Culture
Eredan is a bustling port city and a large part of the city is a trade district, trade and money play an important part in Eredan culture and contribute to the reason it is the richest city in Tyrrus.

Technically Queen Victoriana Dragoncrest III rules Eredan though she actually has very little power and acts more as a figurehead. The Eredan Merchant Council does most of the running of the city itself and plays an important part in the politics of Tyrrus. Powerful "Houses" run individual parts of the city, the House of Gold deals with economical things, houses the Merchant Council and acts as the city's major bank. The House of Fish deals with food and fishery as well as food trading. The House of Wine deals with alcohol and drink, runs the city taverns and runs wine trading. The House of Music is in charge of the rich entertainment culture within Eredan and is mostly run by the Decker Corporation and Ronathon Decker.

The Tournament Grounds outside Eredan hosts annual tournaments of joust, melee, archery and magic, the most famous and tragic of these being the Grand Tournament of 2015.

Castle Eredan
When Castle Eredan was built in 1043 it was originally supposed to be a fort on the Whitebay to give the Empire of Eredalla a naval presence and a way to claim some of the bay from the White Kingdom. But villages and towns began to sprout around the castle, prospering from the rich fishing industry, eventually growing into the city of Eredan. The castle is quite large and once stood proud and defensive. However years of ruin and lack of maintenance have left it a crumbling ruin. In 1560 Dragoncrest Manor was built within the walls of the castle to replace the old keep, this building is more luxurious than defensive and houses the Royal Family of Eredan.
