Zwillingstürme, formerly known as Vedunien, is the capital of Leithanien.

Background

Located in Kreis Einwald, Zwillingstürme is the current capital city of Leithanien. Previously it was known as Vedunien, but after the Witch King's defeat by the Twin Empresses during the Septemberrevolution, the capital was reconstructed and renamed as Zwillingstürme in 1092.[1] The Twin Towers of the Twin Empresses later became the new landmark of the city. The Golden Tower was dubbed "Eternal Grace" representing the Golden Empress, Lieselotte and The Black Tower was dubbed "Austere Authority" representing the Black Empress, Hildegard. Each year, the Twin Empresses held a festival celebrating their reign called "Das Kaiserinenfest", where it culminates with the Empresses playing their own instruments together on a bridge that connects the tower where everyone can see them.

Etymology

Zwillingstürme literally means "Twin Towers" in German, referring to its iconic twin Spires. Whereas, its former name, Vedunien, comes from Vedunia, one of the etymologies for Vienna, the capital of Austria, that originally means "forest stream" in Celtic.
