Kishkumen

Kishkumen is the capital of the United Kingdoms of Urim and Thummim. It is one of the largest cities on the west coast of the continent. Populated mostly by humans and orcs Kiskumin in a meeting place between the humans of the coast and the orcish "lords" of the plains.

Much of the business district was destroyed in the great fire of 1540 S.A., and following that disaster a large influx of immigrants were brought in to rebuild. It is said that Kishkumen was a city of wood before the fire and a city of stone after. It could just as easily be said that it was a city that looked inward before the fire and looked outward after. Some races that were rare outside the city became relatively common inside the city as some of the outer planes were rocked by the war of binding at the same time space and work was available after the fire.

Factions

The city has a number of factions operating within it. The most obvious is the town watch; a semi official organization whose primary mission is to keep the nobles safe, and the riffraff out of the high city. While they bill themselves as the upholder of laws and the protector of the city if it happens outside the main gate or the high city it doesn't concern them. When they do make their presence felt in the low city it is usually at the urging of a high ranking member of the city who has run afoul of one of the more powerful factions and is seeking retribution.
