Founded in the Pre-Alexandrian times as an independent city-state, it became the "Gateway to the South" of the [[Alexian]] state forged by Alexandria after the [[Prophet's War]]. It adapted better than most to spread of the [[Valley of Dust]] across [[Alexia]] and was the first cities of Old [[Alexia]] to return to freeholder status. It commands the nexus of several major river systems and is the major inland port for good traveling from [[Wydmoor]], [[Ubrekt]], and [[Fresia]] to the [[Chrysanthemum Gulf]] and [[Gildenhome]]. | Founded in the Pre-Alexandrian times as an independent city-state, it became the "Gateway to the South" of the [[Alexian]] state forged by Alexandria after the [[Prophet's War]].

It is currently ruled by a Lord Mayor selected by the patrician families who serves for a period of 8 years. The current Lord Mayor, [[Handzel Greggora]], is a savvy autocrat five years into his second term.

In gratitude, he ceded the captured facility to the [[Bounty Hunters]], though confiscated the amber and any real valuables. | It is currently ruled by a Lord Mayor selected by the patrician families who serves for a period of 8 years.
