Amulet City

Amulet City is the capital of The Gnomelands. It has a population of roughly 90,000. Amulet City is a place of political turmoil, with five individual factions struggling endlessly to gain control of the city, and the rest of the Gnomelands as a consequence.

Early Trading Posts
Due to it's central location within the Aamagon Desert, the earliest settlements in the area can be traced back as far as 2,500 years ago, to outposts and a small trading village.

The Church of the Star
Around 30-40 DC, the Church of the Star was formally recognised in the Gnomelands. Whilst this religion had existed for many centuries, it had not universally been adopted by the whole of the Gnomelands, but now was. The church recognised the worship of Inkadanis, the progenitor of the gnomes thousands of years ago, whose symbol is a golden star over a light brown background, typically styled as a brushmark.

House of the Gnomelands
Whilst a central administration body had continuously governed Amulet City since ~200BDC after the fall of the previous monarchy, it had not co-ordinated itself into one regime nor given itself a name that could be given to foreign countries. Led by Prime Minister Thundrel Aa'Mon, the House of the Gnomelands was formally established by decree in 35DC.

House of the Gnomelands Government
The House of the Gnomelands Government is the de jure body of leadership of Amulet City and the Gnomelands. It however is not seen as such in the public eye, though mostly maintains it's authority through military control.

The Yarrow University
The Yarrow University is a faction dedicated to the study of history, geography, and magical power.

The Church of the Star
The Church of the Star is an openly-criminal organisation dedicated to the control and ownership of crime throughout the city. It is immensely corrupt, and some high-ranking members are even considered as public figures.

The Merchant's Guild of Amulet City
The Merchant's Guild of Amulet City is a conglomerate of powerful merchants and tradesman that control the major, and most minor, trade routes in and out of Amulet City.

Whistle Legion
The Whistle Legion is a large paramilitary organisation made from mercenaries, bounty hunters, and ex-soldiers. It is founded on the sole-interest of dominance and takeover of Amulet City to restore order and peace.
