Port Tresteau

Port Tresteau is a coastal city west of Lansing. Located on the delta of the River Channerel, this city is dangerously close to the thieves and pirates that ravage that part of the Final Empire. The local noble houses have assumed a truce, of sorts (at least, at surface level) to help keep their city safe, supplementing the already impressive Ministry defenses with their own house forces. However, just because there's a truce in place, doesn't mean you shouldn't watch your back there. Trestians might not assassinate their enemies as brazenly as citizens of Luthadel do, but their enemies just as often seem to meet with "unfortunate" accidents, such as falling off the docks in the middle of the night onto the sharp rocks below.

Port Tresteau is also the Final Empire's artistic haven. The warm climate, exotic imports from the Southern Islands, and proximity to pirates and mortal danger have served as inspiration for artists, writers, and musicians for centuries. House Lekal is based here.
