The Capitel

"'The Capitel is the heart of this Realm, and it shall remain so for centuries to come!' -The late King Gloinus"

History
The Capitel is the head kingdom of Vviventia, acting as a home to the royal family, Parliament and many of the Realm's leaders and influential people. Located in the centre of the mainland, the kingdom has fertile ground and lush forests. Famous for its extremely high quality soil, it was settled in 1348 BG by a nomadic farming tribe known as the Ashtuhn. It was originally named Prole, and it wasn't until House Elderflower came to power in 139 BG that the kingdom was renamed to the Capitel and made to be the head kingdom of the realm.

The City of Ascara
The Capitel is also home to the royal palace, situated in the city of Ascara. The city is one of the largest in the realm, and is popular for its speciality wheat dishes such as Yhorma and Driscus. An annual parade passes from the city gates to the throne room to celebrate House Elderflower's long and complex history, with large wooden puppets resembling the previous rulers of Vviventia being carried alongside floats and the royal carriage procession. The city is constantly home to roughly 2000 Capitel guards who are some of the best trained warriors in the realm. These warriors are trained and commanded by the Knights of the 7th Order, previously members of High Lord Narvalius' personal guard that joined him in the battle of Greylock Ridge.

The Royal Palace
The Royal Palace is situated at the very heart of the Capital city of Ascara and is home to Narvalius, High Lord of Vviventia. Built high above the surrounding structures, the palace is completely elevated and is isolated from the common folk. The palace gardens bridge the gap between the throne room and the castle walls, drawing tourists in from near and far. Also found within the palace is the Parliament of the realm. This is where the academics and powerful figureheads of Vviventia gather to debate many of the most pressing topics related to the realm's security, economy and well-being.
