Thronehold

**Thronehold** is the former capital city of Galifar, located on an island in the middle of Scions Sound. It is a place of international intrigue. It was formerly divided into four districts that are each controlled by one of the surviving Five Nations.

Today, Thronehold is the base operation of the Thronehold Twelve. While the size matches that of a city, it offers no citizenship. When the Thronehold Twelve came to be, the city was reformed into a huge stronghold. Thronehold is now only exclusively accessible by the members of the guild, or some appointed dragonmark house members. Outsiders may access Thronehold by getting a permit from a Dragonmark House, and a dragonmark house member may find it easier to obtain permission than a noble or even royal blood. Only few merchants or business men/women are allowed to stay or visit.

Since Thronehold Twelve was technically created by the twelve dragonmark houses, their offices are scattered throughout the city. Each dragonmark house members that were appointed to stay in Thronehold are respected members of their house. The dragonmark house believes it is very important to have someone they trust inside Thronehold to ensure that any operation the Thronehold Twelve does is within their balanced interest.
