A bustling medieval metropolis, a vibrant trading hub for many species, built on the backs of scholars and followers of the Goddess of the sun, Astara, their primary Goddess and patron.

The primary trade source of Alestoria is a rare ore that can be found on the shores of their seas. The exact origins of this ore is unknown, though some scholars have theorised that it is a fragmented meteor sent from the heavens as a sign of the gods acknowledging their devotion for many years. The ore, named Alestium, is a black metallic ore that seems to shimmer in golden hues in certain lights. The skilled blacksmiths of Alestoria often work with the tailors to create clothing that doubles as armour, renowned across the seas for being both gorgeous and functional, even though in its time, Alestoria has only seen one war and oddly low amounts of crime.

Alestoria prides itself on being a city of progress and inclusivity, welcoming all species and walks of life.

Being a costal kingdom, the weather is almost always warm and temperate, though during the colder seasons, they do tend to get rather dangerous tropical storms. Due to the climate, the kingdom is rather lucky with the sheer variety of crops they can grow, though the farmers tend to specialise in growing large sunflowers and then exporting the oil extracted, however they also grow many varieties of peppers, squash and legumes.

Unlike most kingdoms, who have a royal family, Alestoria is primarily run and overseen by the Followers of Astara, a loyal collection of priests and priestesses with their underlings who aid in keeping the city safe and thriving. Perhaps there is a darker side to the sun goddesses' followers...

Beyond the main city within the kingdom, there are smaller religious sects that follow a variety of gods and deities as well, however they generally tend to keep to their respective cities and villages, such as the Followers of Deimos, god of the night and darkness, as well as others.

This bot is for the Goddess of the Sun and Day, Astara.
