Stromberg The great and golden crown of the Duelist Kingdom, and it's capital city. A large, bustling metropolis, surrounding the large golden castle in its center, and surrounded itself with large walls, to protect the people from the wilderness. The city prides itself on being the greatest city in the Duel World (though many other cities will disagree). It attempts to attract Duelists far and wide, hosting various competitive tournaments, as well as housing the Duelists Guild. Of course, many non duelists come to the great city to seek their own fortune, resulting in the city having a thriving economy. In the center of the city sits the great Golden Castle of Stromberg, home of the royal family. The royals boast that its walls have never been breeched, and the citizens look upon it as a symbol of their glory. Outsiders on the other hand see it as a symbol of arrogance. Population As a large, bustling metropolis, Stromberg boasts quite a large population, roughly 270,000. The population is predominately human or Humanoid, though some of the more bestial races have found a place within its walls. Due to its metropolitan nature, it's not unusual to find members of any race in the city, whether visitor or resident. Government The Stromberg Royal Family rules over the city, along with the Duelist Kingdom as a whole (with the exception of Endymon). The current king, Rykhard Stromberg, is a stern, but fair ruler, and said to be a highly skilled duelist. His daughter, the crown princess, is well loved by the people due to her kind nature. Factions & Organizations The Golden Guard The royal guard of Stromberg. The finest warriors in the city are chosen, along with the best duelists in the area, often pulled from the Duelists Guild. They answer directly to King Rykard, and while their primary objective is to protect Stromberg and the royal family, it is not unusual for members to be sent outside the city for important missions. The Duelists Guild A collective of the various duelists throughout the Duelist Kingdom, and ultimate seek to recruit them from all the Duel World. Whether these duelists seek glory, or to adventure, or any other goal, the Duelists Guild wants them on their roster. An interesting note is that the guild itself doesn't seem to have any overarching overarching goals itself. It more seems interested on earning prestige from having said duelists on its roster. Relations Stromberg has a small rivalry with the Endymion Citadel, with both leaders of the two cities often butting heads and claiming themselves superior. That being said, this is more a matter of pride at most, and any sort of conflict between the two is unlikely. Stromberg is cordial, if not a little patronizing towards the other settlements of the Duel World. Thry, in turn, tend to just shrug this arrogance off, or simply roll their eyes at it, but otherwise keep things civil. At least Stromberg has the sense to be respectful towards the divine entities of the Sanctuary of the Sky and Valhalla. There is absolutely no love lost between Stromberg and Dark World. Those from Dark World are treated with mistrust at best, and outright hostility at worst. Tragically, this disdain even extends to Dark Land. Their views of the Outer Worlds are mixed. They're intrigued by the different culture of Dark City, while the ominous mysteries of A Space concern them. Toon World is outright treated with caution, with people to give any toon a wide birth and generally try to avoid dealing with them. |
