Kossuth

Kossuth, officially the Imperial Capital of Kossuth is the capital and largest city of The Empire. The city is located in the Imperial Province of Kossuth within the Imperial Center Region. Kossuth is named after the legendary Meridian King, the second Millenary King, as the Pilgrimage of the Snout ends within Kossuth where the Meridian King is said to have died in battle. The original name of the city was "New Balatonok" by the Veszprem but was rejected overall by the Jeno Coalition, which had built and administrated the city. Kossuth was declared the capital of the Empire during the Union of the Empire. Despite being the namesake of the Imperial Province of Kossuth, it is not the provincial capital of Kossuth.

Kossuth as a location has existed since the Eight Kings Era during the Wolf Dominion, under the name of Szarvas where a group of docile trader wolves lived, under which the Meridian King was born from. The Seventh King, Amadeus, destroyed Szarvas and later rebuilt it Temetőhegy. After the end of the Wolf Dominion and the beginning of the Canine Tribal Era, Kossuth was the origin of the Jeno, who coalesced the remaining other smaller and docile dog tribes under the banner of the Central Coalition against the Hoditok Queendom. During the Hoditok Conquest, Kossuth was considered to be one of the forefront cities that the Hoditok needed to take. The city was 64% destroyed in the Siege of Kossuth, but was rebuilt after the end of the Conquest. Kossuth was later chosen to host the Congress of the Birodalom, which formed the Union of the Empire.

Kossuth is the home of the Emperor's Palace, the Imperial Senate Building, the Polgarsag High Court and the Temple of Omens. Alongside this, it contains the Statue of the Snout, which is considered to be the gravestone of the Meridian King. The Temple of Omens holds the Reliquary of Kossuth, the largest Reliquary within the Empire housing over 400 different relics gathered from the Eight Kings, the Millenary Kings and the Seven Apostles & Nineteen Disciples. Alongside this, Kossuth sits geographically at the center of the country, making it a frequent stop for travelers. The Imperial Interregional Traderoutes Meridius II, Meridius III, and Aurorus IV, and Vesperius II all run through Kossuth.
