Perillim

The capital of the Empire of Man, this city stood tall as a testament to the unity it brought. At the time a city bustling with trade, commerce, and politics, Perillim is now a heavily defended bunker. While they still conduct trade when possible, most is done through magic and other methods of remote transportation. Any access given to outsiders is a possibility for an invasion.   Perillim was constructed at the height of the Empire's power, when its Emperor, [name needed] decided that a new city should be created by a diverse mix of people to represent the Empire. Its architecture boasts a vast combination of different styles from many different cultures, all of which blend together as you travel through various parts of the city. The elegance of the ancient elves gives way seamlessly to the rigid structure of the dwarves before blending into the small, humble dwellings of halflings.   The city and the empire have seen a great variety of emperors, who all left their mark on the city in one way or another. Some constructed statues of themselves to be remembered by, others funded museums or libraries. Some, of course, contributed negatively, with some districts showing signs of damage even today due to racial conflicts and the presence of memorials to those who were lost in unnecessary wars.   Even now, the symbol of Perillim holds strong, and the country that takes control of Perillim is considered to be the new empire. After all the conflicts, history, and culture that have developed in the city, it has become the heart of the old world, and any who wish to return to that glorious age will look to it for inspiration.
