Lorell (City)

The city of Roder was the capital of the Jurich Empire. It covered roughly 500 km2 (or 200 mi2) and held over 1 million inhabitants at its height. In 0 AE, in line with the sudden collapse of the Jurich Empire, the city was flattened by an unknown explosion and lie in ruin, untouched by all but the Order of the Sword, for a thousand years until it was reconstructed through powerful dark magic by the Helm's right hand, Alfric Teren.

Shortly after the end of the Jurich Order War, Orik, Regent of Antwerpen, renamed the city to Roder in honor of the fallen hero, Roderick, the founder of Antwerpen. He also moved most operating parts of the government from Antwerpen to Roder, making it the de facto capital of the kingdom, while still leaving the city of Antwerpen as the honorific capital.
