Anvil is a small settlement in north-eastern Casinea, not far from the grim shadow of the fortification known as the Silent Sentinel that watches the borders of vallorn-haunted Brocéliande. While the place itself is ordinary, four times each year it hosts the quarterly summits that chart the course the Empire travels through history. In the fields near the town, each of the ten nations of the Empire gather to establish national camps with the assistance of the civil service.
