Blumenthal
A sprawling collection of rural farmsteads connected by administration buildings, Blumenthal is Rexxentrum's main source of produce and meat. Numerous government-owned fields and orchards harvest cold-weather crops and livestock, and families chosen to tend to the land are paid by the Crown to gather their goods and deliver them to the gates of the capital. Some who till the land are frustrated that they don’t own their plots outright, but with generational incentives for those who keep to the family plot like their ancestors, others see it as investment toward eventually living in greater comfort than the typical farmer.
As Rexxentrum's survival depends on Blumenthal’s fields, the Crown has erected dozens of Crownsguard watchtowers at the corner farmers’ plots to watch for thieves, scavengers, and monstrous predators. The people of Blumenthal can’t help but feel the watchful eye of the Crown on them at all times, looming over their work and dampening their spirits. Yet even in such troubled times, Starosta Judus Olessia works directly with Argonomist June Wiston to improve the lives of the hard-working farmers who support the success of Blumenthal—and thus of the empire.
A respectable cadre of Crownsguard and a small body of Righteous Brand soldiers keep the farmsteads of Blumenthal safe.
While food, produce, and basic supplies are available, little else can be found since most trade heads straight to the capital.
A temple to Pelor stands vigil over the heart of the farmland. The farming guilds all work under the strict expectations of the Crown.
