Northern cities of Mebelands

This remote region, also referred to as Old Mebelands, boasts ancient cities, some of which have buildings dating back over a thousand years. The oldest among them is the Academy of Mebelands in Vieledorf. The Fliss River, meandering through this land, eventually joins the Darsee Lake before flowing into the ocean via Sehafen, which is situated in the wetlands. Further upstream, amidst the mountains, lie numerous ruins even older than the cities and mostly explored. Those daring enough to venture there should be prepared to face various dangers, including moleogres and spidermonkeys among others. This proximity to the ruins that connect underground is one of the reasons behind the militaristic tendencies prevalent in Northern Mebelands, where inhabitants are well-versed in combat, producing skilled archers and swordsmen.

Although Gottingen, the largest city in the region, serves as the primary connection to the central Mebelands, its residents are largely self-sufficient, requiring little more than what they already have. Trade is minimal, with only a few merchants visiting for supplies, often making stops at the Steinthafen port. Weapons made in Northern Mebelands are considered to be of excellent quality, possibly rivaled only by those forged by Morozian smiths.

These cities have a consistent appearance, with many featuring central castles, outer baileys, and distinct residential or commercial zones, each encircled by its own protective walls. Beyond these city walls lie fields and farms, with Lingenstadt standing out as the city with the most extensive agriculture. Tenement-filled cities are frequently adorned with coats of arms and other heraldic elements, transforming many buildings into small works of art in their own right. It seems that citizens of Old Mebelands enjoy killing the mistborn creatures to an extent that many cities have sewage weapons to fend them off. This also provides means to deter your neighbour from attacking.
