Lake Istobal

Named for King Istobal-Alcacé, who led Alcaldar in its first steps to empire, Lake Istobal is home to the capital city of San Caseo and the beginning of the channel. Here ships stop for inspection and to pay the necessary fees, and then begin their journeys up the Sangre River. They may stop either at the dock at San Caseo or at Fortress Elduain at the entrance to the river. Patrol boats carry inspectors who stop every ship entering the channel to be sure everything is in order and give them tokens that allow them passage through the locks. At night, a chain is raised across the river entrance (or exit, for ships traveling west) to be sure that no one passes through without the empire’s knowledge and authorization.
