Svartrau
Svartrau is the capital and only true city in Vale Sangora, enriched by the silver trade. Merchants and power occupy the surface, while cellars, caves, and ancient structures run below.
Short answer. Players looking for the widest range of specialist merchants should prioritize Svartrau. The city also connects its cathedral, the wealthy Silberkreis district, and Greifberg Castle above.
