The capital of New Galifar and the seat of King Sebastes, Newthrone is the largest city and port in Q’barra. Myriad people from all over Khorvaire mingle here in crowded streets. Soldiers pay little heed to the rampant crime in these streets, viewing it instead as part of life in the port city.
A port city on the mouth of the Whitecliff River, where the river empties into Adder Bay, Newthrone is the largest city in Q’barra. It is also the seat of government for King Sebastes ir’Kesslan (LG male human, aristocrat 4/ranger 1) and the community of New Galifar. Like all New Galifar communities, Newthrone is heavily fortifi ed; over the past thirty years, it has repelled multiple attacks by Lhazaar pirates and the lizardfolk of the Cold Sun Tribes. While the city contains outposts devoted to many of the dragonmarked houses, more travelers and merchants hail from the Lhazaar Principalities and Riedra than from the inland nations of Khorvaire. Although not as grand and full of history as the great cities of the Five Nations, Newthrone has been built to replicate the architecture of old Galifar. In some ways, it looks like a small portion of Cyre or Breland has been picked up, polished, and dropped in the Q’barran jungle.
This fortified port stands where the Adder River meets Adder Bay. Newthrone is built on the model of the great cities of old Galifar. No hostile force has ever breached its walls.
The city offers all the amenities of central Khorvaire, including house enclaves and businesses, in particular those of Jorasco and Ghallanda. Alongside these enterprises, merchants and crafters from lizardfolk tribes, dragon born clans, and the Lhazaar Principalities work and trade. Newthrone even has a small Riedran ward, which only the folk of that land have access to.
