Saint Vance

Saint Vance is the siege of the Inquisition of Sigmar, it was built around the black fortress and now stands as an important strategic point because it is the connector of the two main rivers in Vostroya, the Quirell river coming from Tam Phocai in the West, and the Vodka river coming from the East.   After the Conquest of Furio, the city is now guarded by a gargantuan flying fortress that is presumed to be foreign, because of the different architecture. the fortress is known as Castle Drakenhof. Saint Vance is also known for its ever clouded skies, making it a grim and sombre place. There are rumors of abductions and murders caused by something that is not human, and that drinks blood, a lot of it.   Notable Locations:   Castle Drakenhof (siege of Duke Furio)   The Black Fortress (HQ of the Inquisition)   The Iron Road (road that leads to Guldor)   The Touch of the Soul (Undertaker)

Government

The Duke of Saint Vance is Furio ⁣⁣ he holds nearly all power over the city's resources, and army. he leaves the market alone, and encourages trade between the villages and towns of the Duchy. His order of Knights, the Blood Knights, roam the region to keep the peace and act as information hoarders. they are known for their blood red armor, and usually considered dirty tactics during fighting (attacking legs, eyes, using deception and shadow to strike)

Defences

The city has two layers of walls: the first being on the outskirts and holding many small towers, the second is the Black Fort of the Inquisition, the oldest place of the city. Castle Drakenhof is in the sky floating and acting as a flying gargantuan tank, it was never reached during the siege in 1508 by Duke Vadim. The city is also placed on the convergence of two large rivers, making it a key strategic point in the East.
