St. Alene

The Gateway to the Capital
St. Alene lies at the foot of the mountains housing the city capital, the port itself nestled against the mountains and only reached after sailing through twisting fjords. As said, St. Alene is an extremely tiny town, and exists as not much more than a resting point before continuing to the capital above.

Still, the town is not without its charms. The entire village is on one main street, with docks lining the coast and various stables for carriage trips at the far west side of the village. Several establishments line the village's main--and only--street, consisting of a few small inns, cozy restaurants and lounges, a tiny bookstore, and a general store. Narrow stairways lead up the mountain side behind these shops, leading to the few permanent houses in the village.

While it may be a gateway to the country's capital, St. Alene does not see too much activity. Most visitors enter the country by airship, and only those who aren't in a hurry take the long voyage by ship to enter the tiny town. Even less often do people actually stay in the few inns the village has to offer, unless weather or time prevents a carriage from beginning the several-hour trek to Mont des Anges.
