From the introduction: Aleath is the largest settlement and principal port of the Kingdom of Kanday. Besieged and sacked by followers of the Theocracy of Tekhos in 572, many sections of the city have been entirely rebuilt over the past century. Although not as large as it once was, modern Aleath comes close to its old reputation. The city contains many wide avenues and some beautiful architecture, such as the Palace of Masks and the Temple of Larani. All of the streets are cobbled and kept remarkably clean.
