Warden
Beneath the peak of Evermount, there lies the largest city in the world; spanning great hills and valleys, large rivers and lakes, the city of Warden spans out from the center of the continent, it's white marble walls glistening in the light of dawn. The center palace built into the great mountain, looms over the city below, the palace itself almost a city unto itself. It is here that the empire was founded, that the Jaralian Faith began, where the gods pulled the walls from the stone and gave their people a safe home in a wild, still untamed world.
Government
Warden is ruled by the Emperor but the Emperor has very little to do with every day life. The Marquis of White, the 'mayor' of the city possesses most of the power and authority, handling day to day issues while the city is divided into sectors that elect their own officials to form a City Council. These officials meet with the Marquis to help enact change within the city. Beyond this important parts of the city such as transportation, water, agriculture, masonry and architecture are all run by guilds who elect guild masters who bare the same rank as the elected town officials and poses their own offices and liaisons with the Marquis.
Defences
Beyond the forty feet tall, fifteen feet thick walls of marbles that encompass all of the city save for the titanic mountain at its back; the city boasts a great number of skilled soldiers, an impressive military body. This is included but not limited to the Chargers of Jericho; the Righteous Spear, an elite battalion of mounted paladins. The wall bares many ballistas and many special bolts for the siege weapons are available to deal with a wide variety of threats and each patrol on the wall is composed of two front line soldiers, two archers, one spellcaster and one cleric.
Infrastructure
The southern reaches of the city contain many large parks, watermills that line the river and well kept farm lands, these lands are often considered their own village or town within the city walls, large farms having their own stores, taverns, and residential districts for the people working them.
Assets
Whitestone is one of the greatest assets of the city, it is mined rarely but more consistently than other mountains and provides the city both a fine resource for arming their soldiers and a great resource for exporting. Beyond this the mountain also has a great amount of irons, and metals perfect for creating useful alloys.
History
Warden, the city was formed during the age of creation. At first it was just the wall separating the bulk of the human population from the wilds beyond. The walls were raised from the ground and formed by the gods of the Jaralian pantheon. From this the city gradually formed and grew, solidifying itself as the Imperial seat of power during the Age of Peace with the creation of Whitestone Palace and the dubbing of the first Jaralian Emperor.
Geography
There is a mountain behind the Whitestone Palace that reaches high into the clouds, the largest of its size recorded. The walls of the city encompass many rolling hills to the north and the east, while the south has wide open plains and several large lakes. Rivers run down from the north and from the mountain that act as the western wall to the city.
