=== Caposa === Founded by the empire of Dandreen as Kapozha, a colony and harbor on the southern coast of Arqualan, the destiny of Caposa and the Eternal Empire have been closely intertwined since the beginning. An important metropole before the Arqi even called themselves thus, Caposa became the principal city of the new nation after the collapse of the Dandrit and host to a thousand history-shifting dramas of war, love, politics, and religion. Caposa is the second most populated city on Arqualan and in the Commonwealth, number 2.8 million souls. Limited by the Sea of Holinos to the south and fenced in by the swamps and jungle of the northwest, the crowded, stifling city has expanded into the bay on vast platforms supported on columns of shining white rock and gates of blue steel. Its harbor bustles with large steam freighters, pleasure yachts, and ancestral fishing boats and its congested markets and tower-plazas resound with the babble of haggling, laughter, and scandal in a score of languages. Truly cosmopolitan, the city is raucous, crime-ridden, and poverty-stricken; side-by-side with the refined displays of old power and the optimism of new wealth. While the fringes of the city are a tumble of foreign shanties and modern, cost-conscious architecture, the Old City still stands as a symbol of the indomitable glory of Arqualan and a link to antiquity, with forums, monuments, and private townhouses over 1,500 years old. Looming over the center of the Old City are the Optolecton, the domed, white-marble meeting place of those august representatives of the Commonwealth; and the truly daunting ribbed spires of the Temple of Zylen Protective.
