Orleans

The capital of Aurelis is Orleans, a beautiful city with a large population and a giant castle that is well built. It is a prime example of the masterful Aurelian architectectural style. The city is enclosed with walls of Granite, and the country's green banner is sported from the housetops earning the city its nickname: Cité D'émeraude (The Emerald City). In the very heart of the city is the royal palace, which has giant green stained-glass windows.

The Siene River
The Siene river passes through the city, dividing it into northern and lower Orleans. The river brings trade into the city and clean water as well. The river starts out from a lake called Paluche, nestled on Aurelis's only true mountain: Mt. Fantaine. The river flows a short way from the mountain into Orleans. After leaving the city, the Siene winds its way slowly out to sea.

Where Orleans's sourounding walls intersect the river 2 large bridges with ornate gates control incoming and outcoming traffic. These two bridges are costly to maintain, but are in good maitenance anyways.
