Emberdenn

The Capital of Kalthinjar, Emberdenn lies on an island in the center of the Lake of Garnan.  Founded by Garnan the intrepid, it spent most of its history as a inland port and fishing village. It wasn't until Aludrym burned down the previous capitol, which now rests underneath Nul'vanne, that Emberdenn's role changed. Being far more central, it made for the perfect place for a centralized government, which is known as the Ember Court. The city itself is run by the provincial judge Xilonen, whose family has been running the city since the making of Emberden.

Government

The city has 354 noble houses. The peace is kept by 307 guardsmen, and there are 97 advocates to assist with legal matters. For those more concerned about their soul, there are 3786 clergymen and 153 priests.  
Due to the Provincial Judge's familial ties, it seems that gaining entrance to other parts of the town beyond those of common folk is incredibly hard unless the person has connections or is willing ot pay their respects.

The guards of Emberdenn are professionally trained and are a part of the nation's active military. Whether they are incredibly strict or lackadaisical with regards to law enforcement, they take threats from outside of the town, especially foreign powers, extremely seriously.

Defences

The City of Emberdenn is completely surrounded by a limestone wall, as well as a lake. Not only this, the bridges that connects it to the mainland also have guard towers on either side.

Infrastructure

The City of Emberdenn is built on top of Garnan's island, in the center of Garnan Lake. It is connected to the mainland by a heavily guarded bridge. The city itself is a hub for commerce, having plenteous markets and warehouses. It is also the center for government.

Districts

Emberdenn is split up into 4 main districts: market, residential, governmental, and educational. The market district, known as the Prismatic Bazaar, is where most markets sell goods from all over the Kalth and other nations can be found. These goods include rare gems such as opals, rare spices, exotic goods (like durian), fancy items and tools, and other goods. The Residential district, known collectively as the Dens, are home to the majority of the populace of Emberdenn. It is split into an Upper, Middle, and Lower district, each with their own level of prominence, each with their own commercial zones as well, whether that is dining, groceries, clothing, etc. The Governmental District of Emberdenn, known as the Embers of the Kalth, is home to the Ember Court, where the Judges that preside over the entirety of the Kalth convene. This district is a hotbed of political contention. The last district, the University of Flames, is the site where all education that happens in and around Emberdenn happens. The university is split into five distinct colleges that study the following: combat, business, magic, science, and art (this includes music).

Points of interest

1. Lower Dens - Greenhouse of Necuametli: A bizarre greenhouse full of exotic plants from all over Eveynjar. It brings in crowds that gawk at the strange and unusual curiosities. It additionally sells any fruit or vegetables that such plants may grow.
2. Upper Dens - Resting Place of Garnan the Intrepid: A stone marker said to be the final resting place of the famous Kalthic explorer. The marker is too eroded to tell any more, but it still may hold archeological significance.
3. Embers of the Kalth - Ember Court: When not in session, the Ember Court is used as a historical museum that holds countless political and historical artifacts from before the Ember Court's creation. While in session, very few are let in to observe.
4. Military Ward - Haunted Barracks: A long abandon barracks said to have been burned down by a madman. Only the most foolish enter, and most that are foolish enough get arrested for trespassing.
5. Prismatic Bazaar - the Bazaar Itself: Stretching along a singular road from the north end of Emberdenn to its southern exit, the Prismatic Bazaar is full of curiosities. Almost anything can be found along the massive market, and it is easily the busiest part of the city.
6. Garnanlight Bridge - Weeping Statue of Saint Gaius: Along the bridge is a pilgrimage sight for most Wood Elves to see that statue of Saint Gaius, facing towards Nul'vanne. During the dry season, it is said to weep tears of salt-water, especially on particularly dusty or smoky days.
7. Midden Dens - Ixcaton Theater: An ampitheatre that draws in many for various pagents and plays, some of which are based off of various points of Kalthic history or legends.
8. University of Flames - Scorched Stone: This large stone was salvaged from the wreckage of the previous capital and is considered the foundation stone of Kalthinjar, though no archeological data backs it up.
9. Nul'vanne Bridge - Shrine of the Greedy Wyrm: A shrine once dedicated to the Destructive Dragon of Greed, Lythronax the Gore Bather. Some say they still hear chanting around this insidious altar.

Architecture

Most of the buildings within Emberdenn are made of stone with slate roofing that can be thatched during the dry season to cool down the roofing. The docks are build primarily out of various hardwoods from the surrounding jungle and use balsa wood as flotation devices.

Climate

Like most of the Kalth, Emberdenn experiences a wet and dry season. As such, many of its buildings are designed to be above the dry season water level, and its docks naturally float upwards during such seasons.
