Estria's Crown

The Capital of Aldamar

Nestled atop a rise where the rivers Alwyn and Dorvan converge, Estria’s Crown is a shimmering monument to the legacy of the Camden Empire and the strength of Aldamar’s modern rule. White-stone towers reach skyward like blades of light, their bases wrapped in ivy and adorned with banners bearing the sigil of House Branwyne. Wide boulevards of polished granite and flower-laden balconies give way to elegant plazas, scholarly halls, and bustling marketplaces. From its gilded gates to its soaring spires, Estria’s Crown blends ancient grandeur with vibrant, everyday life.

This is a city where marble statues of old heroes gaze down on laughing children, and incense from distant lands drifts past knights in polished armor. Whether you seek knowledge, trade, beauty, or glory— Estria’s Crown offers it all.
