By many accounts, Rel Astra (literally, "City of the Heavens") is the Flanaess' greatest metropolis. Its walled wards and reaching towers call to people like a shining beacon. Its expansive markets display half the wonders of the world, and people of all races and creeds tread its streets.
    Lord Drax styles himself an enlightened despot, commanding a large standing army and navy. He rules with wisdom and austerity, but with an iron fist. Drax desires to absorb the Sea Barons into the Solnor Compact and unify them into a coastal kingdom with Rel Astra and its capital.
