Saltcaster

Saltcaster is the capital and largest settlement of Cornumbra. It was once the seat of the Monarchy of Cornumbra but since their tragic deaths twenty years ago it has been ruled by a reeve from the Balt family.

City Description
Saltcaster is an old port town that has seen far more prosperous and varied days. In the past it was a place of general trade but now primarilly acts as a holiday destination for the wealthy of Decester and Rutshire. The city is divided into three loose districts; Oldcaster, Painter Hill, and Summering.

Saltcaster Castle
The twisted and scorched remains of the ancient castle of Saltcaster hang over the town as a dark reminder of its recent past. Twenty years ago a freak accident caused a fire to rapidly spread throughout the castle, immolating what remained of the monarchy of Cornumbra. The grounds are still used from time to time as a place for festivals.

Etymology
Saltcaster is named for the salty sea air and its historical fort (caster deriving from the infernal word for fort).
