Hemstad

Hemstad is a city situated in Hemland, along the South Eastern coast of the Continent. It is also Hemland's capital

History
When Första Ovan first united the people that would then make up the Hemmish tribe, she tried to get them all to live in one place. Although this plan failed, the city was born and a few people lived there.

Later, when Armen Ovan united the tribes successfully to the country of Hemland, he attempted to achieve Första's goals, and succeeded. The population of Hemstad boomed and its economy prospered. It was not much later that it was pronounced as capital of the country.

Famous/Important Buildings
Famous/Important buildings in Hemstad include:

The Royal Palace, nicknamed "The Eye"
Political affairs are handeled in this building. Councils, audiences but also royal weddings take place here. It got its nickname because of the enormous, round window at the front, through which the Ledar can see the city.

The Church
The first church of Ravism. The royal tombs are located here too.

Hemstad College
One of the first known schools, if not the actual first. Pengar elite come to study here, hence only the very rich can afford to study here. The building has 5 classrooms, a garden, astronomy tower and a dining hall. The main courses one can follow are language or social ones, although all are possible as long as you find a teacher.

Library
Shortly after the construction of the college, there was a high demand for a library, and so one was built. In it is gathered knowledge from Hemland and even beyond its borders. There is also a map of the entire Hemland area and a small garden. It has become a meeting place for Pengar elite.

Hemstad Harbour Tower
A small tower was built during the construction of Hemstad's first port. It really serves no other purpose but signalling ships with its dim light and welcoming them with the Hemland flag that is placed on top of it. It is considered a monument dedicated to the Hemlanders "conquering the sea".
