Arrabar
Arrabar is a sprawling and ancient city, the capitol of a shrunken empire. Despite its age, the metropolis is clean and well maintained. Its people are fisherfolk, merchants, craftsfolk, and mercenaries. Among the latter group are members of mercenary companies who rest here between assignments, and members of private armies permanently stationed in the capitol.
Arrabar marks the western end of the so-called Emerald Corridor, the road that runs the length of Chondath, terminating at Hlath. The Golden Road from the south also ends here. the two roads and Arrabar's location on the Vilhon Reach make it a center of trade and help keep Chondath's coffers full.
The most resplendent edifice in the city is the Generon, the ruling palace of the Lord of Arrabar and all Chondath, Eles Wianar. It is a stately dome glittering in gold and silver, ringed by barracks and strong points for Wianar's personal army. Along the outer walls of the city lie various noble houses, each with its own private army. Arrabar hold enough military might to wreak havoc on any of its neighbors. Though commoners in Arrabar are as wary of wizards as anyone in the Vilhon, Eles Wianar is not, and he has granted the Red Wizards an enclave.
