Antowal

The Free City of Antowal, lies at the confluence of the Biurnale River to its North, and the Banurn River to its South. It is a large overland trading hub between Farsendown, The Ride, and Deltenheim. There are many liveries and stables, wheelwrights, leather workers, and anything else a convoy on the move might need. Inns and taverns abound here, as at any given time a large number of people in the city may be transitory.

There are also grain storage facilities, mills and other industries to support the farms in the surrounding lands, as well as lumber mills to process the woods harvested from nearby pine forests. The wood is used for wagons, wheels, construction of buildings, and some of it even floated downriver for shipwrights.

The city is ruled by a Lord Mayor, chosen from among the Nobles of the city, though the position is not hereditary. When the position is open, for whatever reason, (abdication, death, coup, whatever) the next Lord Mayor is chosen, through complex diplomatic and political maneuvering between the Noble houses. The current Lord Mayor is one Lord Arkin Immosryn. By all accounts a foppish oaf, who's head is as empty as a bell.

The Military forces are much like those of Farsendown, without the navy. Commissions are purchased, so the Legions are run by the wealthy... for better or worse.
