Cerrach

Cerrach is a prominent fortress-city in Southern Paledia. Established by Emperor Dralian I of Therida once the Wars of Expansion had been concluded, Cerrach has long been a military city, known for its high defensive walls and towers, as well as the fierce Imperial garrison within.
Established in order to ensure the Empire maintained control over Southern Paledia, the region having a high dwarven population, it has served as a symbol of dominance throughout the land.
In recent years, Cerrach has come increasingly into competition with Freylea, a major city and trading hub since the time of the Age of Many and the fractured dwarven states. There is considerable debate at the Royal Court in Thedrinydd over which city should be given precedence, some arguing that Cerrach needs the economic boost, whilst others claim that is not its purpose in the continent, it is there to dissuade revolt.
In recent times, the Dwarven Uprising in the Ingthorp Mountains that have seized control of the city of Ureloth has caused considerable concern throughout Paledia, the south in particular. Despite calls from the Imperial Court, troops remain firmly behind the safety of Cerrach's wall, many believing that for the dwarves to ever succeed in their revolt, they would need to seize the city, something few believe is likely.
