Lotheedar, Taldor
At the fork of the Dalaston Highway and the North Cassomir Highway is Lotheedar, the County of Meratt’s capital as well as its most prominent trading hub. The Lotheed family adjudicates the town’s affairs, and owing to the nobles’ historically solid stewardship of the Stavian family’s land, they’re generally respected here. Much of this is owed to the leader of the Lotheeds’ day-to-day affairs, Sir Gul Gusairne, a half-elf who has served as the Lotheed family’s seneschal for two generations. Gul has long ensured that a hefty share of the taxes the family collects has gone into the town’s upkeep, and as a result, Lotheedar is one of the county’s most well-to-do settlements, although it’s not exactly wealthy. There’s a downside to this relative success, however. Gul is a rather strict enforcer for the Lotheeds and also serves as the head of the county’s secret police, ferreting out dissent and conspiracy against the family’s power. Were it not for the steadying hand of Archbanker Lady Paril , a respected member of the Abadaran clergy and leader of the town’s largest temple to the Wealthy Father, Gul may have long ago turned into more of a despot than a seneschal. As it is, Gul’s hardfisted nature leads some to whisper that Lady Paril would be a kinder, more egalitarian leader than the half-elf. Nowhere are those rumors spoken of more loudly than in Lotheedar’s most popular tavern, the Count’s Cravat.
