Emon

Emon is the capital city within the realm of Tal'Dorei. It stands defiantly against all who would threaten Tal'Dorei and its people. It is the cultural heart of human civilization on Gwessar, and is the republic's capital, Emon is a nexus of politics, justice, business, industry, and education within the realm.

Encircled by 60-foot-high walls that stretch from the eastern fields to the western shore, Emon is accessible only through its heavily-patrolled gates and by skyship, the denizens of the city are generally well protected from outside attackers and sieges. A well-trained of force of guards known as the Arms of Emon enforces the laws of the land from the Military District. Dense farms and farm communities surround the north-eastern boundary of the city, while large slums cap the northern and southern landscape outside of the city walls.

Leadership
Emon is the seat of the Council of Tal'Dorei, the nation's highest governing body. Through the council originally served under the Sovereign of Tal'Dorei, the nation's final Sovereign was killed when the Chroma Conclave attacked Emon. Following the death of Thordak the Cinder King and the rest of the Conclave, Emon was rebuilt and the Council reformed as the backbone of the new Republic of Tal'Dorei.

One unintended consequence of relying on magic to rapidly rebuild Emon is that the mages of Tal'Dorei hold incredible influence over the city and it became a worry of many that the Sovereign would be unable to keep the arcanists in line, but this didn't occur in the close future of the city.

Demographics
As the capital city of Tal'Dorei, Emon is also the most populous at 287,550 citizens. The population is mostly human (68%) with a significant minority of dwarves (7%) and elves (6%). Other races make up the remainder (19%) so that nearly every race is represented in the city in some way.
