Alqaer

The capital city of Artrelor, Alqaer is a metropolis of warehouses, inns, taverns, slums and docks. Once a beautiful city of wondrous architecture, it is slowly being tarnished by the over-population and increasing homeless- as land becomes more expensive, many people can no longer force to maintain property. Alqaer is famous for thwo reasons. Mainly, the giant stature of Kuros, holding a torch, which straddles the harbour. The Kurosa, as its known, is carved of marble and stands 100' high- it is a miracle of sculpting, and its torch can be seen for miles on a clear night. Secondly, once a year Alqaer throws the festival of the Swan- this is a festival celebrating the founding of Arandor, and the whole town becomes a giant carnival. Although other towns also celebrate the festival, most people descend on Alqaer, where the festival was invented.
The duke maintains his palace here, Bar Trelor, up the coast 3 miles from the city.
