Archaut

Archaut: the Monument City, seat of the Council, home of the Citadel. Since the city sprang up around the burial site of King Falladir, Archaut has served as the capital of Terrinoth.  The Citadel—onetime castle of Daqan—is the meeting place for the Council of Thirteen and the administrative and judicial  center of Terrinoth. In the intervening years, the city has grown from a small mausoleum to a true city, driven largely by the annual presence of the Council of Barons.

Temples of nearly every faith can be found here. Once the royal seat of King Daqan, the Citadel of Archaut is the grandest castle in Terrinoth. It plays host to the Council of Thirteen, and so is the political center of the Daqan Lords. The Steward of the Citadel commands the Citadel Guard, a force comprised of knights and soldiers from every Barony and Free City. When the Daqan Lords wage war, it is in the halls of the Citadel that they draw their battle plans.

Most of the year, Archaut is more of a ghost town. But, when the Council meets, the city becomes alive with traveling merchants, delegates, entertainers, and servants. If needed, quite a large population can take refuge within its many walls as well, and even fall back to the rear, inner keep.
