The city of Paladast is the largest city in the kingdom of Karninia, itself a part of the Empire of Trynser. Like most Trynsern cities, it controls a sizable territory outside of the city limits. Paladast is the northernmost of major Trynsern cities along the Raystwar River, flowing southwards towards Ardallia, Kasteban City and Drazenfel, all in the Kingdom of Kasteban, and Delternas at the river's mouth in the Intamerack Sea. Paladast is the linkage between the powerful economies of the Southern Cities and Eastern Karninia, and is the major export point for the agriculture and livestock of Feylurayne. A lot of timber is also harvested in this area, made into simple boats and rafts, it is made to carry other cargo down the river to Delternas and Trynser City where it is used for building.
Population: 95,000; 85% human, mainly of Trynsern extraction, with several thousands each of Bourond, Sargan, and Thalosian humans as well; approx. 5000 Golgomar dwarves; several thousand Atana halflings; about a thousand elves of different orgins and hundreds of specimens of other races.
Government: The city is ruled by the Duke of Paladast, Padriack Alimardin.
Geography: Paladast is located at the confluence of the Raystwar River, which runs from the northwest to the south, and the Farlendor River which runs from the northeast to where it joins the Raystwar at the south of the city. The city is located upon terraces on one of the foothills of the west side of the Karmeron Mountains which loom to the east. The highest terrace is located on a rocky peak a thousand feet over the river level, upon which is perched the ducal palace. The river level is about a mile above sea level.
Climate: Temperate, with warm to hot summers and cool winters. Precipitation is abundant throughout the year due to the city's location on the moist side of the Karmeron Mountain's rain shadow. Snowfall is common but not often excessive.
