Arlton

Arlton is the regional capital of the Avalonian Lowlands. The city is situated on the Marsh Road, along the coast of the Corsair Sea. Arlton is the ancestral seat of House Blackmont, and is currently ruled by Lord Corvus Blackmont. The city is built upon dense marshes and swamplands, however, the city has succeeded in spite of its locale and climate.

The main city is surrounded by a wall, manned by the Arlton City Watch. Given the unstable foundations of the Lowlands, the city has no roads. Instead, buildings are built upon sturdier patches of land, and connected via low wooden bridges. The city has since grown beyond its wall, with poorer residents living in shanty towns outside the city proper.

Arlton is the only port city in eastern Avalon, making it a popular destination for merchant galleys from the Sarhep Caliphate, and the Republic of Tidewell. Fearing the unfriendly nature of the local Avalonians, foreign visitors rarely leave the waterfront. In order to placate the merchants of Arlton, House Blackmont also maintains the Arlton Harbor Guard, a wholly separate entity from the city watch.
