Rimso (Mescon: Rimsø, Gaullican: Rims), officially the Free City of Rimso (Mescon: Gratis byen Rimsø) is the capital and largest city of the Kingdom of Scovern, as well as the fifth-largest city in the Euclean Community by metropolitan population. Rimso is also the capital of the Kingdom of Mesconia, a constituent nation of Scovern and one of its three federal entities. Rimso sits on the tributary of the River Elling and its centre lies on Markesø, an island formed by the Elling's fork and confluence, where much of its medieval architecture still remains standing.
Archaeological evidence suggests Rimso was first settled in the 10th century by the marauder population of the Sixtenite Kingdom. After the kingdom's fall and the end of the Marauder Age, Rimso became one of many mercantile city-states that emerged across Scovern, but its geographic position on the Strait of as well as its natural harbour in Markesø allowed it to prosper with trade from the Rudolphine Confederation and North Euclea at large.
