The strategically placed capital of Verden lies within its smallest central region. The city itself was built by a long - gone species before being discovered by elves and werewolves centuries ago. Made up of stone pyramids, it is composed of a central ring and five arms around it. The central ring is the most immaculate, with graceful obelisks and parks. It is where the council resides as well as the home of various racial embassies and wealthy residents. Council meetings are convened in the great central pyramid. The five arms make up the residential and commercial districts and are composed of lower- and middle-class residents. Atma is surrounded by dark forest and mountains on two sides that invading armies struggle to navigate.
