Allius

Allius is the capital of the Empire Of Agate. It is deep in Solaris, surrounded by mountains. The terrain around the city plus the wall make Allius a natural fortress city. Its old timey architecture and huge castle make this city a landmark in Solaris.
At the top of the city sits Avalon, the home of the True King and Queen. It itself is a symbol of the empire's power. Most of the castle is actually an Inn. The keeper rents out rooms to travelers and wanderers for very reasonable prices. Below the castle sits the entrance to "The Garden Of Eden" a cavern in which sits the relic that grants "The Truth." The power that gives the King and Queen extended life.
The city itself has next to no crime. Under the direct power of the empire, the citizens of Allius need not worry about poverty or homelessness. The Caste City is more or less a paradise. The citizens are thoroughly tested and watched over before they are allow permanent residence.
Although the city has many guards and sentries, the city occasionally has a shade or wraith slip in through the walls to wreck havoc on the city. The city has a special task force named "The Night Watch" that watches out for just such a thing.
Allius is the current home to a few powerful families such as the Everheart, the family of the current Queen, and the vampire family Barlow who is headed by its sole heir, Vincent.
