'''The City of Madness''' was a city built by Zarok using science. The city was home to many of his obscure inventions, including his [[boiler guards]]. Another notable invention was a train, which he used to travel around the city faster. In the middle of the city lied [[Zarok's Lair]], his personal domain. Both the lair and city exploded in 1386. | '''The City of Madness''' was a city built by Zarok using science. The city was home to many of his obscure inventions, including his [[boiler guards]].

{{Main article|Monarchy of Gallowmere}} | |||
In the Middle Ages, Gallowmere was one of a number of feudal kingdoms making up Britain. However, after the death of King Peregrin, there was seemingly no immediate transfer of power and the kingdom was left leaderless. The only remaining form of government was found in the settlement of Gallows Town where the people had elected a mayor. | |||
===Military=== | |||
Due to war not being prevalent in the region during the early medieval period, Gallowmere seemingly didn't have a large standing army. The role of the King's Champion was seen as purely honorary.{{Bookref|MED-Manual}} Instead, the king relied on his Court Magician to repel potential attackers.{{Bookref|FArrow}} He also had his [[wikipedia:royal guard|royal guard]] for personal protection as well as [[wikipedia:Reconnaissance|scouts]] for intercepting enemy forces.{{Bookref|FArrow}} | |||
When the renegade sorcerer Zarok raised an army of demons to take over the land in 1286, the King's Champion led the [[King's Militia|militia]] into battle against this unholy horde. Gallowmere lost a whole generation of young men in said battle against the sorcerer. The King himself died soon after, leaving the kingdom leaderless and with greatly diminished military forces. | |||
