The seven pact cities
Karzhar, Sathkar, Belkar, Leviakol, Mammon-Ur, Asmotheri and Belikatra, at the level of human capitals.
Aurum Roma
The heart-city. Seat of the One, of the Cathedral of the Choir and of the Perpetual Vigil — and the only exception to the 250,000 cap.
Bernkanton
Forty-five thousand people, a deliberately weak capital — and the vaults holding everyone’s money.
Brithon
Estuary, fog and holy coal. The only great capital the war has never touched.
Why there are no metropolises
The Ivandir Doctrine: the world’s largest city died in one night, and the continent learned that density is a target.
Karzhar
White marble over the ruins of Vehr Major. Beautiful, orderly, ordinary — and with an empty throne.
Königsburg
Fjord head, subarctic, military and academic. Throne and altar under one roof.
City chronology
Twenty-seven urban milestones — and the reason Pandæmonium gets none.
Pandæmonium
The terrestrial capital of Hell, described only by sources that contradict each other. None is reliable.
Stromakra
A fortress city on the skirt of the Volkar volcano, atop Seal III. The world’s Ardentine refining.
Velinia
An archipelago city in the Sea of the Choir. Trading floor and frontier town at once.
Vykhrad
A plateau capital, rich and idle. The king arbitrates and does not rule; eleven houses do.
