Mondeval

The Imperial City of Mondeval, also known as the Constant. It's the seat of power of the Empire.

Demographics

The city sees a wide variety of denizens, with Humans as the majority. The second largest population group is Elves followed closely by Orlan, Kaessar and an uncommon appearance of Arokh. Although rare, it's possible for other races to attain positions of importance while human nobility occupies the governmental positions and rule.   The varied residents often form their communities within the grand city, resulting in Arokh and Orlan slums while an abundant population of Elves and pockets of Kaessar enjoy a middle-class existence.

Government

Mondeval is where the entirety of the Empire is governed. The government consists out of individual leaders selected from eligible noble families from which the various ministers (Comte) are elected with the Archcomte the executive leader of the Empire, answering only to the Empress of the Sun.   Once elected, every four years, the Comtenaunt serve the Empress by observing the different provinces and lands that are a part of the Empire. They pass legislation, set taxes and maintain the military to guarantee the prosperity of Mondeval. Sometimes they receive direct orders from the Empress, but often they persuade her.   The current composition of the Comtenaunt:  
  • Archcomte - Bevran Juillisant, du Blanc Leonne (or White Lion). He's the military commander and the Empress' right hand. He's also the head of the Church of His Radiance as
  •  
  • Comte of Intelligence and Foreign Policy - Almot Du Parson. He safeguards diplomatic relations with other nations both in an overt manner and covertly.
  •  
  • Comte of Justice and Security - Jucidia, the Dawn, Gavranth. She's responsible for the safety of the citizens and is head of the City Watch.
  •  
  • Comte of the Treasury - Zandeaux Lyonne. He maintains the Imperial treasury and manages both the credit and debit of the Empire.
  •  
  • Comte of Education - Fleur Du Pomme. She oversees the curriculums of University faculties to guarantee they follow the new doctrines.  
  • Comte of Internal Affairs - Jacques, The Mage Friend, Belmont. He maintains the relationships with the various ducs from Imperial territories to gauge public happiness or civil unrest. Jacques composed the legislation that allowed for Mages to practice their Arts again within the city. The guidelines of which are now also employed by the Myrrdin Court of Archmages to provide guidance and stability to Mages as they develop their abilities.

Defences

The city is guarded by a defensive outer ring that forces invading combatants through multiple bottlenecks. Atop the walls is ample room for archers to position themselves behind parapets to loose arrows upon the enemy forces on the outside, but also those traversing through the outer ring.   Multiple iron-banded gates fortify the inner city, segmenting the areas for easy fortification and forcing enemy combatants to fight for every inch of advancement.

Industry & Trade

Due to the size of the Empire, its coffers are dominantly filled by the taxation of its territories. Although there are nearby farmsteads and irrigated lands, the produced food is largely used to maintain the large population of the city. Their access to iron in the nearby mountains allows their military to be well-armed and equipped.   ((Will detail main export and imports))
