Corintes

Built on the site of what once was the city of Heralias, the city of Corintes was founded with the sole purpose of protecting the Calinthian border from southern invasion. A garrison city and a military bulwark right at the border of the Silent Waste, the city is home to the majority of the Duxa Military, who are trained to dedicate their lives as loyal servants of the Empire.

‍As the Corintesian are tasked with the prime objective of defending the northern realm of Tyrrha, the feel one gets of the city is one of stark pragmatism. A place where individual freedom feels as far away as ice is far from fire, an ever-present feeling of wariness presses down on all inside its walls. Surrounded by a gigantic piercing wall of hard yet plane stone, the inner city consists of large black-and-red terminals and factories, rectangular hangars designated for the construction of war machinery, training facilities, and barracks for the accommodation of stationed combatants. Every aspect of life is strictly regimented by the local Magistrati, and the notorious Fist of Txomin - a military caste of Atronis-born humans trained in the martial virtues of the Spirit of War.

‍Outside of the city, a hundred or more watchtowers are manned by Imperial Gunners and Protectors. They wait patiently in utter silence, trained to act on a moment’s notice.
