Beandenberg

Beandenberg is the capital city of the Holy Empire of the Beanland. Despite their best efforts, the city's administrators have a difficult time actually keeping the city populated, and as a result more and more villagers from neighboring settlements are regularly "relocated," before somehow meeting their inevitable demise in Beandenberg. How any city could possibly be so uninhabitable is baffling, yet in almost paradoxical fashion, the city continues to be the most thriving, fastest growing, richest city in the realm.

History
The city of Beandenberg was founded in the Summer of 2018 YOB, by Emperor Bean I and his personal confidante, Lord Administrator Dorkus. The historic founding of the city also marks the beginning of recorded Beanish history, as no records of the Empire prior to the city's founding still exist.

According to legend, Emperor Bean I was visited by the Holy Bean in a dream while he was sleeping in the valley where Beandenberg now lies. In his dream, he was blessed by a great vision of a marvelous city, one that would shine as a beacon of faith and civilization throughout the land. When he woke, Emperor Bean I saw this dream as a mandate of heaven, and he tasked Lord Engineer Dorkus with bringing his vision to life.

To mark the land where the city would lie, Lord Dorkus erected the Bean Khalifa at the foot of the Beanish Highlands. Supposedly, Lord Dorkus himself was filled with the spirit of the Bean during this time, and this holy conviction guided him, allowing him to construct a building of tremendous size and spectacle in record time. This building would go on to become the capitol building of the empire in days to come.

Culture
Beandenberg is, in many ways, an enigma. While it is one of the wealthiest and most affluent cities in the realm, it is also one of the most dangerous. The town is regularly plagued by monsters, attacks by extremist cells, and the occasional house fire. Numerous attempts have been made by the city's administration to repopulate the town, but all of these efforts have resulted in the founding of the Beandenberg Mass Grave Site Expansion Program. Despite this, the relocation efforts are still ongoing. As always, the Ministry would like to remind you that no cost is too high for the will of the Emperor, and if he wants citizens, by golly he's gonna have em.

Despite this, Beandenberg continues to be the bustling, thriving center of the empire. Resources such as food, materials, and volatile chemicals are in ample supply, and the agricultural, manufacturing, and tourism industries are some of the best in the empire.

Beandenberg is also the current site of the Ministry, which handles the administration and maintenance of the empire. The city is also home the most powerful mages and alchemists in the realm, and enchanted items and potions are Beandenberg's #1 export.
