Newcastle upon Eastmoor, sometimes known as the National Redoubt, is a fortified city in the Kingdom of Moorland, currently serving as the nation's capital. It was first established during the reign of King John I whom discovered the city during the reunification era. The city itself is located high upon the East Moorland Highlands and was built within a tight valley. The historical centre is a strongly fortified town, built by John I to defend the region from the east. Its streets are very steep and narrow, though picturesque.
Recent History
Following the collapse of Nova England, Newcastle was abandoned for several decades to the whims of various invaders from the Green, including the Confederacy of the Dispossessed. By the early 1700s the locals had begun to band together in common defence and reoccupy the city so that by 1715 the stronghold had been mostly restored and a sizable population lived within its fortifications. By 1718 it had grown to a fair sized city and became the seat of the new Kingdom of Moorland.

Local Economy
Prior to the Evacuation, Newcastle upon Eastmoor was the Provincia Capital of Eastmoorland. As such it was the main hub for businesses within the region. As part of this many major Nova English companies located their regional head-quarters within the city which focused primarily on agricultural and industrial services. Following the Rebirth the city has become the new Capital of the Faedertellus and as such is now the focal point for all business within the nation. Currently much of the economic activity within the city relates to the reconstruction of national infrastructure, agriculture and manufacturing.
