History

The Citadel was created as an act of defiance against the goddess Phusdite when she demanded that her temple become the capital of Katyusha, All other gods and goddesses came together to help the Katyushans build the city and that is why there are so many families and guilds in the city (also because its huge!). The gods and goddesses soon found out what their sister was made of when she created The Frost to destroy their city, they prepared for the frost by building the dungeons below the city so that their people could hide in the case that The Frost swept across the land. The Frost came too soon and it swept over the city killing everything that was not native to Katyusha, but anything below the city was saved and unharmed.

Architecture

The Architecture of The Citadel changes from place to place, but it is entirely made of types of stones and minerals from underground, except for the docks and the roofs of each house that are made out of waterborne clay and the occasional Spruce planks. most of the walls of each house are different colors, they sometimes match the type of families that own the area but all of the houses have at least two windows and a front and back door.
