Hasare

Hasare is not only the largest city in the Heashlands, it is the second largest city in the world. This came out of necessity more than popularity though. It is right on the east coast of the continent. And is known for many things, the greatest of which is the Tolerien Lighthouse.

The Tolerien Lighthouse is half a mile tall with lights every 500 feet. It is one of the great man made wonders of the world. It’s beams can be seen as far inland as the Gorbus Ring, and no ship has made it far enough into the ocean to report its reach in that direction.

The greatest mystery lies in its creation. No one knows who built it or how they built it. Early settlers simply stumbled upon it and set up camp in and around it. That is how Hasare was formed. Fishing boats started arriving to sell their goods. Because of the strong beam people in the Heashlands could even find it.

This city built and built upon itself until it became the trade depot it is today. Over 100,000 residents call Hasare their home. But that number fluctuates daily by roughly a thousand with visitors. The land area of the city is roughly 30 sq. miles. You can find just about anything in this city. From every kind of store, restaurants, bars, brothels, hotels, and blacksmiths.

Policing such a large populous is difficult. There are on average 300 active lawmen within the city. These lawmen have judge and jury rights to help maintain order. Their word is law and can only be challenged by another sheriff in the court system. As dysfunctional as this system might sound, it works. Hasare might be a rough place, but compared to the rest of the Heashlands, it is quite civil.
