Wroat

Built on both sides of the Howling River at a point where the river widens, the ancestral seat of the rulers of Hosuth seduces visitors with its tree-lined avenues, elegant drawbridges, cleanliness, and laid-back atmosphere.  Perched on a rocky island in the middle of the river, surrounded by military docks and barracks, is Brokenblade Castle, the king's stern fortress.

In contrast to its welcoming countenance, Wroat casts dark shadows, and much goes on quietly behind closed doors.  The absence of beggars and riff-raff in the streets might also raise suspicion that Wroat is putting on appearances.  The King's Dark Lanterns are ever vigilant here, and newcomers who aim to misbehave tend to disappear quickly and without so much as a whisper.

Wroat is where the original city of Hosuth stood in the Third Age.
