Balcheburg

**Balcheburg**ArchitectureHistoryRelationships

**Balcheburg** is the capital of viscount Balchesse's territory. It is located next to the tunnel entrance of the Boundary Mountain Range, and is thus the town closest to Talosheim.

## Economy

In the Second Talosheim Expedition counterattack, the following goods was discovered in the cultivated lands of Balcheburg: wheat, foxtail and barnyard millet, soba, soy beans, adzuki beans, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, daikon and onions.

## History

The exiled Bugogan found a path across the Boundary Mountain Range, and ended up coming out near the devil's nest near Balcheburg. After being threathened by the dhampir, Luciliano migrated from Balcheburg to the Orbaume Kingdom.

Viscount Balchesse's family had started the cultivation project, by reclaiming the devil's nest where Zadiris' village was and turning it into cultivated land. Many noblemen had been interested in the project, including the Palpapek family of earls, so the viscount received significant financial assistance from the nation.

### Second Invasion of Talosheim

*Main article: Second Talosheim Expedition*
When the expedition army led by Gordan and Riley was defeated, Vandalieu sent them back home as a force of 1000 zombies to march on Balcheburg. Due to the zombies' slow progress, the town had time to successfully evacuate the inhabitants of the cultivated land. Soldiers and adventurers were recruited, gathering the nation's elite soldiers as Balcheburg's guards, and organized into an extermination force, who successfully destroyed the undead army, in a fierce battle to defend the town. The spirits that had been inside the undead expedition army that attacked Balcheburg would spend over 4 months to return.

They burnt the corpses to prevent the spread of diseases, however there had been some Poison Zombies among the enemies, so a mage was hired to inspect the land. Unfortunately, all the dirt in the fields, the water resevoirs and aqueducts were polluted with lethal poison, rendering them unusable. "Purifying this poison was so difficult that even a renowned master of the mages' guild had said it was hopeless, and leaving it to degrade naturally would take decades or even a century. The same applied to every village in the cultivated land. There was no way that the cultivation project could continue."

The halt of his cultivation project caused the viscount Balchesse economic problems. Fortunately for him, the Amid Empire has begun the construction of a fort overlooking the Boundary Mountain Range. Berno's descendants will likely be severely troubled by the fort's existence, but Berno will be praised as a benevolent lord who successfully defended Balcheburg and the fact that it recovered economically.
