Dawn's Edge

Dawn's Edge is the capital city of Gideon. It is famously known for being the first fort and then castle built by Alek Brighton after he commuted to Siladia. Over the years Dawn's Edge has gotten bigger, with now three layers of wall extending out from what was once the original fort. Currently it is ruled by House Brighton.

History
After crossing the Lichen Waste Alek an his band wintered in a small fort that is now known as Alek's Vinyard. After the light winter was over, they made their way to a verdant hill land. This hill land became the first town in Siladia and eventually the castle of Dawn's Edge.

Over the years there have been two major upgrades to the castle; taking it from a fort, to a small keep, to a full scale castle. This can be referenced by the three major walls, which separate the city into it's three major districts.

During the Great War, the town was laid siege to by a number of groups including House Byron and the Omoron Dominion. This left the city in great devestation, most of which has been rebuilt. One section of the city still remains as a memorial, called the Black Monument. After the death of the last Brighton heir, the city was the host of a conclave of Midvale historians and representatives from the Church of Pelor who sorted out the line of succession. The decision was made that the humble House Brighton ascend to the throne, and the ancestral sword "Dawn's Edge" was retired in the courtyard since.

Economy
Dawn's Edge has a robust market economy, mostly contained in the merchant district between the court and the commons. Though many products can be found in the Dawn's Edge market, it is not nearly as large as the Seavault or some of the cities in Omoron. Most of the individuals living in the merchant district or court district has abundant wealth. Principal agriculture produced in the region includes wheat, barley, chicken, vegetables, wool, and mutton.
