Camdyn City
One of the oldest and greatest cities of Aasha and the seat of government of the Dukedoms of Camdyn. Located in the Prarielands at the joining of the Bae'Gesh River and Ieshnell River. At the city's heart is an ancient magical artifact that blocks magic from being used within the city's borders named the Panzerung.
Demographics
Government
While the city is technically ruled by the Duke of Camdyn, Archduke Otto Heimrich II, with Archduke Otto holding both the crowns of Duke of Camdyn and Archduke of the Prairie, the Archduke has appointed a City Protector to take care of the daily day-to-day buisiness of running the city. All issues are filtered through the City Protector with larger issues that would affect the greater Dukedom or Nation as a whole passed up to the Archduke.
Defences
The city is protected by a perfectly circular city wall several storeys tall complete with ramparts and towers. It is also protected by the Panzerung , a giant magical artifact that projects a spherical anti-magic field for miles beyond the city wall proper. To enter and exit the city, one must pass through one of the four heavily defended gates. Along the river are built the Three Brothers, three identical fortresses that guard the rivers and roads in and out of the city.
One of the most unique battalions among the Dukedom's army is the Regiment of Magebreakers who's equipment, tactics, and training were developed to defend the city from invasions of wizards or sorcerers.
Industry & Trade
The economy of Camdyn City is large and diverse. Although the majority of the city's primary exports are agricultural goods, its location and importance as a major riverport city has attracted some of the continent's finest merchants, traders, and tradesmen. Camdyn benefits greatly from excise taxes of goods and raw materials that travel up and down the rivers.
History
