Emberton

Emberton was founded by gold traders traveling between the western countries and Dhashmiir a couple of centuries ago, and has steadily grown as the gold trade has increased. The white stone mansions of the gold merchants dominate the city. Being the gateway to and from the lands westward for merchants, the city tends to always have exotic and interesting items. If you can't find something you need in another city, chances are you can find it here.
