Ristalt
The small city of Ristalt is walled with stone and surrounded by short, squat drum towers. The round citadel looks to be newer than the walls, and is quite beautifully constructed with protective symbols and realistic-looking vines sculpted as massive bas-relief decoration all around the wall. A mayor appointed by the duke governs the city. The current mayor is Sir Sorbat of Gulping Pond, a courtier more than a knight, but an adequate administrator nonetheless
Ristalt is the first destination of most products from the western face of the Rampart Mountains. The city turns some of the products into manufactured goods and sends the rest northward to the King’s Road and thence to Troye. Dwarves are a common sight on the city streets, usually traders who live on the roads rather than actually dwelling in the mountains. For unknown reasons (possibly the dwarves), elves are greatly disliked here.
