Shroudpoint
Shroudpoint is one of the capitals of Prosi and overseas the surrounding area.
Shroudpoint is a heavily militaristic city and region and that is an attitude that permeates throughout the many industries and practices of the city. It values a meritocracy about all else. The leader of the city isn't elected, isn't by birthright, it is by promotion from the rank just below that which was earned through a long career of public service.
Shroudpoint has a long history of animosity towards Everwell and the Latham family. This animosity culminated in the attempted assassination of the king of Everwell 100 years ago at the yearly meeting at Pearl Isle between the two nations. Since that time Shroudpoint has not been allowed to have a standing military force, just a militia capable of defending the city from possibly attack by wild creatures and bandits.
The militia of Shroudpoint is the largest in Prosi with most citizens having served in it at some point or another in their lives. It is regimented and structured as well as any other city's fighting forces. It is strictly overseen by Everwell representatives but it remains within the structure of restrictions placed on the city.
