Bremotte

Bremotte is the capital of Luvania. It is located where Skilania runs out of Tilind's Mirror. Bremotte used to be a Luvian citystate.

History


It is likely that the Pegomians had a settlement in the area, and that the Luvians conquered the settlement when they migrated to the area during the Ice Age.

For several hundred years Bremotte was a Luvian citystate. In the middle of the 500's, however, The Skilamrilusian Empire came in conflict with the southern Luvians. After conquering the citystate of Luvia in 569 after the Second Luvian War, The Skilamrilusian Empire turned it's attention northwards. In 575 the Third Luvian War broke out between Bremotte and The Skilamrilusian Empire. Several of other Luvian citystates supported Bremotte in fear of being conquered one by one. In 578 a unified army of Luvians (including: Bremotte, Kasilo, Krommel and rebels from the already conquered Luvia) met an army from The Skilamrilusian Empire by the river Stream of Tears. The battle is known as The Battle of Tears, because the Luvians were defeated and lost all hope of resisting The Skilamrilusian Empire. In 590 the Third Luvian War ends as all of the western Luvians were conquered. Together they made up the new province of Luvania. Bremotte was decided to be the capital of the province.

Ever since, Bremotte have been a wealthy city. Trade have boomed because of it's location at the entrance of the river Skilania.

In 996 the city was assulted by a fleet of people from Norden, during The Assult of Bremotte. This resulted in a major fire in the norther harbor-area.

Bremotte is located on the south-western shores of Tilind's Mirror, as well as on both sides of the river Skilania- which runs from east to west trought the city. The city is connected at two places: one bridge in the east, and one island in the west- who have one bridge from the southern side to it, and two bridges from it to the northern side.

The major harbour area is located at the north-eastern part of the city by the lake. There there are several large commercial Piers. The entrance to the harbour area is shielded by a wall going from land and from island to island. Only at one point there is a opening, and that is next to the citadel. The citadel is located on the south-eastern part, and half of it is located on an island. The wealthy areas of the city lies on the southern side of the river, since this is closer to the citadel. The poorest communities are loceted in the north-western part of the city.
