Aluarim

Situated near the banks of the river Aluar, Aluarim (population1,328) is well protected from potential invaders by virtue of itslocation in central Halruaa. The town functions primarily as ashipping center for exports from the surrounding farms. Mostof the acreage of this quaint town is taken up by the producewarehouses near the riverbanks, where the docks jut into thewater. Naval traffic to and from Aluarim is steady, since it isthe last stop along the northbound shipping route except forEru in the far north.
==Rhodea Firehair==
Until about six months ago, Aluarim was the home of RhodeaFirehair (NG female human evoker 18/Halruaan elder 3), themost powerful evoker in the country. Rhodea was known forher absolute fearlessness, and she led troops into combat onseveral occasions.
Surprisingly, Rhodea died not in battle, but in an accident atthe royal mint involving a polymorphed dragon. A short timeafter her tragic demise, her daughter Thalia was stabbed to deathby Procopio Septus and Dhamari Exchelsor, the two wizardswhose magic had caused the incident at the mint.
The tower in which Rhodea made her home has stood on thenorthern fringes of Aluarim since before the town existed. Forreasons unknown, tradition demands that this tower always serveas the home of an evoker. Its previous occupant, one Alteb Lazin,was far less friendly with the locals than Rhodea was, though hedid his part to help defend the town when necessary. The towerhas been vacant since Rhodea’s death, but her skyship, [[the Willo Wisp]], is still docked at the top.
