Alekir

Alekir
Alekir is the largest city in Ale'kamor, boasting a population of over 24,000 people. The king of Ale'kamor rules from here, though in name only as the reach of the city has been hampered since the war almost 150 years ago. The current king, Rarder Olsten, has ruled for nearly 22 years, and has a reputation as fair and just. A popular king in his youth, he lost favor over the years as the population grew stagnant. Aside the Olsten family, there are seven other noble families of notable power within the city; Navarr, Valetta, Penrod, Hasting, Hawklight, Cett, and Faircaster.

Alekir is most well known to those outside of Ale’kamor as the most southern port along the Mordal Sea. Further south begins the Sea of Snow, an icy and unforgiving body of water that makes most travel impossible

Royal Family
House Olsten is the current reigning royal house, and has reigned since the Civil War/ Though all of the great Noble Houses theoretically have a rightful claim to the throne (having all supposedly descended from a common ancestor), right of kingship and royal blood can be proven by attuning to the relic, Aleyashir's Shield.
