St. Joseph's is the capital city of Burwood within the Kingdom of Moorland. Originally founded around 1521 AN by Nova England, the city survived until being wiped out by two successive diasporas that left it as little more than a ghost town. By the early 1700s it had dwindled to a population of several hundred. But the Burwood Wildfires and the decision to use the town as local rallying point for the remnants of Ostland and a place of refuge for those displaced by the fires served to revitalize the city. By late 1728 the city had rebounded to almost 40,000 residents, with an untold score of other refugees awaiting resettlement. That same year it was made the capital of the newly-designated Council of Burwood. The city also serves as the garrison headquarters for St Joseph's Volunteers.
