Kadesmuth
Kadesmuth is the largest city on Talioche, and primary jewel in the crown of Lareena's overseas territories. Built over the remains of the lost cities that lead previous attempts to settle Talioche, it is a rich, varied and thriving city. For now.
Immigration to Talioche is huge, in part due the encouragement of Lareena's government giving a small sum to settlers and paying for their passage.
Defences
Careful thought was put into the defence of Kadesmuth when it was founded, but defences have slipped in recent years. It is ringed by a tall wall, with 3 gates, each watched over by a well equipped and staffed gatehouse. A second wall divides the city, but the demands of industry and insistence of easy passage has left it riddled with arches and gaps. The original single gatehouse has sprawled and become main headquarters of the city watch, that still patrol along the wall.
The final line of defence is Castle Kade, with its high, siegeweapon topped walls, moat and Govenor Morline's small army of personal guard. He is willing to burn the city down around his keep in order to prevent this keep from being taken.
Infrastructure
