Friegisch

Friegisch bears the scars of its unrelenting environment. The city is surrounded by a series of imposing stone walls and watchtowers, built to keep the dangers of the wilderness at bay but themselves covered in snow and ice. The buildings within the city are primarily constructed from timber and stone, with narrow streets winding between them. The city's atmosphere is one of grim determination, with the population wearing but rags to keep the cold off. The houses are old and in disrepair and the city, apart from the walls feels more like one giant slum. Bodies sit or lie next to the road, covered in ripped blankets and snow. It is not clear how many of them are simply sleeping and how many may have succumbed to the cold.
Friegisch is ruled by Duke Roderic von Falkenheim, who holds absolute power over the city and its people. The local nobility, including the Duke, are primarily concerned with the city's defences and the maintenance of the northern military outposts, which has led to a strict and authoritarian rule. 
Friegisch is heavily fortified. Its defences include sturdy stone walls, watchtowers, and gates. To the north the military outposts, Friegwall, Rosenwall, Dunklenwall, and Alterwall stand as formidable fortresses in their own right and serve as early warning systems to protect the city from whatever lurks beyond the wilderness of the Ke'elinawi Peninsula.

== History ==
Friegisch, the capital of the Duchy of Friegisch, has a storied history that dates back several centuries. Founded as a remote trading post by Imperial explorers, it grew into a bustling hub for trade and commerce due to its strategic location on the Ke'elinawi Peninsula. However, the city's history is marred by the harshness of its surroundings and increasingly the military that has come to dominate it and its politics.
