*Baldwin, sipping Soup-on-the-Go, and wandering about the courtyard of the Ministry, finally notices the increasingly-impatient Lovelyans.*
Hello! I'm the Minister of Immigration, Naturalization, and Tourism. So far, I've only gotten to do the first two parts of the job. Welcome to Shirekeep, the capital of Shireroth, seat of the Kaiser and home of the Landsraad. Across the street there from Ministry Row is the Ancient City, the oldest part of Shirekeep. Inside are the Temple of Mors, Raynor's Keep, and the Triple Towers. This area was founded by Kaiser Raynor I, our very first Kaiser (you won't find any record of him in the "actual history.") The Triple Towers house the home and offices of the Imperial Arbiter, the head of Shireroth's judicial system, as well as various council chambers. The temple of Mors is the oldest building in Shirekeep.
Here in Ministry Row are the various Ministries which deal with the day-to-day management of the Empire. They exist by the will of the Kaiser, and only to do work which he has delegated to us. The Landsraad is here as well. This is a body of the major nobles of Shireroth, who make a fair bit of our laws, these days, though their will is subservient to the will of the Kaiser.
Elsewhere in the city are various museums, as well as the Sir John Metzler III University. From Shirekeep Airport, you can fly to most any of our subdivisions, as well as to other countries.

Thankyou very much Minister, that's very informative and helpful. You have a beautiful city and a beautiful country, and you have the moose.
C'mon Saz, let's go and explore the city.

I think we should check out the Museum of the Mediocre Arts first. I wonder if it includes macrame and raffia work.

Ace! I'm a fan of Surapa the elemaphant and co, and I've seen some of Richard Dadd's work, and others.

Ohhhhhh is there a gift shop?
I LOVES a good gift shop...

me too, let's hope the gifts are as Mediocre as the Arts. The Fine gifts will all be in the Museum of Fine Arts, which we're going to next I think. After lunch. Is there a Pasty shop around here?

I've left a message asking about the local temple, would be good for the tour

which temple? there are four on this map.

The main one for the established religion "Cedrism". Thought it'd give us a bit of an insight into the culture.

Your friend should clearly be beaten with firebrands to relieve him of this insanity.

Nah, might damage the goods.
