder, though handheld firearms are still very rare outside of specialized units in the Iron-Faced Army -- IFA. Their industry also includes stone-working, lumber processing and refinery of steel and minerals.
