Duragrad

Overview
Duragrad is the capital of the Egalitarian Commonwealth of Palaris (ECP), formerly the UBSR. It is located in the formerly UBSR province of Burgamere.

History
Duragrad was formed by the survivors of the Great Cataclysm, an event that destroyed the old Burgamerian mining town. The early days of the settlement were filled with issues, such as sub-zero temperatures and icy winds; these issues led the townsfolk, using their salvaged mining equipment, to dig a massive hole into the soil of the icy wasteland and form a town there. When this was finished, this hole provided enough shelter for the survivors to build a city with thriving industry that provided enough heat to keep the city warm. The city was promptly named Duragrad after the tested durability of its inhabitants.

Landmarks
The architecture of Duragrad is a combination of retrofuturism and victorianism. Notable landmarks include: the Public Works building, which holds the conference room and the People's Brewing Center; the People's Mining Center, the ECP Immigration Center, and the Three Pits.
