Mhed/Government Square

Government Square is the situated in the Heart of Mhed, atop a large hill. Here is where the Duke's Palace is located as well as the city library. This place is the center of the ducal bureaucracy and is frequented by all sorts of people. The nobility have their estates here. The large extravagant manors hold not only nobles, but their retainers, scribes, servants etc. Because it is a wealthy district, beggars are commonplace here.

Right in front of the gates to the Duke's Palace is a small public park. In it's center is a monument. The monument had four equestrian statues looking inward at one another, one for each of Mhed's four most recent Dukes, Cedric, Enzeru, Tiridius and Alexius. However, during Black January, Republican soldiers toppled the sculpture of Enzeru. The space remains vacant to be filled by a later Duke. The statues look inward a a large slab on which the laws of the Republic and the Laws of the Duchy are written.

Government Square is where the Sword and Swann Inn is located.

This is second oldest district in the city.
