Toletum
The seat of government for the Castinellan theocracy, the
province of Toletum is the nation’s military nervepoint.
Located southeast of The Charneault Kingdom, the
province serves as a gateway between The Castinellan Provinces and the rest of Etharis.
Toletum possesses a proud military tradition, one that
matches Bürach’s own province of Unterland. Per the
teachings of Empyreus, the theocracy emphasizes readiness
for war and strength in battle. As such, even a child as
young as seven knows the rudiments of the bow and spear.
Various military schools have been established
outside of the city, each one competing in annual games
to gain prestige and attract more students. Those who
choose to enroll receive membership to a mercenary company, as well as gain access to the best weapons
training outside of the Academy of Swords.
Supporting this militaristic stance is a highly developed
smithing industry. It is said that the fires of the Ember
Forge never go out, not with the continuous flow of coal
and ore from the nearby Corova Mountains and the
provinces’ appetite for a righteous war.
Toletum strictly adheres to the teachings of Empyreus
as codified in the theocracy’s laws. The laws themselves
are absolute, as citizens that espouse other beliefs are
accused of heresy. The Inquisition’s influence is most
potent here. A reward awaits those who inform on
arcane spellcasters foolish enough to enter the city.
