Oestre
As long as an organized nation-state has existed on the peninsula of Matagost, Oestre has served as its capital. Built with double concentric walls, first in earth and wood and later replaced in stone, the piedmont of the city still serves as the location of the Lord’s Palace and the marble columns of the city’s chief temple, currently dedicated to Sefagreth, God of Commerce. Other prominent temples in town include those dedicated to the soldiers’ deities of Mithras and Tykee, the Patroness of Luck. The citizens of Oestre are primarily of the native Foerdewaith stock, many with the blood of the Heldring in them from their invasions of long ago, but there are also many folk of Oceanus (also Foerdewaith but with the olive skin common to the natives of that island) who have relocated here to find their fortunes since the city fell under Oceander control. Oestre is open to trade and travel, but entry and exit are strictly monitored, and the watch is always on the lookout for spies from distant Foere.
