of the skulls appear fresher than others, and it seems<br />

the tradition has been carried forward. Many Llaelese<br />

loyalists use Traitor’s Gate as a meeting place in the<br />

dead of night though they usually go elsewhere to talk.<br />

Merywyn<br />

In Power: Prime Minister Lord Deyar Glabryn,<br />

Count Jessup Hygrenne, and the Council of Nobles all<br />

subordinate to Kommandant Mikhail Ivdanovich<br />

Population: 220,000 (human, some few elves,<br />

dwarves, gobbers, very few ogrun and trollkin)<br />

Military: Merywyn is a major staging ground for<br />

the ongoing Khadoran war effort. Tens of thousands<br />

of Winter Guard troops reinforced by a large number<br />

of warjacks occupy the city, quartering anywhere they<br />

can find room, including buildings taken from their<br />

previous inhabitants. Officers and leaders occupy the<br />

old royal palace.<br />

Imports: Luxuries, iron, foodstuffs, textiles, wood<br />

Exports: Wine, coal, crafted goods, paper<br />

Shining capital and bastion of Llaelese culture,<br />

Merywyn is a city of tall spires, soaring buttresses, and<br />

baroque architecture. As the heart of the Llaelese<br />

economy, Merywyn relied heavily on traffic along the<br />

Black River for its trade, scrupulously recording and<br />

tithing all merchant ships allowed past its chained<br />

watch stations. The kingdom’s influential noble<br />

families spent much of the year in the city attending<br />

the Council of Nobles in the Immaculate Chamber.<br />

One famous estate has stood empty and abandoned for<br />

years, however. The royal palace of the former kings of<br />

Llael has become the headquarters and barracks of<br />

the Khadoran occupation army. Their soldiers spill<br />

out into the city bedecked in blood red uniforms, and<br />

the tread of their marching boots step in time.<br />
