Batesaor

The city of Batesaor was once the capital of the Republic of Batesaor. Now it is in control of the Principality of Zonasa.

Duke Alexi Ilwaukim lords over the city.

An ancient port city, Batesaor's narrow winding streets harbor a bewildering variety of peoples and goods from throughout the know world and beyond. Virtually anything can be bought and sold in its bazaars and alleyways if one has enough gold to spend - and is brave enough. Historically known as a pirate haven, Batesaor's people scoff at the pejorative connotations and pride themselves in their independence and entrepreneurial spirit.

Batesaor's streets wind their way up the surrounding hills from a deep natural harbor. The colorfully-painted stucco walls of the narrow three and four-floor townhouses of Batesaor's mercantile families loom over the crowded streets. An old but serviceable breakwater guards the harbor and holds a towering white stone lighthouse at its northernmost tip overlooking the harbor entrance. The harbor faces north across the estuary at Batesaor's ancestral rival, [Far East/Zonasa City|Zonaza City].

Batesaor is known for it's shady characters, grimy bars, and loose women.
