History
For the full article, see: History of Shirekeep
Shirekeep has had a long and often troubled history. Historians themselves can't even agree on what exactly happened in the city, so it's difficult to imagine you can. Well, if you have the time and are not taken aback by tales of daemons, severed limbs and curious murders, just go and read the entire article.
Quarters of the city
Monuments
Demographics
Public Health
The insanitary conditions of Shirekeep and its environs, including the Underkeep, long submerged in backed up effluent, have become infamous the world over and gave rise to a myriad of disease. The suspicion has been for many years that a great mortality has been kept at bay in the city only by the continual warring of the bacterial microbes as to which should give rise to the next exterminating pestilence.
A Shirekeeper may be readily identified by the discovery of the so-called "keep-blister", a putrid green bubo or blister, which may be found about the underside of the armpit, in the groin or on the neck of the sufferer. In a Shirekeeper it is the sign that the bacteriological warfare raging in his body has reached a stalemate and that the patient may expect to reach about the average age of someone resident in the city who does not die as a consequence of direct human intervention (42). For a person who has come from the countryside or less malignant or indeed more sanitary climes the discovery is usually swiftly fatal.
Government
Shirekeep is politically divided into Quarters, who each elect a Quarter Council to manage that particular area. This body elects one Provost to chair the Council for a 3 year period. The Provosts sit in the Council of Provosts, which constitutes Shirekeep's central elected body. However, the power of the city remains in the hands of the Prefect, who is appointed directly by the Kaiser.

In the modern era Shirekeep has been besieged or otherwise attacked by Elwynnese forces in the years 1493, 1535, 1602, 1635 & 1644. Unsurprisingly the Keepers have started to develop a bit of a complex concerning their northern neighbours.
