Godrius (City)

Godrius is the capital and largest city of Sunshire on the continent of Amara. The city stands on the River Ulys in central Sunshire. Godrius was founded in Y125 DC and eponymously named after the first King of Sunshire, Godrius who was also the first to unite the various independent human city-states into one nation. Godrius as a whole is divided into two, the Inner-City and Outskirts. The two are split by a thick stone wall that surrounds the Inner-City. The wall encircles the area perfectly, with Godrius Keep at the perfect centre. The inner-city has a diameter of three miles, and the Outskirts then stretch out from the wall for another mile until the land gently changes to farmland.

Godrius is considered to be one of the most important cities on the continent, as is often seen as a central trade hub between Sunshire, Farholme, Vel'oran, and even some small organisations in Orukonus. Due to this, Godrius often exerts a considerable impact on the continent in trade, with the Kingdom benefitting from trade taxes in the city. Godrius is a wealthy city, with a higher number of noble families than any other settlement in Sunshire by a factor of 6. Based on a census carried out in Y300 DC, Godrius has a population of roughly 115,000 people, an estimated 89% of that being Human, with 76% living with the Inner-City. This makes Godrius the fourth-most populous city on the continent, behind Kordukrom, Essinore, and Vevristforth.

Godrius has many points of interest and important buildings within it's Inner-City, including Godrius Keep, The Arcanium, Godrius Cathedral, The National Gallery, The Museum of Sunshire, and The Explorer's League. Godrius also houses many of the dominant Sunshirian craftsmen guilds, including The Worshipful Company of Bowyers of Godrius, The Guild of Forgers, The Tanner's Society, and The Carpenter's League.
