St. Callain

St. Callain is the second largest city in Sinyasule.

It functions as the seat of the new Callain monarchy, the suzerain of the Sinyasule Protectorate. As such, it is considered the de-facto capital city of the nation.

Built as a massive fortified city along the Orestes River, the city continues to expand as it population grows. Due to the condensed nature of it's layout, the city often builds taller buildings rather than expand outward. That is not to say that the city does not expand, but it does so strictly eastward along the Orestes. The newer additions of the city have been found to be of a lower quality. It is unclear if this is due to the lower income citizens moving into the city not having access to better building materials, or those same people being drawn to lower rents charged in the tightly packed districts.

The centre of town is considered the area of Lake Hyperion. Lake Hyperion is an artificial lake created with the help of arcane means, bolstered by Water Elemental magic. It was originally created to serve as a massive cistern for the city in times of siege. During the many years of peace after the war, it has become the business and trade district for the city. This bustling trade district serves as the hub of trade for a large amount of eastward trade in Sinyasule. Small transport ships that travel along the Orestes more often than not have Lake Hyperion as their final destination. As this is also the main hub of surface trade for the Dwarven city of Maz'Carne Lake Hyperion plays home to a large dwarven population. It is the second largest population of surface dwelling dwarves after the city of Greyhaven.
