Cottbus is the capital of Unkerlant and the power center of King Swemmel of Unkerlant. During the Derlavaian War the forces of Algarve came near enough to see the tallest buildings of Cottbus, but were beaten back and never came that close again. The city is located at the junction of the Cottbus and Astal rivers. It buildings all have their roofs slopes slanted to make sure the snow falls to the ground instead of collecting on the roof.
