Kantora
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 along the north bank of the Vaughn Dnar River and the west bank of the 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 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 river crossings would make sense. The Prince's Road joins Kantora to Bergovitsa. The East Timori Road joins it to both Egertus and the Nocturnal Sea to the east along the south shore of the South Dnar and to both Liara and Tepest to the west along the south shore of the Vauhn Dnar.
Buildings
The Prince's Palace is the showy, nigh indefensible seat of the Prince of Nova Vaasa. Prince Othmar avoid it as much as possible, keeping to Stonegard instead.
Stonegard, the fortifed seat of the Bolshnik family, sits opposite Kantora on the north bank of the Vaughn Dnar River and the west bank of the Dnar River.
It is from the Black Citadel-Fane in Kantora that Himmelsk Naeve Pieter Jergaar commands the Iron Faith across the known world.
