Located on a sizable island more than 100 square miles in size, Hearthpoint is the duchy’s trading gem. With a deep natural harbor, it is one of the safest anchoring points on the northeastern coast. Despite constant pirate harassment and harsh weather, the city thrives on trade, shipbuilding, and mineral exports. Its stone docks, ring walls, and war galleys make it a fortress-isle in its own right.
Ruler
Countess Sereda Flintmere is a seasoned leader with salt in her blood and fire in her eyes. Once an heiress and socialite, she was constantly underestimated until her father died. She rose in prowess and reputation as a stateswoman, and she rules Hearthpoint with the precision of a captain running a ship. Her navy works to keep pirates in check, and her ports bustle with trade from across Eryndor and beyond. She has no patience for mainland politics, but she keeps a keen eye on rising threats and rising tides alike.
