Holsord

Holsord is the vibrant capital city of Sordland, known for its significant political, cultural, and educational institutions. The city's central hub is Capitol Park, a large recreational area surrounded by numerous key landmarks. Among these is the Presidential Palace, a towering architectural structure that stands out prominently in the cityscape, and the Grand National Assembly, a pivotal venue where representatives convene to discuss and enact legislation. The city center is notable for its concentration of governmental institutions such as the Supreme Court and the Ministry of Justice. The presence of these institutions lends Holsord a distinct political atmosphere, with individuals involved in bureaucracy, politics, military, and academics frequently seen in the city's streets. Holsord is also known for its thriving educational landscape, particularly on the eastern side of the city. Here, one finds the Holsord State University, Kingshill University, and the Imperial Markian University, collectively known as 'The League of the Trident'. These universities are among the country's most prestigious educational institutions. However, the city's administrative presence is balanced by a significant military presence. The Ministry of Defense and the expansive 'Camp Strongarm' are also located here, housing the largest military contingent within a city in the country. The camp is home to the elite 101st, 102nd, and 103rd Presidential Guard Divisions, which form part of the 1st Army. This marks a shift from the city's past, when military forces were decentralized and not permitted within the capital. People from all over Sordland are drawn to Holsord in pursuit of better opportunities, contributing to the city's dynamic social fabric. The city is a microcosm of the country, presenting a juxtaposition of understanding and ignorance, wealth and poverty, power and weakness, reflecting the diverse realities of its inhabitants.
