Alteburg

There is a large and ancient fortress on the southern slope of Sliber Berg. The fortress existed long before the city's founding and when the Old Mountainheartians arrived on the island. When the town was first founded, they turned it into King Fredrick's residence and seat of power, pending the construction of a proper castle. Today, the so-called Alteburg serves as the headquarters of the city's garrison and the city watch. Over the centuries, the ward surrounding it has filled with those seeking the security provided by the watch headquarters and had the wealth to outbid everyone else for the land. The gentry, poorer peers of the realm, and well-to-do merchants and professionals populate the ward.
