Ambergard- Capital of Thira

Located in the center of the country, Ambergard is the heart of the nation. Built around the Buckwell Basin, where the four rivers meet, it is the central location for almost everything.

The Wolfshire Palace has been the primary residence of the Thirian Royal Family for nearly 1000 years. Along with the Parliament House and the Great Court.

On top of being the seat of government, Ambergard is the center for art, entertainment, and education. The Celestial Library is the biggest in the country and one of the biggest and most ornate in the world. The Academy is Thira's main University and Military school with renowned programs including, but not limited to, science, sorcery, art, architecture, and diplomatic studies.

As a defensive measure, there are thick, high walls surrounding the city. Guard watch towers were placed at each of the four gates as well as strategic points in between. If the country were ever attacked, the city would act as a safe haven for the surrounding villages.
