Imperial City
Imperial City: From the North
CONSTRUCTION
Imperial City is my oldest and largest location. It was originally known as Denbar since it grew up outside the gates of Cair Denbar. It began as a small village outside the castle, and quickly grew into a small sprawling city.
The original City Gate is now part of Dolan Square, the largest square in the city. The city has been continually growing for nearly 10 years, and always has a vague plan for the next area it could possibly expand the next time it needs to.
The city contains multiple neighborhoods, some of which are underground, some have been built over with other, newer neighborhoods, and some have been reconstructed entirely at least once.
Imperial City boasts three fully-functioning City Gates, all of which are run by redstone. Each gate can be put into regular mode where a switch opens and closes it, but the also have a fully automated mode where they close automatically at sundown and reopen at sunrise.
LORE
Imperial City is the largest city and capital of the Imperial Republic of Denbar. It began long ago as Denbar City, which grew into the Kingdom of Denbar, the Denbarian Empire, and now the Imperial Republic of Denbar.
Denbar was settled long ago by the Wizards. Their castle, Cair Denbar, sits high on a mountaintop above the city. The city boasts the largest church – the Cathedral of Light, and the world’s second busiest Skyport. You can take an airship from here to 6 of the other 7 cities in the Empire.
Imperial City also has the world’s first Halls of Healing and the second largest Halls of Learning – pretty much a full school. There is also a Battle Arena, a Theatre, and one of the world’s largest skyports.
