Verity

Verity is the capital and largest city in The Empire, with a population in the tens-of-thousands. It is centred around the palace of the emperor, which is constructed around The Ark. The Academy is built up against the palace in order to be close to The Ark. Other notable buildings include the Caltess Fight-Hall, Harriton Prison, and the cathedral of the High Priest of the Ancestor Church. The convent of Sweet Mercy is located on a rocky plateau some five miles to the west of Verity.
