Königsreh (Hesurian: [ˈkøːnɪçsˌreh]; lit. King's Deer), is the capital and second largest city of Mascylla. It is populated by 3,231,326 (2017) inhabitants, which makes it one of the most populous city propers in Erdara after Krasno, Rakonitz and Flussmund. The city and its surrounding adjacent villages is one of Mascylla's 18 principalities, the Kronlande, and it is surrounded by the states of Eystrun, Folnery and Shwesia. Together it forms with Flussmund up north the largest metropolitan area in the country.

A global city and hub according to the Newcott World Cities Index, Königsreh is described as one of the world capitals of culture, finance, and media, and exerts a significant force upon commerce, entertainment, art, fashion, sports, technology and research, education, politics, and tourism. Home to the headquarters of the Assembly of Nations, Königsreh is an important center for international diplomacy.

The city lies on the banks of the River Blaugold, which flows through the city centre towards the Mask Sea. Königsreh's main topographical topographical features are the many smaller lagoons and lakes in the western and southern boroughs, all leading to the Blaugold, the largest of which is the Weider River. Due to its location in the Great Mascyllary Plain, Königsreh receives a temperate seasonal climate. Nearly one-third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks, rivers, canals, and lakes.

First mentioned in a road map of the 15th century and situated at the crossing of two important trade routes, the village in the past known as Schwülpt, became a minor political location and population centre. Its major importance was archieved through the foundation of the city of Königsreh by King Lukas I himself, after the construction of a national capital required a suitable location. Königsreh quickly evolved into a large metropolitan area, the fourth largest one in Erdara in the 1920s. The city served as the capital of the Mascyllary Kingdom (1793-1923), the May Republic (1923-1924), and the Crowned Republic of Mascylla until today.

Königsreh is an internationally recognized city of culture, politics, sciences, and general media. Its economy is based on high-tech start-ups and the service sector, encompassing a diverse set of innovative industries, research facilities, media corporations and scientific centres.

As the Mascyllary capital

The Reichsrat building, seat of the Mascyllary Reichsrat since 1804
Kronenrat building, seat of the Kronenrat and Prime Minister of Mascylla

The Reichssenat of the Mascyllary Kingdom decided in 1794, one year after the unification of Mascylla, in the so called "Capital Order" (Hauptstadtbeschluss) that a newly erected city as the capital would house the Reichssenat and the Reichsrat as well as the Government of Mascylla. Therefore Langquaid was relinquished of the title of capital city and Königsreh determined as the new seat of government.

Since 1800 the Monarch maintains his or her seat in the Hochkronstein palace in Königsreh. Subsequently in 1803, most of the government and authorities relocated from Langquaid to Königsreh. The Reichsrat, Reichssenat and Mascyllary government have since then begun operating in the Mascyllary capital. In 1810 the new Kronenrat building was inaugurated and first obtained by Prime Minister wilhelm Stenreck. Other government buildings were erected between 1810 and 1813; the latest government agency to relocate to Königsreh was the DSA after its new headquarters was erected in 2015. All 16 ministries and agencies of the Kronenrat have their mean seat in Königsreh, but also operate secondary seats in Langquaid. Most of its government official releases (Reichsgesetzschrift) and statements (Reichsankündigungen) are still being released in the other city to this day, and no high court is located in Königsreh, but in Augusthal, Langquaid and Lehpold.
