'''Frehmenwerth''' (/freɪmənveːɐ̯t/; [[Khunyer language|Khunyer]]: ''Vrémenverda'', /vreːmɛnvɛɹdɒ/) is the capital of the Most Serene Federation of [[Hendalarsk]], located in the centre of the [[Hendalarsk Capital Territory]]. Home to around 2,400,000 people, it is the third-largest city in Hendalarsk after [[Wrzeszcz-Kokoszki]] and [[Zalgisbeck]]. The nation's political hub, Frehmenwerth is also the key commercial entrepôt of the Upper [[Zalgis]] and serves as the gateway to southwestern Hendalarsk for domestic and international traffic from both the north and the east of the country.
'''Frémenwerd''', officially known as '''Frehmenwerth''' (/freɪmənveːɐ̯t/; [[Khunyer language|Khunyer]]: ''Vrémenverda'', /vreːmɛnvɛɹdɒ/),<ref>As with many other cities in Hendalarsk, like [[Schullerhausen]] and [[Zalgisbeck]], Frémenwerd was officially (re)named during a period in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries when it was considered more prestigious to name cities after an imagined [[Pan-Gothism|pan-Gothic ideal]]; authorities have generally opted to stick with these older names even as their pronunciation in standard Hendalarskisch has dramatically diverged.</ref> is the capital of the Most Serene Federation of [[Hendalarsk]], located in the centre of the [[Hendalarsk Capital Territory]].

Located in the centre of Hendalarsk at around 800 metres above sea level, Frehmenwerth has a relatively mild climate, in no small part due to the moderating influence of the prevailing southwesterly wind; this also has the less desirable effect of making the city one of the windiest in Hendalarsk, as air is funnelled through the valley in which the city sits. The Zalgis remains ice-free in the city year-round, a factor which contributed to its early significance and prosperity, although floes have been known to drift north from the more mountainous land to the south in especially harsh winters.

Other sports, while not as popular as football, enjoy some popularity in the capital. Baseball does not have the same domestic prominence as in other Levantine nations like Urcea, but the Frehmenwerther Phalanx are the most well-supported team in the country.
