The capital of the empire is also the first city to ever be conquered by the Nostari Family. The city is carved into a mountain set upon an peninsula. The only way into the city is across an open plain by land, or through an incredibly heavily defended Cave Harbor that sits just beneath the mountain. Forty Kilometers of open land, half of which are filled with farms and small communities, lead to a dense forest thick with enchantments and infested with all sorts of dangerous creatures. Witchers, monster hunters, are commonly hired to thin out the monsters, and Kathln holds them in regard as high as craftsmen.
Of craftsmen the city holds many, architects, artificers, Magicians, Guilds of tailors, blacksmiths, artists, and many many more. Fishing is both a popular pasttime and a common source of income. In military, the city is the primary house of the Empire, and as such stations many Imperial Guards and Royal Centurions, trained at birth to be obedient, strong, and resolute in the face of any foe. The fields are used as a staging grounds, training legions of troops on any given day. As the Nostari Empire is highly progressive, especially in the area of war, an active military weapons testing area is set aside in the plains, where the mad men who create engines of war may do so without causing too much damage to the civilians.
