City-State of Ferrus
The City-State of Ferrus is arguably the greater military power in all of Eyf Melar. Their grandiose mountains are rich in iron which they have mined extensively and used to forge arms and armor. This city seems more like a fortress built into the mountains than an major urban center.
Demographics
The Ferrians have a strict military hierarchy. Every citizen of the realm is technically a member of the Mighty Host from the lowest page (a child perhaps) to the Grand Marshal (the supreme military leader).
Government
The City-State is guided by the Law of Stone which are the laws inscribed on a wall within the Citadel by the first Grand Marshal. These laws are simple but harsh. Obedience to the Mighty Host is the main principle of this law.
Defences
The Watch Towers, the Shield Wall, and the Iron Citadel.
Industry & Trade
Iron, stone, arms, armor, and horses.
Infrastructure
This grand city is built upon the various industries of war. They have extraordinary foundries and smithies. Their trade and commerce is based on the iron mines and the various implements that are forged from that hard metal.
Guilds and Factions
Warbands are warrior factions that band together to carve out fame and fortune for themselves.
History
See the timeline of Ferrus for more details.
Architecture
The buildings of Ferrus are fashioned of stone, practical, and with a military purpose in mind. The streets cut back and forth up the side of the mountains and are frequently interrupted by small gates called Wards.
Geography
Wide open plains that are heavily farmed are dominated by the Rusted Mountains for their tell-tall red color caused by the abundance of iron. The City-State of Ferrus was founded where those fields and mountains met in a highly defensible location.
Natural Resources
Iron mines and stone quarries are the primary resources of Ferrus.
