Alsarias

Alsarias is the largest city in the Dominion of Miredor and its chief port. This has of course to be taken in the context that Ostelor which lies on its borders is both a much larger city and sees a greater flow of Miredoran imports and exports through its docks and warehouses. Unlike Carasalas its buildings and culture are mostly mannish and as a result its inhabitants tend to be human and those half-elves who lean more to their human side. Barely 5% of the 5,500 population are Elves.

Alsarias is located on the coast in the Bay of Drel where the Trenth Road meets the Men Miredor. It is tucked into a cove and divided into an old and new town. Most of the residences, shops and administrative buildings occupy the larger newer Cliff Town which has wider tree-lined streets. The port with its warehouses, craft halls and older narrower thoroughfares dominates Bay Town. Alsarias has a high standard of public hygene and uses an ingenious system of aqueducts and pipes to supply flowing water to all its buildings.

Despite this one of its claims to fame is that it is the only city in the Dominion in Miredor with a Thieves Guild. Although many from other parts of the Dominion therefore see the city as 'crime-ridden' the truth is that the crime rate is low compared to other cities in the region and the majority of the criminal activity is confined to the busy streets of Bay Town. One of the reasons that the Thieves Guild is tolerated by the authorities is that they actually help to keep criminals from other cities out of Alsarias.
