Imperial City
The dark heart of the Imperial Order's tyranny in the Old World.
The Imperial City is a fortified stronghold located in the Old World, serving as the capital of the Imperial Order under Emperor Jagang. It stands as the political and spiritual center of the Order's brutal regime, a stark contrast to the ideals of the D'Haran Empire. Built upon ancient ruins, it represents the tyranny and chaos that Richard Rahl and the Midlands fought against during the war with the Imperial Order.

Contexto e história
The Imperial City was the seat of the Imperial Order, the vast and oppressive empire led by Emperor Jagang. Unlike the People's Palace in D'Hara, which stood for truth and justice, the Imperial City was a bastion of the Order's fanatical rule, enforcing its will through brute force and magic. It was never a capital of Richard Rahl's D'Haran Empire, nor was it associated with the First Empire; instead, it was a key stronghold in the Old World that Richard and his allies ultimately sought to liberate.
Guia do leitor
Geographically, the capital sits in the fertile Midlands, surrounded by forests that once hid refugees during times of war. The climate is temperate, allowing for agriculture and trade to flourish under Imperial protection. Culturally, it represents a fusion of ancient D'Haran architecture with new designs focused on openness and justice. The city plays a pivotal role as the administrative center where laws are enacted and magic is regulated by the Mord-Sith and Confessors working in harmony. Key plot points include Richard's coronation and the final consolidation of peace after the war against Jagang. It serves as a safe haven for travelers seeking refuge from the Borderlands. Visitors note the grand palace structure, which overlooks the central square where public gatherings occur. The presence of magic is visible but controlled, ensuring safety for all citizens. This location remains the anchor point for the Empire's stability in the Third Age.
