Lothair

Lothair is an important city within the Dominion of New Haven. The city is a major stronghold in the East of the Dominion, known for the large number of Golems they possess and create, and for the prominence of the Guild of Artifice, who practically run the city.
Lothair uses Golems across the city in many ways, from walking street lamps, to automatons pulling carriages, to the Golem warriors walking upon the walls who defend the city.
=== Background ===
After Old Haven fell to undead forces, the Dragonvale Republic fractured into many different city-states and noble houses. A few decades later the city of New Haven would be properly established as the new capital and reunite the region, however before that could happen, several major cities seized power over their surrounding areas. One of these was Lothair.
During the unstable years between Old Haven and New Haven, Lothair was the most powerful and influential city in the area around the Dragonclaw, largely due to being the first line of defense in the East, in case of a Whytehold invasion. To build up a powerful defense, and prevent the Kingdom from invading the fractured states of the Dragonvale, the Overseer of Lothair conscripted all Golem Knights in the region, and paid vast sums of money to the Guild of Artifice to enhance the city's defenses, build more golems, and construct powerful magical weapons and armour. Whytehold didn't invade at the time, but regardless, this granted great power and wealth to the Guild of Artifice, who expanded their own facilities and influence.
When at last, the Arcane Dragon Brood determined that New Haven would be the new capital, and reunited the Dragonvale under the Dominion of New Haven, Lothair peacefully acquiesced, however due to their significant power, arranged a treaty which granted them a level of autonomy not afforded to other cities, in exchange for the use of their golems and artificers in building up New Haven. As part of this treaty, the Guild of Artifice would not have to give up their exclusive secrets to the Academies, and would get a seat on the Archmage's Council.
