Lotharleach

= = This ancient city is the capital of Balamere. It is built around a massive waterfall that leads into a grand river, and the metropolitan cliffside is riddled with mines, many of which have been refashioned into streets. In the highest sections, on the waterfront, the richest merchants and nobles live. As the cliff descends the mines reveal hovels built into the mountain holding thousands of peasants. This is one of the ten largest cities in the world, and draws people for miles to seek their fortune.

DEFENCES
2,994 dedicated town guards roam this gigantic metropolis. It is almost impossible to invade this city, as you have the choice to cross the river and risk the waterfall, take the narrow bridge and endure bombardment, or take the steep mountain path and travel through the labyrinthian mine streets. The Fallriders are griffin-mounted paladins dedicated to the protection of Lotharleach, and tend to ward off any military incursions.
