Polaria
Polaria is the majastic capital of the West in South Angoria. One of the most famed cities in the human union, it is home to the Dragon Warrior Knights and keeps the largest army in the human continents. Castle Polaria is one of the most beautiful creations of the human race and its spires stand tall and mighty pointing to the sky. The castle is nestled against the mountain and merged with it, its halls reaching deep into the mountain and providing escape routes should Polaria ever fall. The castle has never been breached by any large attacking force including an army of dragons.
Races from allover the world have made a home in Polaria and the cobble stone streets are filled with merchants and entertainers vying for visitors attention. The inner walls of Polaria house the nobles and it's where the core of politics happens. The house of the Blessed Arcane is home to the powerful clerics of the kingdom. The grand wizards run the Polarian School of Magic, headed by Poji, the Grand Master of the Wizards School.
At the High Spire District, upon tall iron lamp posts, magical light spills into the streets guiding visitors and natives through the beautiful flagstone streets. Here the architecture of buildings are formed into large spires that reach high into the sky, by far a display of wealth and power for any that live in the apartments of the this district. Restaurants and Taverns or the best in the world, and many visitors come to stare in awe at the marvel of human innovation and creation.
There are many other districts including the Elvin, Dwarven, Oriental and Halfling districts. Outside the last layer of walls is the Polaria Academy of Knowledge. The academy is famed as one of the most regarded and exemplary schools in the land. It focuses from the sciences and magical study, to war and history and everything else in between.
