Cirith Acré

Called by many the "City of Righteousness" the majestic Cirith Acré sits of the eastern coast of Vardell and is the major trade and military port for the Osmidian Sea. The city-state is home to the citadels of many of the most powerful paladin orders and is one of the most heavily fortified locations in the world. In addition to being the seat of power for these orders, Cirth Acré is also home to many heroic and aspiring companies of adventurers seeking justice and glory.
The Citadels Each of the paladinic organizations in the city has their own citadel, complete with a temple, house of healing, barracks, armory, and stable. In addition to the heavily defended outer walls, these fortifications within fortifications make Cirith Acré one of the most difficult locations to conquer, as an invading force would have to not only breach the outer walls but also take close to two dozen keeps within the city. Each citadel adds its own unique and splendid contribution to the magnificent skyline of the city.
The Council of Fifteen The city is governed by a council made up of the heads of each of the major paladinic organinzations that are based there. Laws and decrees governing the city-state are passed with a simply majority vote, while any decisions for the whole combined force of the armies to march together must pass with a resolution of at least nine of the council members.

Economy The majority of the city's wealth comes from the taxes levied on trade imports and from military contracts or reparations in the conflicts where the paladin orders are called into action. The arid coastal climate is excellent for vineyards, and so Cirth Acré is also a moderately strong force in the wine industry as well.
