Parantum

The third is Parantum, situated on the so-called 'Sun's Plate' in the centre of the Holy Empire's territory. It is the hub for food and grain production for most of the other cities, and its sphere of influence is the largest of the six capitals, containing over half a dozen smaller satellite towns. Parantum's farmers are famous for the sheer volume of food they produce, and it is not quite known how it is down.

Sovereignty
Known for his relaxed attitude, Arch Herald Beesuul defers much of his power to the Church Fathers and Mothers of the towns, and the city of Parantum. He represents them when he meets with the Empress, but otherwise does very little involved with his city and holding.

Laws
The strictness on heresy varies greatly between regions of the Sun's Plate. In Parantum itself, it is quite strict, with punishments scaling from a jail sentence to execution, depending on the severity of the heresy, whereas in smaller towns such as Goldlark, one might even get away with a little bit of heresy.
