Merrit City

Merrit City is the Capital of Welidia, and home of Queen Lindas Feathermoore.

Founding
Merrit City was founded by King Francis Waltz in 3,150 AC, being one of the first cities to be built after The Dark Age. The small city state quickly grew into the Welidian Empire and Merrit city served as the Capital.

Under Shadowmoore Rule
In 3,234 AC Merrit city, the last stronghold of Welidia, was conquered by the Shadowmoore Empire. The city still served as the capital of the Welidian province, but had little to no power due to the strong central governing of the Shadowmoore Empire. The lack of control led to many riots and revolts in the city. One of the revolts led to the first Caldaran War.

Return to Independence.
After the Second Caldaran War, the Kingdom of Welidia was once again an independent Kingdom and Merrit City was it's capital, as it was before. The City flourished from it's massive ports, built during Shadowmoore occupation. This helped make Welidia the most powerful Kingdom in the Caldaran Pact.

Criminal Underworld
Along with Merrit's City's thriving economy is a thriving criminal industry. Crime is so bad in some parts of the town that gangs have bought out the city guards to not patrol certain parts of the city, leaving completely under their control.
