Defences
The city has three separate rings of defenses, hard thick stone walls reinforced over the ages, the square towers largely converted to modern round ones, each mounted with either ballista or cannons. Along with that the city maintains a large permeant guard of mercenaries called the Blue Coats whom answer to the first Boyar. In times of crisis, the whole city may also be levied to a person, and many Hussars owe allegiance to magnars and boyars of the city, and will add to its defense.
Industry & Trade
The city has most of the heavy industry in the country with the famous Ozerud Arms Company and the Mordin's Mine Mouth provide much of the hard material produced in the country and give a major monopoly on minerals produced domestically. Ozerud also acts as the center place with more recent trade with The Union of Dwarven Freeholds provide much wealth, as does it as a center of domestic trade, as many Boyars come to deal in finances and politics here.
Infrastructure
The City is separated into five districts connected through a series of bridges and roads allowing for access the three major highways linking the city to most others in the country. Along with that a basic rail mining system exists in the nearby mines.
Guilds and Factions
Within the city there are the Maestros College, the smallest of the major bards colleges in the continent still remains a prime location for higher learning and a place many early boyars sons learn politics and useful skills. The College keeps a strong political arm within the city, but beyond has limited reach. Also inside is the First Boyar's archmage whom acts primarily to advise the hall of Boyars on magical matters and also assist the First Boyar in his political ends.
Geography
Built into a river basin at the feet of the Mordin Spine mountains, Ozerud is a rocky ore rich area that despite the thinner soil is gifted with the usual fertility that comes with the controlled flooding and irrigation from the predictable ice melt and river basins.
