**The Kingdom of Metallum** (simply referred to as Metallum for short) is one of the two lands in Simul; the other being the Empire of Natura. Its capital is the city of Brassridge and its national river is the Facite River. The flag of Metallum displays different shades of gray, as gray symbolizes most of the popular metals used to build structures in Metallum. The natural flooring of Metallum itself as well is shiny and metallic. Industrials originate from Metallum.

Metallum, unlike Natura, has a currency consisting of coins. The coins themselves are modeled after the official Industrial leagues with going in order:

* Bronze coins (equal to $10-$25 in today's money)
* Silver coins (equal to $40-$50 in today's money)
* Gold coins (equal to $60-$70 in today's money)
* Lapis coins (equal to $95-$100 in today's money)
* Diamond coins (equal to $125-$130 in today's money)

Despite the vanishment of the Lapis Lazuli League, Lapis coins are still crafted and used.

## Cities

### Brassridge (formerly Zurrine)

The capital of Metallum is, in fact, the biggest city in Simul. A whooping estimate of 60% of Industrials live in Brassridge, making this about 700,000 citizens. Brassridge sits on the border right with Natura. Despite this being a downside in times of war due to the enemy being right next to the capital, Brassridge has underground fortresses equipped with lighting, plumbing, and so on.

#### Provinces

Brassridge itself is composed of many areas: suburbs, downtown, and rural outskirts. It is divided into four provinces.

##### Citrinah Jor

The first is Citrinah Jor, also known informally as 'downtown' or the 'city center.' This is the most populated area. Well-known structures in Citrinah Jor include: the Brassridge Council Building, Hillbourn Infirmary, Cobalt Burrow Blacksmith Shop, the Floating Palace, the Boreal Bridge, and the Temple of Metallum. Citrinah Jor is also where the Industrial Scientists reside.

##### Axonite

The second province is known as Axonite. Axonite consists of several half-urban, half-suburban neighborhoods situated just outside Citrinah Jor.

##### Rionne

The third province is called Rionne. Rionne are assorted suburban neighborhoods that are apart of Brassridge, although these neighborhoods are still a distance away from Citrinah Jor.

##### Abinaide

The last province is known as Abaniade. Abinaide is informally known as the 'outskirts' of Brassridge. The Diamond palaces are considered part of Abinaide, as they lie in elevated, steep hills down deserted roads. Some Industrials consider the Steam Fields to be apart of Abinaide. However, the Steam Fields are not marked as officially part of the province due to the fact no Industrials reside there. The neighborhoods surrounding Mt. Lulisc are also considered part of Abinaide.

Brassridge is mostly a flat, static city. This makes Citrinah Jor a downtown uninterrupted by slope terrain. Only Abanaide has any remarks of hills.

## Timeline of early Metallum

* **1000 A.D.**

	+ Primeval Industrials were created out of iron and steel. Armis also created the first Primeval Diamond Industrial out of actual diamond. That Diamond was known as Armina. When the Llana Ocean was created that same year, Primeval Industrials needed to use boats to get around, since the ocean took up most of Metallum.
* **1015 A.D.**
	+ Armis enlisted the Industrial leagues: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Lapis Lazuli, and Diamond, with Metalscales being an unofficial league. Armis built the Floating Palace, created the first vial of liquid fire, set up branding, and announced the first Industrial Scientists. The first Metalscales: Queen Oirah Daito and King Xerion Aeris, were crowned by Armis.
