Calpurnia
Calpurnia, among the oldest of the Great Human Cities, and former capital of the Kirshani Empire. It now serves as the capital of the successor state, the Calpurnian Kingdom.
Villages
Haulle
A small farming community of relatively little note, the village of Haulle was home to the Brothers of Haulle, a questing band of knights whose exploits saw them travel across Kirshall and Khirina.
Districts
The College of the Amantouched
The College of the Amantouched is the sole location among the human realms dedicated to the exploration of the limits of man's magical abillities. In truth, the college is little more than a home for the local eccentrics and the rare soul truly Amantouched.
The Dwarven Quarter
The easternmost parts of the kingdom have often been trafficked by traders, artisans and craftdwarves looking to sell or ply their trade. As the capital of the kingdom, Calpurnia has been the first stop on what's called the Kirshallan Loop (A stretch of road interconnected roads taken west from Khim Darohm Coast through Calpurnia, Aminum, Festinian's Kingdom then back through to Calpurnia again) many have settled within the city, making their coin building associations and Guilds for future aspirants looking to complete the loop.
Originally settling outside the city against the cities walls, the town grew to be as wealthy as any district in Calpurnia. At last in 784, the collected guilds petitioned the King and his court to incorporate the Dwarven Quarter directly into the city. The king agreed and an expansion of the cities walls would be planned.
As the Second Great Dwarven War raged in the east, scores of refugees fleeing the violence poured west, settling largely in either Calpurnia or the Kingdom of Thoromin in the south. It was many of these same refugees who helped in the rebuilding of the city when the capital was sacked during the First Calpurnian Civil War.
