Francorum
Francorum is a wide, bustling city in the south of ["Jorlinum"]. It sits on the ["River Anarestus"], which has already flown far through Jorlinum, including ["Malberina"] the capital. Even though this river has far to travel yet, it's already becoming wide and slow here.
Through the late 12th century and into the 13th century Francorum's importance to Jorlinum has grown. It has always been on the trade route to ["Mercunum"], but its growing prominence has been fuelled by the expansion of the port of ["Obsecum"], and it lies on the main road south from Malberina. The growth in sea-trade has made this an excellent route for goods to pass to other parts of the former Empire and, especially, on to ["Caldonacia"]. Trade passes through the city by road and by river.
The number of traders of all kinds passing through the city walls has brought a cosmopolitan feel too. Ticetians rub shoulders with Hebrians and Caldonacians. There is even a growing population of Dwarfs here, something that has been uncommon in Imperial kingdoms. The dwarfs have been brought in for their stone-cutting expertise, and here they're especially valued for their understanding of huge quantities of minerals and metals that pass through.
