If Al’ar was a unified state, then Tempestat would be its capital. This city of 50,000 is smaller than other metropolises of the Beast World, but its docks stretch along a staggering breadth of the shore. Tempestat makes an inland journey instead of a Storm Voyage, which is a factor in its sprawling size. The bouncing rhythm of life and active music scene on its crowded streets attract a certain sort of life-loving islander.
The city of Tempestat is huge, but the docks aren’t any farther from the shore. This elongated layout makes quick sailing between locations more important. The Tempestat Windstring is a popular magic item, which most natives carry and a visitor can borrow. When tied around the mast of a sail- boat, it fills the sail with enough wind to carry it through the city at a fast clip. The Windstring only works within a quarter mile or so of the docks, but it’s an invaluable tool for exploring the staggeringly long city.
