Castmia Province
The province of Castmia is located along the northern coast of Dercia, enjoying that it has both a harbour located in the capital of the province of Hanum that are a popular place for merchants to trade in, and that the Continental highway runs through the province and with it comes all the benefits of merchants which have in return made the province a reasonably profitable one.
In the last 200 years, the province has been ruled by the emperor or empress of the empire, but in 1283, the province was given to Prince Osril as his province to get him away from the capital and limit his schemes.
The province is characterized by numerous small towns and villages scattered across the province, with only four reaching a population of over 10.000, being Hanum, Sleetfall, Rezsad, and Clifrost. However, there is a town that, at certain times each year, will get a population of over 30.000, and this is Willow. This small town makes the foundation for several holy places dedicated to a number of the lesser deities of the Starlighters Pantheon.
