Aleath is the largest settlement and principal port of the Kingdom of Kanday in southwestern Hârn. Although the city boasts a royal citadel, it is not the seat of the king. In fact, Aleath is a freetown, with a degree of independence granted by a charter from the crown. The city is wealthy, with public squares and beautiful architecture. Its many wide, cobbled avenues are kept remarkably clean and well patrolled. Although its history has sometimes been marred by bloodshed, Aleath has survived and is considered one of the safest and most law-abiding settlements on Hârn. Its elite citizens call their home the “City of Truth and White Virtue.” They believe themselves more cultured than their neighbors and tend to view outsiders as morally bankrupt. Outsiders often regard Aleathians as selfrighteous snobs.
