Local Geography

Perugia: (25,000) Built on a high hill overlooking the Tiber, Perugia is the capitol of Umbria. Monuments of the Etruscans can be found all over the city, named Phersna or Pieresa by the Etruscans. Perugia as the most eastern city of the Dodecopolis not only held out against the Romans until 309 BC, but was also a great city of art and ideas. Named Perusia by the Romans, the city never lost its Etruscan heiritage and revolted against the Romans several times. Since the Romans, the city has been conquered by the Visigoths and the Lombards, finally establishing a neutral position against the other Italian city-states. The city is currently ruled by Count Baglioni and Baron Oddi. The Diocese of Perugia is lead by Bishop Puchi, part of the Archdiocese of Rome, lead by Archbishop Vecchio.

Gubbio: (12,000) A tough mountain city exemplifying the mystical nature of Umbria. The mystical aura in the city is strong and almost 2000 years old. Named Iguvium by the Romans, the Eugubians rebuilt the city in a more defensible spot up the hill after attacks by Visigoths, Huns, Avars, Perugians, and others over the centuries. Currently the city is plagued by lycanthropes, terrorizing the locals.
