Anselm (city)

Anselm is a major metropolis in the Alfaxmos Imperium and arguably the most fortified place in the world.

Description
Gorgeous rolling plains and meadows surround the boulevards leading up to the enormous main gates. Its tall grey walls provide perfect visibility for miles, as was intended; Anselm is a specially designed fortress city built to defend against the Celestine Empire. It is a popular destination for vacationing nobility due to the incredible views and safety of the omnipresent Imperial Army.

Bulwark
The tall, sloping, angular walls of Anselm's bulwark of defenses not only provide safety, but also spectacular views. Imperial troops tend to spend their days shooing away dawdling landscape artists and handsy lovers.

The Observatory
In the center of Anselm sits a strange domed building- the Observatory. It houses a massive enchanted telescope intended to look deep into the world's magical Tides.

Westmoreland Exotics
Interesting knick knacks from outside the Core Empires can be found the Westmoreland Trade Company's discount warehouse, Westmoreland Exotics- everything from Dwarven dinnerware to Drow scythes.

Imperial Apogee
The tourist trap to end all tourist traps, Imperial Apogee sells surplus Imperial Army equipment and mountains of souvenirs and memorabilia. Novelty photographs are by far the most popular keepsake.

Brunhilde's Boulevard
Along the sleepy residential streets lies an exclusive bed and breakfast, Brunhilde's Boulevard. Run by a former Madame, this inn caters to tourist's romantic sides.

The Exclusive Lounge
It may be hard to see through all the cigar and pipe smoke, but the Exclusive Lounge hosts impressive decor as well as classy, upscale acts. A 2 drink minimum keeps things from getting boring.

Vacky Vilhelms Vunderful Vomitorium
This unfortunately titled venue was built to be fun for the whole family- however, in reality it caters mostly to drunk, off-duty Alfaxmos troops. Vacky Vilhelm's Vunderful Vomitorium sells greasy street food beside its ludicrous, gaudy amusements and rides.
