HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Ymerodrol City was created on Zygerria by Emperor Tywyll Lew, he was eager to establish a grand imperial city that would be the diamond of his Imperial Order. A city that would garner jealousy and demonstrate the fantastic opportunities that the Imperial Order could grant to those who were unsure of Tywyll's new empire. The city was funded by the Emperor, starting with the Imperial Tower, a location that the Emperor was said to have poured a lot of resources and his own manpower into construction. From there, Emperor Tywyll helped establish the Barracks and Upper City districts, allowing the Imperial council to oversee the Marketplace district and the docks.
The city is imperialistic in its architecture as well as the mindset of the populous. Strict rules are set in place to ensure obedience and conformity. Propaganda is displayed as well as performances given in the city must be Imperial Order approved.
