The City of Alestia serves as the capital of Alestia, as well as a magnet for those interested in the Arts and Thaumaturgical Sciences. It is the most cosmopolitan city in all of Farne, with embassies from nearly every other country. Elves and dwarves are occasionally seen on its streets, as are denizens of more exotic human lands.
Adhering to the letter rather than the spirit of the law, the city has become markedly more corrupt in the last few hundred years. Since the ascendancy of Aya in AR3345 more than 1000 years ago, the city has become far darker and moew vice ridden than its founder would have believed possible. The decadence, creeping in by degrees and chastised by a handful of virtuous electors, has established itself in the hearts of most citizens, and is unlikely to depart in the future.
