Lupugana

Lupugana (ルプガナ Rupugana), also known as the Imperial Capital of Lupugana (帝都ルプガナ Teito Rupugana), is the capital city of the Sacred Vollachia Empire. It is directly administered by the current Emperor of Vollachia, Vincent Vollachia.

Information
Lupugana is a large star-shaped city located near the center of the Empire. It is surrounded by a five-sided bastion fort with high city walls and a moat. On the outskirts of Lupugana, there are various forests situated between each point amongst the bastions, and to the city's north, there is a large reservoir. Within the Imperial Capital, the architecture varies little in quality from one part of the city to another. At the heart of Lupugana lies the Crystal Palace, which is considered to be the city's symbol.

History
At an unknown point in time, the Crystal Palace and the Meteor within it, which would eventually become Moguro Hagane, were created. Some time after its creation, the Magic Crystal Cannon sitting atop the palace would come to be used in the past to destroy a large city, and according to legend, it was used against a Great Disaster.

Throughout the Empire's history, the reigning Emperor has historically ruled Vollachia from Lupugana's Crystal Palace.

Locations

 * Crystal Palace (水晶宮 Suishō-kyū): The Crystal Palace is the castle where the Emperor of Vollachia reigns from. It is considered the symbol of Lupugana and the heart of the Empire itself as a result of its unparalleled offensive and defensive capabilities. Due to the presence of the Emperor, it is guarded by a large amount of soldiers from the Imperial Army. The citadel is an elaborately designed castle, with exceptionally rare magic crystals being used throughout its construction, causing a high density of mana to flow within it. It supposedly also has the power to amplify magic thousands of times beyond its normal power. At the highest point of the castle is the Magic Crystal Cannon, an immensely powerful cannon adorned with magic crystals. In tandem with the castle's mana and the magic crystals used across the entirety of its structure, the cannon's power can be amplified to extreme levels of power. The Crystal Palace itself is governed by Moguro Hagane, a living Meteor who gained their spirit from the high density of mana gathered around the castle.
 * Berstetz's Mansion (ベルステツの邸宅 Berusutetsu no Teitaku): The official residence of Vollachia's current Prime Minister, Berstetz Fondalfon. It is a spacious mansion with a majestic atmosphere where even the rooms made for prisoners of war are lavishly designed. The mansion is overseen by Berstetz's own private army, which guards areas both within and around the premises. Most notably, there is a hidden tea chamber serving as a fortress for the sole purpose of private conversations; it is said to cost enough to buy an entire city by itself. Additionally, Berstetz's mansion possesses a courtyard, a garden, and a hidden compartment that can only be accessed from the roof of the mansion.

Trivia

 * In Ex Volume 4, it was originally stated that the walls of the bastion fort surrounding Lupugana's formed a square around the city. However, this was altered in Arc 7, and the Imperial Capital's walls were changed to form the shape of a star instead.
