Kantora is the largest city in Nova Vaasa and one of the largest cities in the Land of Mists with a population of 16,520. It sits on the northwestern most corner of the Kesjermark ("King's Plain") opposite the southwestern most corner of the Ehrendton. It is built on the south bank of the Vaughn Dnar River which is joined just opposite the city by the Dnar River and becomes the South Dnar River. Stonegard, the fortified seat of the Bolshnk family and its patriarch Prince Othmar, sits opposite Kantora at the confluence of the Vaughn Dnar River and the Dnar River from which is born South Dnar River. The South Dnar is navigable, with difficulty owing to its current, from the Nocturnal Sea by small ship, which is to say that a small ship can reach the docks of Kantora. The South Dnar then and and the Vaughn Dnar at this point are too deep to be forded. Bridges consistent with small ships pose an engineering problem, but none are mentioned, so ferry service for crossing at Kantora would make sense. The Prince's Road joins Kantora to Bergovitsa. The East Timori Road joins it to both Ergertus and the Nocturnal Sea to the east and to both Liara and Tepest to the west.
