Goltarm

The smallest is Goltarm in the South, bordering the Kingdom of Nerthelm and the sea. It is the home of the Holy Empire's navy which, though nothing compared to its land armies, can still hold its own against the navies of the other nations on the continent. Because of its position, sea trade is less important for the Holy Empire, so Goltarm, as the hub of sea trade for the Holy Empire, is relatively neglected. Nonetheless, the city has seen a sizeable increase in its military garrison after relations with the Kingdom of Nerthelm became strained.

Sovereignty
Goltarm is led by the youngest Arch Herald, Arch Herald Fowrith, who is ambitious and dynamic, working hard to improve the lives of those who live beneath her. However, her lack of experience shows and at times she struggles to control the influential nobility of Goltarm.

Laws
Though Sarenrae is the chief religion in Goltarm, heavy influence by the former Kingdom of Hartgard has led to churches to other Gods being established in Goltarm, in particular Iomedae. Even the faithless are allowed to wander the streets. As such, only heresy of the most extreme is punishable, but where it exists it is snuffed out swiftly and without remorse.

Towns

 * Toren's Wall, a town built into the side of a cliff face that stretches for miles, overlooking the Kingdom of Nerthelm's lands.
 * Temperwater Docks, a secondary port to Goltarm's own. The largest drydock in the Holy Empire is there.
