Kadesmuth

Careful thought was put into the defence of Kadesmuth when it was founded, but maintenance have slipped in recent years. It is ringed by a tall wall, with 3 gates, each watched over by a well equipped and staffed gatehouse. A second wall divides the city, but the demands of industry and insistence of easy passage has left it riddled with arches and gaps. The original single gatehouse has sprawled and become main headquarters of the city watch, that still patrol along the wall.   The final line of defence is Castle Kade, with its high, siegeweapon topped walls, moat and Govenor Fengel's of personal guard. He is willing to burn the city down around his keep in order to prevent it from being taken.   Externally, further out among the farmlands of the Allila planes, three small fortresses stand as a vanguar to any attack on the city. Each of them is named after one of the founding virtues of Kadesmuth, Glory, Temertity and Forewarning. They, and Kadesmuth's walls themselves, are crewed by relatively unseasoned soldiers, mostly freshly arrived settlers after an easy way to make coin.

Kadesmuth is a thriving city, and a very large number of guilds have made their way there to enjoy the comparitively lower tarrifs and access to Taliochen goods for crafting. The largest and most influential are:   A few noble houses make Kadesmuth their home, the most powerful being the house of Fengel, to whom the govenor belongs. House Moraline is allied strongly with Duke Storcel, of Fathom's Canton, on the mainland. New noble houses have been created, and the govenor has been given considerable freedom in granting title and land, though how much these titles are respected back in Lareena remains to be seen.

Kadesmuth was founded sixty years ago on the orders of King Forsteer, who expended a huge amount of money and man power to quicky establish a well fortified settlment. It has rapidly expanded in size and wealth since  The mouth of the river Kade is the ideal place for a city to be built, and many cities have been built on that exact site. The basement of every home and church in Kademuth leads into a buidling buried beneath silt, and every foundation rests upon the stones dug before.   Legend has it that every colonisation of Talioche meets with failure, and brings down the empire with it. Beneath the Kadesmuth lies the Ly'tel Fer-Sal, the city of reforged iron. The capital of Talioche, when it was ruled by the elvish Republic of Marnain. Its buried streets and elegant buildings still bear the signs of the night of the unchained

Most dwellings in Kadesmuth are timber, particularly the newer ones that have overflowed out of the confines of the city walls. Stone buildings are a luxury, as stone to build with needs to be imported from a fair distance, making it cost prohibitive to most. Among the newer stone constructions
