Heonnhiem

## **City Description**

The town of **Hoennhiem** may be small but it has enough going on in it to rival a city. To begin with, its the only known place in the empire that can create Sapphire Steel. A metal found in the hills that has innate arcane properties. When infused right it can create an assortment of things, however as of right now its almost exclusively used for creating/ further enchant magical weapons and armor for the empire. Sapphire Steel also led many scholars to this location to study and use it in a number of different experiments and as a result the UIMM (The United Imperial Ministry of Magi) built its own collage here, overtime its made quote the name for itself becoming a specialist and possibly the leading collage for Transmutation and Enchantment.

There is also the Chantry of the Maideness, an order of priestess's who give up all but their name in dedication to the once mysterious heroine who apparently once saved the town from war and possibly even total destruction.

### **Geography**

The town of Heonnhiem is in the south eastern region of Ceevilian Empire. It situated in between 4 once powerful kingdoms however now all are under the banner of the empire. The town lies south of the capital Pyramidia and north to the barron land of Scorchers Gulch. The dwarven city and stronghold Thundenweld are to the mountains to the east, and the growing reclusive city of Redwood to the west. There are other very small villages scattered all around however nearly all trade is with the cities to the north, east and west.
