Temsevar

Temsevar is a major city on the lower Helvander River (or sometimes said to mark the boundary between the middle and lower Helvander) in the north-central Taefemach. It lies within the arch-duchy of Yenris, a Helvandrian League member state, and is the third largest city in League lands (after Hakoris and Torrune). It also happens to lie roughly midway between those two cities, roughly 250 miles up-river from the former and just over 300 miles down-river from the latter. 
Temsevar’s location in the lower-middle Helvanderûn and the central League lands makes it a major node on the trade routes running up and down the Helvander. Goods from all over the surrounding League states, and from Tythium to the east, converge on Temsevar for further shipment via the great river. The scale of this commercial activity is not quite as huge as the portage traffic at Torrune or the maritime trade centered on Hakoris, but it still makes Temsavar a rich and important mercantile hub. 
Temsevar is notionally the seat of the arch-duke of Yenris, and he does have a grand residence there, but the current arch-duke, XXXXXXX, is apt to spend more of his time at the hilltop palace of XXXXXX southeast of the city (especially in the hot months of the summer).
