Fairhaven

The city of Fairhaven is the largest in Aundair and the seat of royal power. The city, only recently deemed the capital when the original capital Thaliost fell to Thrane in 977 CY, is always abustle with activity. Founded soon after humanity spread across Khorvaire, Fairhaven is a city with a rich history. The capital features straight roads and tidy buildings, with tree-lined neighborhoods, manicured parks, and statues depicting great leaders and heroes. Grand universities fill city blocks, teeming with students and scholars. Great temples dedicated to the Sovereign Host, mage towers, museums, and more give the city a refined atmosphere. Fairhaven is also Aundair’s commercial crossroad. All the dragon marked houses have enclaves here, and caravans from all across the Five Nations arrive regularly. Overhead, elemental airships drift through the clouds, descending to dock at the sky tower, while elemental galleons prowl the Aundair River, laden with goods being conveyed to and from distant ports. Merchants and traders wheel and deal with skeptical peasants from the surrounding farmlands in Fairhaven’s numerous marketplaces. The Distant Exchange, a bustling market specializing in foreign goods, provides silks, exotic consumables, and brilliant artwork from faraway lands, catering tothe city’s elite. Above all, Fairhaven is a city of learning. Schools ranging from single classrooms to sprawling universities are home to students from all cultures and races. This crucible produces regular advances in philosophy, magic, sciences, and commerce. Fairhaven’s reputation for scholarship makes education its greatest industry.
