The vast city of Camlin is the capital of Durkin, and is home of the leader of the constitutional monarchy. Regional Viceroys are responsible for the governance of their cities and surrounding lands, but all have a duty (and pay taxes to) the king. The city of 80,000 souls is clean, well-organized, and well-defended.
The River Roan flows through, spanned by several handsome bridges.
The upper class lives on a hill in the middle of town with the middle class on the lower hill.
Little towers 20-50 miles out from the city are staffed with troopers who watch for major threats. Rangers ride between them, and within that broad perimeter, the crops that feed the population stretch for miles.
The towers have flags - a gold lion on a blue field.
Rumors
It was rumored that in an early Superheroes campaign Camlin may have been a victim of a mind-flayer siege beneath the city.
