Lumeria

The aquatic capital of the Lemouille.

Demographics

Lumeria marks the origin of the Lemouille's way of life with most of its people believing to have their ancestral roots tied to the great lake in which the glorious city lies. Being amphibious, the Lemouillites have long structured their homes both above and below the water. Since the aquatic people require a great deal of moisture in order to thrive, their homes are primarily built beneath the surface of the lake. However, realizing that none of the other denizens of Terra are capable of surviving under water, the Lemouillites quickly remodeled their home with a level above the lake's surface to accommodate the less aquatic species of the world.

Government

The city of Lumeria is governed by the Emperor of the Lemouillites, the imperial family as well as the High court. As the city of Mizunia operates nearly identically to Lumeria, each court is followed by the name of their respective city to help tell them apart.

Defences

Lumeria is positioned within a gorge immediately beneath a massive waterfall named the Everflow. The tall cliffs of the plateau beyond serves as natural protection from the East. As for defenses built by the people of Lumeria, the city is home to a force of soldiers known as the people's guard of Lumeria. They are tasked with protecting order and the welfare of the citizens of Lumeria. Additionally, the city has raised an immense wall founded a the bottom of the Great lake Gracelyn and rising past the water's surface an additional two metres. The ramparts of this wall are under the watchful eyes of the people's guard as well.

Infrastructure

The Lemouille people, along with the Humans, are some of the only people on Terra which adore the usage of gemstones as currency. To this end, the Lemouillites are fond of pursuing specific careers to obtain gemstones in exchange for services and goods. Furthermore, the people of Lumeria are big fans of trading among the many Human settlements as well as Mizunia and anyone else willing to take a look at what they've got. The city's biggest asset is the overwhelming interest in plants which is synonymous with the Lemouillites. As a result, Lumeria is the house of concoctions, potions and elixirs.

Tourism

Lumeria is sometimes referred to as the home of theater. Music is very popular among the Lemouillites and many performances of various forms take place nearly every week. All are welcomed to attend, however, participating may prove difficult as the standards of the troupe are known to be extreme.

Architecture

A common theme with the construction of Lemouillite structures are the rounded shapes and edges. Interestingly, these rounded shapes allow the water to flow effortlessly along the surface of their structures into whatever direction the architects desired. And so, even if the city is forever drenched, the walkways above the lake's surface are never flooded to the delight of just about all other visiting races.

Geography

The city is built from the bottom of the lake in an alcove to the far East of the Heindenselm Region. Furthermore, the city is directly beneath the Everflow which the Lemouillites have built around so the rushing water may be used to automate certain tasks with the use of special constructions. Lastly, the constant mist of the waterfall allows the Lemouillites to live outside of the water without any fear of drying up.
