Gweirlaen

The city of Gweirlaen is the only major settlement within the county of Bheline, Ghoere.

Description
Nestled against the small lake, it has grown in recent years as people flee the wartorn lands and seek the safety of its walls. The city is ruled by Count Cardael, an elderly man who rules the city with an iron grip, enforcing the law through his heavy-handed soldiers with the cooperation of the Militant Order of Cuiraecen.
