Citadel City, Capital of the Queendom of the Sun

TBD

Elective Theocracy, Constitutional Monarchy with a Parliament   The Queendom had, until recently, been under the absolute rule of The Queen and Her Knight Orders. After 70 years of rule, The Queen reorganized the nation to allow the citizens to largely govern themselves, only using her authority to rescue the Queendom from collapsing under less capable leaders, before handing the nation right back to elected officials. Despite allowing the High Priest/Priestess to be elected, not a single candidate has successfully managed to sway public opinion in offering to replace The Queen in almost 300 years, even when she opted not to campaign. During that particular election, no candidates rose to take the seat, and all religious functions halted until The Queen resumed her duties nearly 3 months after elections had ended. Since then, it is rumored that she is seeking to groom a candidate to finally relieve her of her station. If it is true, either none have yet to pass selection, or complete the training required to fully become the Most High.

TBD, although there are some notable entries below:  

• Barrier Towers: Citadel City uses large towers to extend security far beyond their walls. They emit a selective energy shield, that prevents the Undead from passing through. Smaller towers and pylons are strung along to secure roads and other paths, and there are even smaller models for private and personal use.

TBD

There are four primary factions: The Mage's Tower, The Knight Orders, the Salvage Unions, and the Church of The Architect. Details to follow.

TBD, although listed below are some notable locations:     Crystal Castle Ruins: Eerily elegant, hauntingly beautiful, and the city’s most holy location, this ruined fortress was kept in its current state by order of The Queen, never to be restored nor further salvaged. The Church holds functions here, historians and researchers study and observe every scrap of material they are permitted to access, and The Queen resides deeper within, at the top of the Spire of the Sun. The Queen prohibits exploring the deeper levels and strictly enforces this rule. While there are never any guards visible to prevent anyone from passing, many daredevils who attempt it all speak of a hideous sense of foreboding that renders them so ill, they cannot continue very far before losing consciousness. They always awaken back at wherever they first entered. It is assumed that there are religious or personal reasons why none should enter, though some devious minds whisper of a hidden treasure of great power that The Queen jealously hoards...   Spire of the Sun: Located at the center of the top level of the Crystal Castle Ruins, The Queen sits atop her Crystal Throne. Here, The Queen manages her affairs, holds important meetings, and basically does anything a Queen needs to do. It is also here, at the lower levels, that the Knights conduct their training and garrison their reserves. It’s rarely quiet here, always bustling with visitors conducting business and completing pilgrimages; Squires and Armigers (lowest rank of Knights reserved for trainees) completing their studies and daily regimen, and sometimes, throngs of children play while their parents or guardians attend services. At all times of the day, there are no armed guards or police within the Castle, or within the Spire, only whatever equipment is issued from the Grand Armory to those who need them. The people express their faith in each other and their Queen by stowing weapons and magic.
