Memorial District

North Reach War Museum

The largest structure in North Reach, the War Museum houses a fully reconstructed Sengaardian airship, the first war-ready Quivyn aeroplane, some of the first examples of the P-Series Shadowhawk auto-pistol, and several other unusual relics from the Three-Way War. Along with these exotic relics of war, there are more mundane items, such as uniforms worn by all three factions in the Three-Way War, various firearms, and some of the trophies taken from the King-Priest's stronghold, at the height of the war.

Tours are given here throughout the day, for those interested in learning about the Quivyn Republic rendition of events during the war. There is also a sectioned off area, not normally open to the public, where special, exceedingly rare items are on display. New recoveries can also be brought here as well, for inspection and verification of authenticity, which the museum usually pays handsomely for.

Quivyn National Library

The fount of the Republic's civic studies, the National Library houses all the books, scrolls and documents from everything to national law, to city sanitary code. Those who wish to gain a position in the fledgling government would find everything they could possibly require to study up for the exam that's given once, every three months.

Also housed here are books of national and local history, or rather…the Quivyn rendition of national and local history, much of which, if they could read it, would likely be mocked and spat upon by both the native Plainsmen, the Sengaardian Holy regime and at least a few historians. While colored heavily in favor of the government, there are at least on some level, a few accurate portrayals of events amongst the books kept here.

Republic National Archives

 This particular building was constructed at the insistence of the Chancellor, so there would be a record of every citizen of the Republic, including skills, professions and place of residence. The census to gather this information was done when the city was founded, and is updated once every two years.

The census is taken very seriously by the Chancellor, and people have been stripped of citizenship, and accused of seditious behavior for simply not filling out the questionnaire that is delivered door to door, to every citizen of the Republic. The Archive building itself is a veritable vault, with thick Vocorium plated doors, anti-scrying sorcery enchanted upon the stone it's built upon, and round-the-clock guards patrolling it.

Walk of Champions

 Created as a memorial for those who died during the Three-Way War, the Walk of Champions is a garden walkway of one mile, that has, in total, twenty-six statues of fallen Republic heroes, that ends in a stone monument, that contains the name of all 4,723 soldiers lost in the brutal fighting.

Often visited by survivors, tourists and those looking for a bit of solace, the Walk is also patrolled by an honor guard at all times, and all weather conditions. The changing of the guard happens four times a day, and is something of a ceremonial affair.
