City of Wessridge
The City of Wessridge is the ancient seat of the Grand Barony of Wessridge and the ancestral home of the baronic branch of the House of Maxalli. With a population of 14,000 souls, it is the regional seat of authority and a center of busniess and trade in northern Imesse.
The city skyline is dominated by the red towers of the Redstone Keep. The Keep was the ancestral home of the Grand Barons for generations, and is one of the few remaining buildings that predate the devestation brought on by the The Second Great Orc War in 146 AF. While still a functioning castle (although quite dated and in some disrepair), it has been replaced as the Baron's primary residence by the palace at Barony Court.
