'''Imperial City''', the capital city of [[Luthien]], is located on the primary continent of [[Hokkaidō]], just north of the planet's equator and between the Kado-guchi Valley (to the west) and [[LAW City]] (to the east-southeast).<ref name=JTPL-3_4>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', pp. 3–4: "Atlas"</ref><ref>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', p. 19: "Hex map"</ref> It was also the home of the ruling [[Kurita]] family. Prior to the [[Kokuryu-kai|Black Dragon]] [[Battle of Luthien (3067)|Coup]] in [[3067]], the large, sprawling city was bordered by beautiful gardens and thousands of acres of forest.<ref name=JTPL-5>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', p. 5: "Luthien"</ref><br />

Imperial City on Luthien is one of the most breathtaking cities in the [[Inner Sphere]].<ref name=HKDCp179>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 179: "Luthien"</ref><br />
