The City of Laketon

Laketon is located in the Kingdom of Saklan in the Land of Westrun. It is home of The Council and the kingdom's monarch.

Laketon is known for its market in fresh-water fish and turtles, as well as its production of both walnut ink and reed paper. All of which is dependent on the flora which grows around Lake Tarn.

The City on the Lake is best known for its lack of walls and its abundance of tall glittering spires. Having been built upon massive sunken timber pilings, Laketon is an artificial island, that some say hovers on the mist. Laketon has no bridges which connect it to the shore, so all traffic must come over on small boats and ferries (some magical) which run during all hours of the day and night. Free of horses, and meticulously landscaped, Laketon is widely recognized as the cleanest human habitation known.

Sometimes also called the Floating City it generally seems to ride on the morning mist which covers Lake Tarn. It is also known as the Sleepless City and sometimes called the City of Lights. For among the gifts it has received from its resident wizards are the pitchless lamps set at regular intervals along the city streets. At night the city appears to be lit by a thousand stars descended from the heavens.

The Half-elven King Gladfiolas and the Wizards Otto, Rary, Mordenkainen, Llorloveim, and Sirillian are the most noteworthy residents.
