City of Griza
The City of Griza is the capital of Griza. Located in northeastern Jideran, within the Grizan forest, the city has a cold, wet climate, experiencing heavy snowfall nearly year-round. As a result, the city heavily relies on food imports to survive.
Most of the city was constructed during the early days of the Jiderani Empire, to support the mines, quarries, and logging operations. As such, the City of Griza has a distinct architectural style, reminiscent of many of the neighborhoods of Sorfait, with modifications to better withstand the cold environment. This can be most clearly seen in the Jiderani district of the city, still surrounded by the old imperial walls, which have been maintained as a cultural site.
The city is divided into four major districts: the Jiderani District, the oldest part of the city, created by the Jiderani Empire; the New City, created by the last emperor of Griza, as part of a project to industrialize and modernize the nation; the Palace District, home to the administrative offices of Griza and the Black Fort, the headquarters of the Grizan military; and finally, the Quarantined District, home to the vast majority of the Liasnyk population of the city, a glorified concentration camp.
Infrastructure
The largest structure in the city is the Black Fort, home to the strategic command of the Grizan military and the final fall-back point in the circumstance of an attack on the city. The Black Fort was built by the Jiderani Empire and renovated by the father of the current emperor, reinforced with steel plating and heavy guns.
Beneath the city lies a catacomb of abandoned mines and tombs, said to be inhabited by the worst sorts of creatures.
