The capital city, seat of the monarchy, and home to the Royal Adrak Bank. The Bank mints and underwrites the iron Aldriktch standard the Middle Sea keeps its books in, and it is the one house heavy enough to publish a north-south cross-rate the southern ports will quote their weighed silver against. How the standard is run, and which house holds the ledgers, belongs to Adron and to Mariseni, who heads the first of them. Sits on or near the water ley line. The nobility here keep domesticated dragons as pets—impressive creatures, but shadows of the war-beasts their ancestors once rode. The city exudes old wealth and older pride.
