Description

Many refer to Gaston as a glorified town. They are not to far off as there are towns on Dwilight that are more prosperous than Gaston, notably the nearby townsland of Under Darfix. What has set Gaston apart is her palace and her central location. The palace, now home to the duchal seat, is of a grandeur rarely seen outside of the richest of cities. The structure is made entirely of white sandstone, it's towers topped with golden domes. Many who come to Gaston from the south cannot help but compare it to the palace in Golden Farrow, the two are said to be almost identical. It is clear one is a replica of the other, though it is not known which is the original. This has lead to Gaston also being referenced as a miniature Golden Farrow, a name which does not hold up beyond the palace.

Geography

Gaston sits at the southern end of the rich farmlands of the mid-north-west. To the north, west, and east are farmlands as far as the eye can see.

History

Infrastructure

Gaston has long served as a center of trade. Located in the middle of the north of the western continent of Dwilight it sits dead in the middle of the trade route between Darfix and Gelene. Most of the city is dedicated to facilitating this trade, and its traders. Surrounded by rich farmland, Gaston has also served as a center of commerce to the people of these lands, making up the rest of the city's income.
