This North Coast metropolis is one of the few that consistently withstands assaults by bold pirates. The Duke has seen fit to construct a fortified harbor wall covered in siege engines. Sturdy limestone walls give a generalized sturdy feel to the entire city. Some say a network of tunnels beneath the city is where the real action is. The populace of 30,000 lives in relative prosperity, having been shielded from the periodic raids for several generations.

The Duke's son Edward Vallis holds the honorary title "Supreme General" and ostensibly commands the three generals.
