Located on top of a plateau with a decent view of the entire nation, the City of Aurum is the state capital. It is easily the most populated city in the state, and probably holds nearly half of Montis' population. The city has a strong golden taint, and it is common knowledge that the builders of the city actually did use some real gold to make it that way. This city is where the Air Force is trained and where the airplanes are stored. It's no problem that the city is far from the Kingdom of Men's border with the Midland: considering how fast and agile military jets are in this day and age, they'd be there within ten minutes. Security around Aurum's Tri-Towers is kept pretty tight, though with its eyes to the skies.
