Lisburn
The capital city of Armaviria, Lisburn is the heart of the kingdom in nearly every way. Nearly anything can be acquired here for a price. Merchant and mercenary companies are plentiful, as are cultural establishments such as theaters. Lisburn is home to a number of prominent noble families; the latest of several queens, Segwen herself is rumored to have a handful of houses and palace-like mansions scattered throughout the city and surrounding countryside. Members of the Armavirian peerage historically have maintained active roles in the city, with the current trend being lavish artistic patronage.

Guilds and Factions
While several guilds have a token presence in Lisburn, only one has a significant role in capital politics: the Guild of Mercenary and Adventuring Companies, more commonly known as the Adventurers' Guild - a name that greatly annoys the mercenary companies.
Points of interest
Akonadi's Spire
Said to be fashioned from a mighty spear (or lance, depending on the tale) used by the goddess Akonadi to defeat a foul demon lord, the Spire forms an eye-catching central point in the Temple Plaza.
