Praag is the most northerly of the cities of Kislev and is located on the river [[Lynsk]], where Kislev borders the lands given over to Chaos.It is an unfortunate city: having fallen once to a [[Chaos incursion]], it has since been regarded as cursed. {{Fn|1a}}
 
==Government==
After the third attempt by the city to secede, its Ungol rulers were replaced by a Gospodar representative of the Tzar, answerable only to that power, they were given the title Duke of Praag and reside in the '''New Palace'''. {{Fn|1b}}
==History==
* '''Noble Quarter''': The south-eastern corner of the city. {{Fn|1b}}
** '''Great Museum'''. {{Fn|1b}}
** '''Opera House''': It bears the scars of the war proudly with the beauty and extravagance of the rebuilding defiant in the face of decay. Everyone also knows that the great pipe organ plays even when the building is empty {{Fn|1b}}
* '''Novygrad''': New Town, constructed in the 1700s [[IC]] its closeness to the north gate meant that its narrow, streets were the first and hardest hit of the entire city, and no rebuilding can fully reclaim it from [[Chaos]]. The poorest of the poor live in these streets where sickness kills too quickly and [[Sunworm]]s and [[Chaos Slime]] get the rest. {{Fn|1b}}
* '''Starograd''': The Old Town sheltered inside the original walls of the town are the oldest buildings, packed into the tight, winding streets that all too often lead nowhere. A visitor can find proscribed book sellers, magic ingredients, foreign wonders the most exotic bordellos and drug dens. {{Fn|1b}}
** '''The Old Town Hall''': This lofty, many-roomed building now acts as the city’s sanatorium. {{Fn|1b}}
* '''The Citadel''': A imposing fortress with lead-lined, rune-scored defences which bear countless scars of war, but remain solid. Beneath the Citadel is the '''Square of Kisses''', where the armies of the city assemble, but only during the day. At night it still rings with the maddening screams of the thousands of men who died there when the north gate fell. The Citadel also serves as a Watch House. {{Fn|1b}}
 
==Notable==
* [[Ivan Valeriki Kolarabinikov]]: Duke of Praag appointed after the Storm of Chaos.{{Fn|1b}}
