Kastor

While Kastor glows with hope and confidence, the surrounding duchy of Seragon is a nuisance to the town’s rulers. Kastor is the largest town in Seragon, the duchy governed by the vain Duke Gadramei. He is the youngest of the late king’s many nephews – making him Queen Korinthia’s cousin – and known to be an idle drunkard; characteristics somewhat incompatible with fiscal stability. However, he has made defending against the north a priority, causing many to overlook their duke’s dubious lifestyle.
Today, Kastor is the heart of Seragon’s economy, but the duke himself is ever absent, constantly indulging himself in pleasure and amusement at his palace further south. He visits the town once a year, enticed by the annual spring festival and its carnival (which is almost solely responsible for Kastor’s reputation as a town of decadence and promiscuity), but with that exception, the Council is relatively free to govern its town.
There are more than twelve hundred people living in Kastor, and its demographics have changed in recent years, as conflicts between the barbarian clans of southern Davokar has caused refugees to seek shelter in the town. These people have formed a more or less isolated settlement within the already vast Slum District. As Thistle Hold grows increasingly bureaucratic and difficult to manage, more and more treasure hunters choose Kastor as the base of their expeditions. Another perk of doing so is that fewer ranger patrols are based in Kastor, making it easier to venture into Davokar without a license. This will probably not be the case for long – hence, one should take advantage of the opportunity while it lasts!
The treasure hunters bring riches, but also a degree of public unrest to the town. However, they have caused the town’s blighted north-eastern area to flourish and brought an economic surge to other parts of Kastor as well.
