Archeon is the capital city of the Kingdom of Norta, and the permanent residence of the royal family.

Description[]

Archeon is divided into West Archeon and East Archeon. A triple-layered bridge runs across the wide Capital River, linking the two cities on either side. It's thousands of feet long and thriving, alive with light and electricity. There are shops and market squares, all built into the Bridge itself. The Bridge is a hundred feet above the river. Transports blaze along the lowest tier of the Bridge. Both ends of the Bridge are gated, and the city sectors on either side are walled in.

East Archeon[]

The Bridge and East Archeon are for civilians, the common Silvers, though many are richer than some nobles. Common Silvers are merchants, businessmen, soldiers, officers, shop owners, politicians, land barons, artists, and intellectuals.

On the east bank, great metal towers stab out of the ground. More transports and people populate the paved streets that climb up the hilly riverbanks, connecting the buildings to the Bridge and the outer gates. The walls are diamondglass, but set with floodlit metal towers and other structures. There are patrols on the walls.

The Hexaprin Theater is here. It's small but very grand, with a green domed roof crowned by a black swan. It shows plays, concerts, and archive films. There are closed balconies above the stage for nobles and seats below for common Silvers. The Bowl of Bones is also located in East Archeon.

West Archeon[]

West Archeon is for the court of the king. All the High Houses keep residences here as well. The entire country can be controlled from West Archeon, if the need should arise.

The western bank is sharply sloped, with the palace and other government buildings sitting at the crest of a hill overlooking the Bridge. Another wall surrounds the hilltop, fencing in the heart of the country. the Royal Court and the Treasury Hall are made from gleaming white marble and flank Whitefire Palace.
