Earthguard

Location: Carved into the mountains, wrapping upward in three tiers with walkways spanning the heights and a central lift connecting each level.

Governance:

• Duke Grath and Duchess Furenza are the official nobility ruling Earthguard, overseeing long-standing traditions and alliances.

• Baroness Vimya, their daughter, is a young but fierce orator, often seen advocating for reforms and modernization.

• Commander Drekhan Voidmarch [Goliath] serves as the acting mayor and military commander. A towering presence of stoic resolve, Drekhan is responsible for maintaining internal security and organizing civic projects, often acting as the practical executor of the Duke’s will.

Character of the City:
Earthguard is a vertical marvel, built into the bones of the mountain itself. Elevated walkways and clever lifts allow citizens and merchants to move between the three tiers with ease. Each district boasts its own personality, contributing to a bustling city of diplomacy, trade, arcane study, and ancestral pride.
