Emon

Emon is the capital of Tal'Dorei, and was also the home of the emperor, Sovereign Uriel Tal'Dorei III. The city proper is surrounded by a thick wall, although Gilmore mentioned to Vax'ildan that there were rumors of expanding the city in "Shopping and Shipping"

Defences

Enlisted:

    Recruit - They're recruits, junior to even the most junior personnel. This is a rank almost always only seen during the indoctrination period.   Legionnaire - This is your standard foot-soldier. I'd say it'd be equivalent to an E-3 or an E-4 in the US forces. They're going to be doing most of the grunt work for day-to-day operations.   Firecaller - These guys are squad leaders and corporal equivalents. They're trusted to be a bit more responsible and capable with small leadership tasks (4-6 people under them)   Blazemaker - These guys would be leading Firecallers, but still doing some grunt work that requires a bit more technical finesse (like repairing a airship gas-thruster). There would be anywhere between 10 to 20 people under them.   Ashseeker - This is where the official "staff" level begins. They are typically the leader on the field and trusted by both enlisted and officers alike. They'll be leading anywhere between 40 and 80 people and regularly talking to the officers.   Ashbringers - This rank is, practically, very similar to Ashseeker. These men will be the senior enlisted and closely overseeing the day-to-day operations of their subordinate enlisted, but they'll also closely be working with the officers. Typically, an Ashbringer is only assigned to a relatively large enlisted grouping (~100-200 people)  

CO:

  Aspirants - The most junior of officers, around 22-24 years old. These guys aren't really expected to know what's going on, but they are expected to be diligently learning the ins and outs of Legion operations and be working with their commanding Centurion to get up to speed.   Centurion - This is equivalent to the O3-O4 level in the US Military. These are your typical day-to-day officers. They'll be commanding at least 50 people at any given time, and can are regularly put in charge of 100 or so enlistedmen.   Captain - Commanding officers, not much else to say here.   Generals - They oversee the commanding officers in their sub-regions   Marshal - They oversee the generals of the entire region

Architecture

The city is split into twelve districts, with a few districts that reside outside the city walls: [1] This district is located on the east side of the city, with a very small portion of it extending beyond the city walls. A small wall also branches from the main wall and runs along the district's south side, separating it from the Temple District. The Promenade is the largest district within Emon, and was home to many businessmen and traders. Gilmore's Glorious Goods is located within this district, and Greyskull Keep is located just outside the outer wall, a little ways away. Cloudtop District: [2] Shown to be within the center of the city, this district was surrounded by another wall due to the sovereign's palace being here. It was also where the Tal'Dorei Council convenes to discuss various issues within Emon and all of Tal'Dorei. The Ivory Tower was also located here. Cloudtop was home to the rich, the noble, and anybody with influence, including the Citrine Garrison, of which General Krieg was a member.   [3]Central District: Located on the southwest side of the city next to the Cloudtop District. It appeared that a smaller wall cuts through the district. Temple District: Found on the southeastern side of the city, this area probably acts as a religious center and was probably where the temple that was used to revive Pike was found. Since the Tal'Dorei Council had a Paladin of Bahamut as one of its members, it is possible that the dominant religion in the city was to Bahamut.[presumed] A smaller wall branches from the main wall and borders the northeastern side of the district separating it from the Abdar's Promenade. Erudite Quarter: Located on the northwest side of the city, it appears to have a small wall that branches off and reconnects to the main wall that surrounds the entire district. Because this was where the Alabaster Lyceum was located, it was likely that this section of the city specialized in the arcane arts.[presumed] Military District: Found on the north side of the city, this section includes a well-guarded prison (that was emptied of its most dangerous denizens after the attack of Thordak) as well as barracks and training grounds. Both the various military regiments and the Arms of Emon were usually trained here, though the regimental soldiers are usually stationed primarily at Fort Daxio. The Arms of Emon, however, are more of a force of gendarmes that is permanently stationed in the capital, serving as both a local garrison to guard its walls and as a sort of local police force. Arms Regiment Crossbow Concept, The Arms of Emon (fanart concept)   Upper Slums: One of the few districts outside the city walls, it is to the northwest. Lower Slums: Another district outside the city walls, it is located to the south. Port of Emon: As the name implies, this appears to be the only port located within Emon. It is toward the southwest part of the city, with a small wall running down its southern side. Graveyard District: Found to the west of Emon. Because of the name, this area of the city probably has many catacombs and deals with the dead.[presumed] The Diamond Nest Tavern is in this district. Shoreline Farms: Located outside the city, the shoreline farms are the only district besides the Port district to border water. It is located towards the west/northwest. This section of the city likely provides the majority of the produce that was consumed by the regular population.[presumed] Skyport: This district was located to the northwest right next to the Cloudtop District. This was where the city's Skyships docked. A network of tunnels exists under the city. The Clasp, a thieves' guild, has a subterranean base beneath the city. They use the tunnels to covertly get around, and know of several hidden entrances up to the surface.
