Erstbuch

Erstbuch Overview
Also known as the "Imperial City" Erstbuch is the capital city of Litrastelia and home of the Imperial Family. Erstbuch was founded sometime near the end of the first era. It was a port city of the Heit tribe but became prominent during the Litric-Miran War. It became the main command center for the Heit Guerillas. Once the 3 tribes united it was agreed that all operations were to be carried out there. As the war went on it withstood a siege which was a crushing blow for the invading Miran forces. The Miran retreat rallied all of the Litrastelians. Due to it's significance in uniting the Litric tribes the 3 warchiefs agreed that it should serve as the new nations capital. The city grew from a 30,000 people to one of the worlds largest cities with a population of 238,000. Emperor Maud resides in Erstbuch in the Imperial Palace. Erstbuch is the most populated city in Litrastelia. It also serves as the Economic center of the country. Erstbuch is located on the Ostaudt bay.

The Imperial Port
The Docks in Erstbuch are a grand creation. When Solveig, the First Emperor of Litrastelia saw the terrible shape of the docks in Erstbuch he demanded they be destroyed and recreated from the ground up. The Erstbuchen docks serve as Litrastelias naval headquarters. Over 15 warships are docked. On top of that is the Litrastelian Whaling fleet. Over 30 whaling ships are docked in the Erstbuchen port.

The Imperial Palace
The Imperial Palace was built shortly after the Miran retreated from Litrastelia. It was to commemorate all those who helped unite the Litric tribes and to serve as the seat of the the emperor. The Government is from the palace and has a garrison of 500 guards. The walls are made of concrete and are well designed that it would take a massive siege army to destroy it. The palace itself was built on nearby cliffs that dominate much of the Ostaudt coastline.
