Geography

Located in between two great rivers,the riverKetteel to the north and the river Appomac to the south, with access to the [[Dagrae Inner Sea] in the west and Millpeak to the north, Westshire has a natural fortification around itself.

Westshire has grown rapidly over the last 200 years which resulted in expansion of the city borders over the two branches of the Ketteel and the Appomac. These branch rivers provide access to the Dagrea Inner Sea and many ship lofts are build around the wider areas of these rivers. The center of Westshire has a fortress on a protuding rock called `The Boulder`. On the boulder is also where the universities are located. Various academies, markets, shops, temples and shops are located around `The Boulder`. Close to the coast there are some docks and on the outskirts of the city near the water are also some fisheries located. Surrounding Westshire there is farmland on which food and resources for the shiplofts are being produced.
