Tauber Citadel

Tauber Citadel
Tauber Citadel, often referred to as the Emerald Citadel for it's proximity to Elmfax's only known emerald mine. It is the right and mighty capital of a sizable Kingdom, also referred to as Tauber for short. The massive walls of Tauber Citadel are continually expanding as the its architects dream up more massive constructs to add to the city, of which is actually nested in the baileys and courtyards between the walls. The city possesses its own chapter of Knights, The High Order of the Brink Knights, who serve as the local watch and guardians of Tauber’s King, Falk Acht VIII.

Tauber Citadel is host to a wide variety of attractions including theaters for aspiring actors, the famous distillery for Emerald Gin, a renowned jousting tournament and fair grounds, one of the largest archives in Elmfax, plus the usual assortment for a city of it's scale including a large trading port and massive farmlands. In spite of the tourism the attractions bring, the city tends to veer on the quiet side as the Brink Knights staunchly maintain order within the walls.

The city is situated on the coastline of the Brumaar Straight but poses little in the ways of natural defenses as a city… so over the years the city adapted to this and built its own massive defenses. No army has ever come close to touching the Tauber Citadel because the colossal towers of Tauber spire higher than any mindless levvyman would ever dare approach.

However, The Brink Knights have made one enemy for Tauber since it's conception, when the city grew immensely and did not wish to pay taxes to Glavendauxy during their era of incompetence, (So it seceded and became it's own Kingdom.) and those enemies, they are the Tremarcki alliance to the south of the Valunspires. The Knights have done all of Northern Elmfax a great service, as Tauber is a gateway to said lands, and has rigorously stood watch over the isthmus between Southern and Northern Elmfax. Countless times Tremarcki armies have invaded Tauber lands. But each and every time those incursions failed miserably; for the Brink Knights of Tauber could best a Tremarcki Orc any day.
