From M. Zeidrich's Journal, Entry # 3:
~ Little by little an hour finally shortened down to about thirty minutes and we reached the Northern Boundaries of Dragoneir at its Babil Region, neighbor to the Buermecian Region. The terrain was almost kin to our countries' own land, but new and more interesting sites leered on the horizon. To the south lied the mysterious and curious Tower of Babil with its massive Sumerian-type art surrounding the outside of the spire. The aspiring sanctuary was crumbling and aged and leaning to one side. Soon it would probably fall to the ground, but it still held a celestial holiness to its walls. I've heard stories about it, that it was originally a port for ancient airways of the civilization who built it and now a gateway to an unknown land across the waters of the Tantalus Strait in the Parius Ocean, (supposedly the lost capital Arcadia), but the tower stood like a silent sentinel; possible never to reveal the secrets that lie within, for the Babel Mts. would not let that happen?. The ships began to head west for the Buermei Region. And there?! High on an unreachable forested cliff's peak surrounded by streams and woods appeared Dragoneir's superior capital Buermecia. The sun shone like a Goddess behind Tiamat's Palace, and the marble walled city spiraling around the base of the fortress was a spectacle unlike any other, far surpassing the Gothic displeasure of Vangel Castle and Freya! I was entranced by its magnificent beauty, the artists of such fine work really outdone themselves! And to have two of the same castle! It was intense! (For Arcadia also had the exact design for its turret.) Four strong waterfalls pulled downward in motion from the pentacle's top, making misty steam show below with grace. Vangel Castle, (even before the rise of Emperor Ishtar's grimy rule), was only second best to this place! Unfortunately, it might have to be demolished under the strict orders of "His Majesty"?."

~Buermecia~
Buermecia is constantly either windy or rainy, with little snow in the winter and little high heat in the summer. The city is under a constant low pressure front, (since being on the summit of a forested mountain), which allows it to stay at a constant cool/warm tempertature. The sky is a beautiful sight and sunsets are magnificent to observe from Tiamat's Palace. The city's homes and buildings are Romanesque in shape, design and form, but they are inbreeded with machines of all different shapes and sizes for anything from household chores to huge industrial projects. Buermecia is a highly religious, scientific and artistical place, relying alot of its income and jobs on creating and making machanical equipment and their theater, art and music. They accept all and every religion, almost every citizen is quite friendly, open and non-prejudice in any way. Many of the guilds here are for Mechanics, Alchemists, and soldiers wishing to become part of the 2nd largest military faction in the world--the Arcadian Sky Dragoons. Five things Buermecia is well-known for is their commerce, merchantry, and industrialization (Sai Dunkirk, born and raised here, first invented the airship in the city), its magnificent and elaborate Churches of the Four Wind Gods, the Theater Del Arte Masqurade, the gigantic Nature Perservation, and last, but not least, Tiamat's Palace, twin to the sister city Arcadia's Bahamuta Palace.
The Six Districts of Buermecia:
-The Front Gate: Entrance to the City
-The Industrial District: Where the Guilds, Jobs, Schools and work places are located
-The Shopping District: Where the bars, hotels and homes are located
-Tiamat's Palace: Home to Lord Tiamat, it is where all political and military going-ons happen
-The Theater District: Home to the Theater Del Arte Masqurade, the Churches of the Four Wind Gods and where many muesems and music/art schools are located
-The Nature Preserve: Home to many wildlife safety perservation projects, parks and nature trails
-The Slums: This is where the very very poor of Buermecia resides
