Corneria

Corneria is the capital city of both the Empire of Gestahl and the Republic of Corneria. It is also a city of great spiritual importance to the people of Daventry and Figaro. Corneria is ruled jointly by the Archduke and standing Regent Zodd Talbot, and the High Nobility of Corneria. The city of Corneria is split into two, Corneria Proper and The Undercity.

Corneria Proper is relatively small, with a small population of nobility and knights, as well as a few common workers who are permitted to enter this part of the city for their duties.

The Undercity is where most of Corneria's population actually lives. It is a much larger and much more chaotic series of tunnels and quarries that have millions of homes carved into their stone walls. It could be said that The Undercity is the most thriving Underdark city.

History
It is said by some that Corneria has always existed, or that it was constructed by Queen Relka in the years following her rise. Corneria was the seat of the Kingdom of Niflheim for hundreds of years before civil war tore the land in two. Corneria was a prize claimed by the Empire of Gestahl at the conclusion of the Hundred Years War. Corneria has since been controlled by the Empire for now over a hundred years. During The Collapse, the Empire of Gestahl's borders shrank and the country became isolationist. Deals were made to open up trade and parts of the city to the rest of the world. These deals resulted in the creation of the Republic of Corneria, which has since developed into a powerful naval force.
