Lionclaw

Lionclaw is a city that stands on the border of the Elarian Empire and the land of Goldwyn, built in a mountain pass that travels between them. The city is ruled by House Lionclaw, a noble house that was once part of the Highbranch Kingdom. Lionclaw remained neutral during the Crimson War, forbidding either side from travelling through the mountains. While this prevented a great deal of fighting for many years, Lionclaw ultimately fell to the Red Claw when Commander Azulan Vyke led an attack on the city. Lionclaw is now a part of the Elarian Empire. 
Lionclaw's influence in the land of Funonzi comes from its reputation as a strategic stronghold and a frequent checkpoint for travel across the region. Any travelers who seek to traverse the mountains safely would be foolish not to pass through Lionclaw, and House Lionclaw is well aware of this. Because of this, travelers are typically required to explain their reasons for traveling and must pay a small toll to continue their journey. If a traveler cannot pay their toll, they are required to do a small amount of labor in the city to cover their debt.
