Silver Citadel

The Silver Citadel was the Capital of the Silver Coalition and the successor nation of |The Sterling Crownlands. Established on a large plain on the road linking Sovdal and Paludis, it acted as the administrative capital of the Silver Coalition prior to its dissolution. The Citadel was constructed by the Sterling Crowlands petty King for Northernfish, mimtipp, with support from all member-nations.

Battle of the Silver Citadel
Soon after the proclamation of the Sterling Crownlands, a world wide war broke out, known to the north as the Trillium War. It was heard by Avreham Basha (StarSixSeven) that the forces of Yimmu-Audal, of which declared war against the Trillium Alliance, was headed to the Crownlands Capital. The king armed various former citizens of Noxnnor for the coming conflict, but was unaware that Noxnnor's ruler, Dark Saigard had made a secret alliance with the Empress of Yimmu-Audal, Carpicious. When the Empress challenged the idea that the Crownlands were as unified as Avreham Basha believed, he handed the Silver Crown to the high priest of Noxism, to show that the unity of the country relied not on the crown, but on the king that led it.

But with a swift command from the Empress, the Noxnorrian people revolted, and in the process despite the kingsguard, the first High Silver King Avreham Basha was slain in the citadel. The battle was decided to be a victory for Yimmu-Audal and the Noxnorrian rebels. With their victory, the ruler of Noxnnor, Dark Saigard was crowned High Silver King by another named Kiwi, and soon after it was announced that the Sterling Crownlands would depart the Trillium Alliance; they would join the Coalition alongside Yimmu-Audal. A kingsguard, primarily an individual by the name of TNTPiggles, recounted the moments of Avreham's assassination. While prepared to slay Dark Saigard while being crowned in the Citadel, he stayed his hands, leaving bloodshed for another day. These events would lead to another great battle in the SCs history, the Battle of Urnu-Arrak.

At the time, it was said that the blood of Avreham, soaked and stained the grounds of the Noxist Temple within the Citadel.
