Pieta

Pieta, a town in the mountainous, northern region of Alphonse. It is the second largest city in Tolaine, falling behind Rabona, but is the capital of Alphonse. It began as a destroyed town (due to the actions of Isley from the original claymore storyline) but was later rebuilt by young entrepreneurs who turned it into a thriving center for trade and wealth. The descendants of these entrepreneurs became the Fellowship. The organization played a critical role in rebuilding pieta, sending out escorts to protect those which went to earn their fortunes and completely rebuilding the city from nothing, only requiring that claymores be free to enter and stay in the city and Rabona give all its unwanted children to the organization.
The organization later sent destruction squads to the city, requiring 10 times the usual fee, more than making up for the price it took to make the city. The city now has a stable economy, exporting regional specialties such as fur and snow cherries and being a central hub to deep mountain mining, a highly profitable business.
Pieta has an extensive guard force to protect the city from the Apex and protect Van Donnegon. It was designed with pointed roofs and parapets to stop awakened from entering the city.
Plague is the knight in charge of Pieta.
Baron Van Donnegon has exclusive rule over Pieta.
