Yartar
Yartar is a growing trading town along Evermoor Way, connecting Triboar and Silverymoon. Since it lies on the east bank of the River Surbrin, it also benefits from some of the river trade. A small trail follows the river north, past the Evermoors, to the ruins of what was once the town of Nesmé.
Government
The city is ruled by a Waterbaron, elected for life. The current Waterbaron is Nestra Ruthiol.
Defences
There are about 150 members of the Shield of Yartar dedicated to the defence of the city. It is possible to recruit half again that number at just a day's notice or so, should the city really need it. Most of the standing forces are based out of the Shield Tower on the west bank of the river.
Industry & Trade
There is a standing trade agreement with Goldenfields to provide food for the city in return for a constant supply of gold.
Assets
As a part of their trade, Yartar is well known for its barges that travel along the river. In this way, they nearly completely dominate the Surbrin.
There are also multiple successful trading companies with their headquarters in Yartar, such as Lionshield Coster.
Guilds and Factions
Yartar is a member of The Lords' Alliance and that doesn't seem to change anytime soon. Both the Harpers and the Zhentarim operate more or less openly in the city, but are left alone by the government unless they risk hurting the city as a whole.
