	While not part of the Cities of Sigmar allegiance, almost every Order race tends to have some sort of outpost or embassy in the Free Cities. If not, they’re still likely to have a relationship to them given the Free Cities’ nature as safe havens for the enemies of Chaos.		While not part of the Cities of Sigmar allegiance, almost every Order race tends to have some sort of outpost or embassy in the Free Cities. If not, they’re still likely to have a relationship to them given the Free Cities’ nature as safe havens for the enemies of Chaos.
	*'''Daughters of Khaine''': The Daughters of Khaine host temples in every major City. While they're subject to all sorts of (entirely justified) rumors about dark blood rituals, they're tolerated due to being formidable allies in the war against Chaos. When not at war they perform gladiatorial games and blade dances to simultaneously praise Khaine and entertain the masses. Of the various sects, the Draichi Ganeth, who look down upon the subterfuge and deception of their sisters, are the most commonly seen. They are known to the Freeguilds as the Executioners Cult due to their blunt and forward style of combat, as well as their penchant for decapitation. But word's starting to get around about what Morathi did to Anvilgard, eroding peoples' tolerance of them.		*'''Daughters of Khaine''': The Daughters of Khaine host temples in every major City.

	*'''Kharadron Overlords''': Kharadron Overlords are an important part of the economy for the Cities of Sigmar. With travel over land being incredibly dangerous due to the hordes of chaotic marauders, deathly thralls, and destructive hooligans, airships are the most efficient way to trade between cities, and while the Cities of Sigmar have their own airships, they're nowhere near as good as the Kharadron's. The Kharadron for their part look down on the Cities of Sigmar as being primitive rubes, and only sell them their most outdated technology (which is still more advanced than the average thing the Ironweld Arsenal makes). That said, the Kharadron's tendency towards ruthless profiteering, egregious rules-lawyering and close-minded secularism has ~~also~~ created tension between them and the Free Peoples.		*'''Kharadron Overlords''': Kharadron Overlords are an important part of the economy for the Cities of Sigmar.

	*'''Seraphon''': The Fangs of Sotek Seraphon often end up setting up embassies in the Cities of Sigmar. When they're around, often people turn up mysteriously dead, with the investigation discovering the victims were secret Chaos cultists. These vigilante killings are inevitably blamed upon the Daughters of Khaine. Their enigmatic nature has seen most people default to wary respect around them.		*'''Seraphon''': The Fangs of Sotek Seraphon often end up setting up embassies in the Cities of Sigmar.

	*'''Fyreslayers''': Fyreslayers often set up local branches of their Lodges in Free Cities to offer their services as mercenaries. In addition to being hired by the City itself, they're also commonly hired by merchants; as already mentioned, travel over land is incredibly dangerous, so if you are forced to do it you're gonna need a regiment of angry pyromaniac dorfs and their giant lava-blooded lizards to protect your caravan.		*'''Fyreslayers''': Fyreslayers often set up local branches of their Lodges in Free Cities to offer their services as mercenaries.

	*'''Lumineth Realm-Lords''': In their stalwart quest to defeat Chaos at all costs, the scions of Tyrion and Teclis are coldly pragmatic towards the Free Cities. Small cities are in danger of being completely wiped off the map if the Realm-Lords need its territory for some rune carving. The larger ones (or the ones they can’t nuke) are simply seen as primitive strongholds by the Lumineth and could really benefit from their guiding light. Understandably, this makes many of the Hysh Aelves rather unwelcome among the Cities of Sigmar.		*'''Lumineth Realm-Lords''': In their stalwart quest to defeat Chaos at all costs, the scions of Tyrion and Teclis are coldly pragmatic towards the Free Cities.

	*'''Dispossessed''': Duardin who have lost their old Karaks in the Age of Chaos and have to live with the umgi and elgi now.

	*'''Collegiate Arcane''': All the Empire's Wizards, including their giant engines. Sadly, no High Elf wizards made the cut, nor did their dragons. They are essentially a souped up version of the Colleges of Magic, comprised of powerful Battlemages who have trained for decades in eight floating towers called the Towers of the Eight Winds (I see what you did there GW), each one focused on a certain Realm’s variety of magic. However, humans are no longer restricted to one color only and can learn all, in particular a Battlemage spending a decade in each is deemed a Grandmaster who is licensed to create new spells and magical items. The Grandmasters built a specialist sub order named the Order of the Chained Flame that functions as a bounty board that hands out Spell Hunter licenses to those who dispel and capture rogue Endless spells.		*'''Collegiate Arcane''': All the Empire's Wizards, including their giant engines.

	*'''Ironweld Arsenal''': All the Dwarf and Empire war machines and vehicles. This includes letting people ride those tanks. It was revealed that they can build some really freaking badass shit nowadays, like a fortress with legs that was so powerful in the Morathi book that it decimated hundreds of dark aelves and almost won the battle single handedly. It's not a one-off either, they're called cogforts and the Ironweld Arsenal has cranked out a lot of them.		*'''[[Ironweld Arsenal]]''': All the Dwarf and Empire war machines and vehicles.

	*'''Phoenix Temple''': Yes, these silent dead 'ard bastards are still around. They now worship the Ur-Phoenix instead of Asuryan. They were once broken Aelves (physically or mentally broken) who received the healing warmth of a phoenix, thus they were reborn as devout warrior monks. Members can come from any Aelven faction, there are even some Phoenix Guard who were former Daughters of Khaine.		*'''Phoenix Temple''': Yes, these silent dead 'ard bastards are still around.

	*'''Vindicarum:''' This city is a veritable fortress, stationed atop a mountain and guarded by the Celestial Vindicators. Though it is a devout place, it is constantly imperiled by the machinations of Tzeentch and as a result, its Stormcast protectors are often merciless with their persecution. Heroes from Vindicarum add their training in Theology to Insight, Awareness, or Survival checks made to determine the traces of Chaos. In addition, the Theology skill is available to all archetypes.		*'''Vindicarum:''' This city is a veritable fortress, stationed atop a mountain and guarded by the Celestial Vindicators.

	*'''Tempest's Eye''': A city on top of a mountain that has close trade and military ties to the Kharadron Overlords.

	* '''Misthåvn''': The “City of Scoundrels” was created in Ulgu from a collection of massive ships from varying races all lashed together. This unique design means that Misthåvn can divide into its various components and move along the coast of Cape Tendbrax. Rather than having districts, the city is comprised of different armadas, each overseen by a Scourge Privateer Fleetmaster/Admiral. It’s infamous among the Azyrites for its corrupt policies, underhanded combat strategies, and a very lucrative illegal narcotics market. The native populace takes a spiteful pride in this reputation, though they still do their best to make sure Sigmar doesn’t call for the city’s purging, doubly so because the city's heart is a ship bigger than all the others and is also a Stormkeep for the Stormcast Eternals. At the top of the Stormcast's ship is a realmgate, which the city's populace thinks is attached to the top of the ship. In truth, the realmgate moves randomly, but the Stormcast use magic to scry where and when it moves, and pretend it moves with their ship instead of the other way around.		* '''Misthåvn''': The “City of Scoundrels” was created in Ulgu from a collection of massive ships from varying races all lashed together.

	*'''Settler's Gain''': Located in the continent of Xintil in [[Hysh]], where all the Sigmar-praisers are given their own little society away from the rest of the realm. Settler's Gain notably has solar-powered automata doing all the menial labor, freeing the populace to focus on intellectual pursuits. The city is run by a meritocratic caste system where your status is based on passing philosophical, theological and arcane tests. Truly the most utopian of all Free Cities. Pay no attention to the fact that these tests are so numerous and require so many years of study to pass that only Aelves can live long enough to ascend to the highest ranks, resulting in a ruling class of Lumineth reigning over the mostly-human peasants. These peasants live in simple but well-designed houses neatly grouped together which are totally not second-rate housing commission to create a ghetto for humans and human sympathizers; it's definitely called the Simple District for the basic style of architecture, and not a Lumineth joke mocking the inhabitants as stupid. Those questioning the perfect society of <s>Settler's Gain~~</s> <s>Yllurai Xhen~~</s> Yllurai Xhen to the Lumineth and their supporters, Settler's Gain originally and to everyone else... or protest the system will be sent on years-long "educational sabbaticals" or assigned to Lumineth-owned Enlightenment Prisms for re-education.		*'''Settler's Gain''': Located in the continent of Xintil in [[Hysh]], where all the Sigmar-praisers are given their own little society away from the rest of the realm.

	*'''Excelsis''': A [[Ghur\|Ghurish]] city built around the Spear of Mallus, an big ass shard of the World-That-Was that fell into Ghur. Shards broken off this object can be used to see the future, and the resulting "Glimmerings" have become the local currency. Too bad they have to live in terror of the Knights Excelsior, one of the most brutal and authoritarian Stormhosts. Too bad the Knights are doing huge crackdowns after a big Tzeentch cultist insurrection (detailed in the book City of Secrets). Too bad that all the fortune teller guilds are discovering from the Glimmerings that a gigantic army of all Destruction races lead by [[Kragnos]] himself is heading towards them. Too bad that the ever mounting volume of hurt about to befall the citizens of Excelsis is about to expand, as [[Sigvald\|Sigvald the Magnificent]] and [[Glutos Orscollion]] are now leading their Slaaneshi hordes towards the city, intending to make it their new personal playground of debauchery. While it was ultimately saved by the cooperative efforts of the Kharadron fleets, Morathi and Lord Kroak, the city is still bound to be targeted by the resurgent forces of Destruction.		*'''Excelsis''': A [[Ghur\|Ghurish]] city built around the Spear of Mallus, an big ass shard of the World-That-Was that fell into Ghur.
