Eckland

Eckland is the capital of the Westmarch and is located at the end of the Western Reme Road on the Quail River. The duke’s castle sits on an island in the middle of the river. Both banks of the river have docks for barges going upriver toward the Green Mountains and downriver to the Crescent Sea. Eckland is firmly under the personal control of the duke. He has appointed a city administrant to run the operations of the capital, as well as each of the various magistrates and the captain of the city guard.
The major markets of Westmarch are found here in the city, and so this is the endpoint for merchants and traders traveling the Western Reme Road. The surrounding lands are fertile and well-watered, bringing farmers and cattle ranchers into town to sell their wares.
