Howe (City)

Former Star of the Confederation

The city of Howe was built to be an architectural marvel for all who visit the massive city. Many different statues, wonders, and other landmarks dot the streets. Parks and other natural areas can be found throughout the city, providing the populace serene places to spend their free time at. The city is split into three primary districts:

• The Hubranch district takes up three quarters of the city and makes up all of the functional parts of the city. It holds the markets, business areas, and other such necessary entities.

• The Golden District, where the nobility of Hubranch within the city formerly resided. This was also the location of King Holand’s castle and many luxuries like the Steaming Stone Spa. 

• The Confederation district holds the Embassy building where representatives from other nations, the provinces, and other major leaders would stay while visiting the Head of State. It also had many architectural marvels to show off to these visiting dignitaries as a show of the power of the Cinder Confederation.

Half a millennia ago Howe was assaulted by a massive horde of undead under the command of a lich, intent on wiping out the city. This horde was barely repelled by adventurers working alongside the city's officials and guards. Since that assault however, Howe lost influence on the world stage and within the Cinder Confederation as Hubranch's power waned. 

Two decades ago the city of Howe was taken by the Yarmehtoo army and sacked, destroying much of its former landmarks, and causing much of the population to flee the city. Since then the city has been occupied by a strong garrison of Yariel's best warriors, preparing for the potential counterattack of the Cinder Confederation.
