Halsholm!
View over the downtown
On Draycora
Draycora is a principality located on the peninsula of the same name in the The Land of Kings and Emperors. The country is particularly known for its high culture. Many famous musicians, artists, architects and scientists come from this country. Politically, the principality is a parliamentary electoral monarchy, the head of state is the directly democratically elected, life-long prince.
The people who live in Draycora are called Elves. Two values form the foundation of Elvish society: Firstly, freedom, each Elf believes in the peaceful expression of the individual in a free society. Personal creativity and individual talents are a person's best tools. The second value is sophistication. An Elf loves culture, which is why over 90% of the Elves are organized in associations of all kinds. In addition, the elves love the pomp and external impact; bright colors and ornaments.
Elbe society combines these two values in many areas. While republican values such as equality are upheld by law, the Elf still loves the aesthetic charm of the monarchy. This mixture of the two values often gives Draycora the nickname "Libertarian Diva" abroad.

There are several Hotels in Halsholm.
Kreivikunta
A five star hotel, which is located in the luxury district of "Forest Town". This district is provided with many villas and is located in a green meadow landscape, but is not separated from the rest of the city. The bourgeoisie of Halsholm actually lives here. That is why this hotel is also very expensive.
Tulevaisuus
This hotel is located in the downtown area and is in the medium price range. Especially on the higher floor you can catch beautiful views of the city.
Linna
This hotel is on the threshold between high-priced and medium-priced and is located in the old town. It is a meeting point for many clubs and lodges and offers a play and an orchestral concert once a month.
Kota
This hotel is relatively cheap and is located in the district of the "bakery village", somewhat separated from the rest of the city. The petit bourgoisie of Halsholm lives in this part of the city, which is why many craftsmen, teachers and the eponymous baker's guild live here. From the hotel you have wonderful views, on the one hand on the district characterized by half-timbered houses and on the other hand on the beautiful mountain landscape that surrounds Halsholm and shapes the geography of the entire principality.
