Kolibri
Neue Steiermark: Kolibri
The District of Neue Steiermark is located in north-central Schulmania, along the border of Imperial Mookimia and Mookimian Verà. Today, we visit Kolibri, the capital of Mookimian Verà, and where Queen Vera has one of her two palaces.
Kolibri is the northernmost regional capital in Schulmania. It sits along the northern shore of the Fresca River, the border with Mookimia. The fairly remote location gives it strategic importance for trade and defense. The Strategic Fish Reserve is located just across the river. A military garrison is just west of town, along the road leading to Tenne. Mookimian Verà is not heavily developed and consists mainly of thickly forested rolling hills. Timber and game are the primary sources of income in the hinterland, but valuable ore deposits should encourage more trading outposts. At present, Kolibri is the largest city between Padoha and the subarctic Republic of Leeviousia to the north. It should be an interesting city.
In summer, Kolibri is a leafy northern town. In winter, show is frequent and occasionally harsh.
Kolibri Port is a vital transit connection for The Northlands. Additionally, some 80% of trade between Schulmania and Leeviousia passes through here.
The Veràn Government House occupies Government Square. Creative name, eh? Behind it is the Kolibri Civic Center, housing government offices for the city.
The city church is the Chapel of the Felicitous Feline. The two ornate towers were carved by a pair of famed stonemasons - Jack and Zach Cathead. The brothers also worked on the Veràn Government House's exterior details.
Tidy residential areas offer many amenities for the town's residents
The Viceroyal Palace sits across from the Government House and occupies the north shore of the bend of the Fresca River. Queen Vera has opened the gardens behind the palace as a park for the citizens to enjoy. No wonder she is so beloved!
Cattingham Court has lovely cottages...
The Scratching Post is a combination lighthouse and culture center. The lower levels feature an art museum and the city library. Climb a bunch of stairs and you can get a great view from the top!
Exhausted? Let's stop at a cafe to get a snack. Your treat.
