Monsberg is the capital of the Grand Duchy of Monsbergia and its largest city. Home to the imposing Monsberg Fortress.

Major Districts
Perched on a large hill in the middle of the city is Monsberg Castle, a restoration of an ancient fortress standing on the same site. Monsberg Castle is the Ducal residence for the Duke and their family, along with a garrison of guards and servicepeople. Around the base of the hill as a wide encircling promenade, host to homes of prominent figures and public buildings. In fact, much of the city layout has evolved, either by conscious design or pure coincidence, into quadrants separated by the staircases.



Just northeast of the city is a massive quarry producing much of the Union’s stone resources. Stone from Monsberg has been used in construction projects from the Cenotaph of Solum to the Great Elmhol Bridge to Monsberg Fortress itself.

The Jezero Junction has been a meeting place for traders and merchants for centuries, and hosts a large market square next to the harbour. The Market features a variety of local craftspeople and items for sale, from trinkets to weapons and is often host to live travelling musicians and other entertainers. It is also believed by many that this is the site of some blackmarket antique and artifact trading, but it is unknown to the public how to access this part of the market.
