Saldalemi (SAL DALE MEE)
Saldalemi is a relatively new settlement for vast Elowean Plateau where cities have their starts going back hundreds of years or even to the Age of Myth. It was founded roughly 300 years ago by a local lord seeking nothing more than a personal retreat. It soon became recognized as a rest for traders safe from bandits. This brought more visitors, which bought more wealth, which soon was invested in guard and various services catering to passing merchants. This in turn attracted people to provide services to those providing services, and thus the lord's lands became one of the more prosperous independent trade cities on the plateau. Traders seeking to do business in Timer or Elow typically pass through Saldalemi.
