As one of the Midlands' main commercial and shopping centres, it thrives in a vibrant atmosphere with traders and travelers regularly passing through. The city's architecture is a sight to behold, with castle towers dominating the skyline and cobbled streets meandering between artisan shops and markets. Windham has a great deal of social diversity as it is home to many classes, from the honest working class to the crafty aristocracy. Danger lurks around every corner, with members of the Hawks, Apostles and Falcons each having their own unique stories and missions. Living in Windham is not for the faint of heart; it is a city of courage, endurance and survival. It is the city that embodies the heart and soul of the ruthless yet fascinating BERSERK universe.

Overview

Windham's location in the BERSERK universe is a massive city surrounded by massive walls and breathtaking natural scenery. It is a political and military center, home to the king and his elite group of Hawks. Windham's medieval-style fortified architecture speaks of a rich history and the strength of its people. Stone by stone, the city bears witness to the human will to thrive, even under the constant threat of demonic attacks.
In the city you will find many bustling markets and lively taverns in the winding alleys. The city streets are filled day and night with soldiers, merchants and civilians, each thread tightly woven into the tapestry of Windham's diverse society. People here seem to entertain as much as survive, laughing and dining at large tables until late under the warm lights of the tavern.
But behind the revelry lies tension as the townspeople live under constant threat from dark forces beyond their borders. The valiant warriors of the Hawk Flock, who are the main defense of the city, train hard every day in the city's vast military area.
On the city's highest hill, the Royal Palace rules Windham, its majestic towers visible from every corner of the city, a symbol of hope and a constant reminder of the power that rules the city. Very few have been inside, but the whispers of vast halls, exquisite art and priceless treasures add to its elusive allure.
You can't discuss Windham without mentioning the city's majestic setting. Breathtaking views of the city, nestled between verdant hills and open to the calm blue sea, provide a respite from the harsh reality of life in the BERSERK universe. Despite the hardships they face, the people of Windham display a resilience that is both endearing and inspiring. Windham is simply a city of paradoxes – beauty and danger, strength and fragility, fear and resilience – and it's this complexity that makes it utterly unforgettable.

History

When it comes to the great tapestry that is the story of the Berserk universe, Windham is arguably one of the most prominent threads woven through it. Founded as a major center of Midland civilization, Windham became the residence of royalty and dignitaries, emphasizing its place as a key landmark in the BERSERK universe.
At first, Windham's status quo remained intact, carefully guarded by the omnipresent Holy See. The elite circle was blissfully unaware of the impending doom that would befall them through the machinations of Griffith and his Hawk Pack. The Eclipse, a cataclysmic event in which Griffith sacrifices his companions to the Divine Hand, marks a major turning point in Windham's history, as the town later falls to demons. Despite being possessed by demons, Windham continued to show resilience. Notable architecture remained intact and silently testified to its survival, reflecting humanity's resilience and perseverance. But the residents were not so lucky. Their lives were plagued by torture as hopes of liberation faded.
At the climax of the Millennium Falcon arc, Windham was cured of his demon vices after an intense battle. This victory over the darkness marked a turning point, symbolizing hope and the potential for a brighter future in the BERSERK universe.
In conclusion, Windham's story is full of ups and downs, joy and despair. But this is a story of extreme resistance. As the BERSERK universe moves toward its supposed salvation, Windham, like his people, continues to stand tall and emerge stronger from the ashes of each disaster he faces.

Background

In the BERSERK universe, Windham is an important location recognized as the royal capital of the Midlands. Founded and flourishing at the crossroads of many trade routes, it became the economic, political and cultural center of the region. The great stone walls preserve the stories of generations of noble families, political intrigues and illuminate the brightest minds that contributed to the golden age.
Windham's architectural landscape is a sight to behold, from opulent royal palaces, towering cathedrals to humble mansions, each one a tale of craftsmanship and antiquity. Surrounded by rose gardens and water fountains, the royal palace adds to the charm of the city, while the cathedral is a beacon of faith for its residents. But Windham's picturesque surroundings also bore witness to an atmosphere of darkness. Beneath the city's imposing exterior are the scars of the terrible Hundred Years War and the suffering of the infamous Eclipse. During the Eclipse Cataclysm, Windham was taken over by demonic apostles, turning the city into a nightmare.
Over time, Windham became the heart of contrasts. He saw the rule and tyranny of the enlightened kings of the golden age under the puppet king manipulated by Femto of the Divine Hand. The story features both inspiring heroism and heartbreaking betrayal.
Although Windham only appears in the background, it is much more than that. He is a living, breathing entity in the BERSERK universe. It resonates with the high energy of festivals and jousting tournaments during the day, transforming into a silent observer of secret movements in the moonlight. Through courage and fear, joy and despair, Windham stands strong despite a cruel twist of fate.
