Gascar is a city in Kellan, on the eastern coast of Lanad i'Sarois. Located about five hundred miles north along the shore of the Golden Ocean from Morelenas, Gascar is located just south of the border of Mentoncha, just a short distance south of Mentemar.
Government
Gascar is the central city of the White Alliance duchy of the same name. Its current mayor is Ral Brahalst, who is also officially the Duke of Gascar, a position he was granted on the death of Jayar Telva two years ago. He considers himself a caretaker duke, however, and continues to seek either an heir of the Telva family, or someone else to take over running the region. Castle Telva, on the south bank of the Laburnum, sits empty with the exception of a small maintenance staff.
The city is also home to a division of the White Army, with a particular focus on naval defense. The garrison's captain, Vilthuril Rose, is an old friend of Brahalst, who served as captain prior to inheriting his title.
Commerce
Gascar is an important port city, as sits at the mouth of the Laburnum River, with most of the city on the northern bank. It has a thriving sea trade, especially with the nearby Medici Islands. Two major roads -- the Shore Road from the south and Morelenas and Mellon's Road from the west and Rabk -- carry goods to Gascar from across southern Kellan.
Culture
Gascar has something of a reputation as a seaside resort community, where many nobles go to relax. There are four main temples within the city dedicated to the faiths of Morelen, Bassik, Liyyera, and Losyera.
