Aeston

The first point of contact for Rolim the Generous, Aeston prided itself on being the source of Vylgaard's prosperity. The city was not heavily targeted during the war and thus much of its old architecture remains. Today it is home to around 150,000 residents, most of them halflings, but dwarves and humans make up nearly a quarter of the population. Aeston serves as Vylgaard's secondary port and is often the site of trade from the West. Natural ores and minerals, as well as agricultural products from the plains around Gilborough are traded with Eonearia's easternmost city, Farhold which produces an abundance of lumber. The Steward of Aeston is Rudolph Goodwort, a male halfling. Even before the war, Aeston was largely populated by halflings, and as per their tradition no one clan ha predominance over the others. It was one of few places in Vylgaard that was not ruled by nobility. As such, it has avoided many of the pitfalls of governmental transition that have befallen other towns and cities. From Aeston travelers may seek passage to Eonearia or even to the western coast of Oziaros. The arcane academy of Apirix is also easily reachable by ship.
