Government

Glacierheart is the first settlement officially established by the Republic, and as such shares a similar governmental structure. The town is officially under the jurisdiction of the Lord Protector, but day to day governance has almost entirely been delegated to the Glacierheart Gendarmerie, under the command of the of the Glacierheart Sergeant-at-Arms.

Like his Siddar counterpart, the Glacierheart S.A. is appointed by the Lord Protector, though traditionally the selection is made from amongst a set of candidates nominated through a general election. The top 3 vote gatherers are forwarded to the Lord Protector for consideration.

Culture

Glacierheart is primarily a mining town, supplying some of the finest quality anthracite coal to the Republic's innumerable forges. The town's residents are fiercely proud of their mining and metallurgical heritage, and are often recruited as experts by mining and smeltry operations elsewhere. As the saying goes, "Siddar is the Republic's shining beacon, but Glacierheart keeps it lit".
