Hegyar
Where iron meets ocean and sails rise like forests against the grey sky, Hegyar stands as Wescovia’s proud heart of shipbuilding and trade. Brisk, industrious, and salt-worn, the city hums with the endless rhythm of hammer and wave.
Demographics
The permanent residency is primarily made up of humans, goliaths, and dwarves (especially Ironhold traders). Wealthy merchant families dominate the upper class, while longshoremen, shipbuilders, and traders fill the middle and lower classes.
Government
Overseen by the Lord Mayor and the Harbormaster Council, with representatives elected from merchant guilds and shipwrights' unions.
Defences
The port is protected by a robust contingent of the Wescovian militia, as well as private and state security forces protecting foreign ships coming in.
Industry & Trade
Major hub for lumber, fish, ironworks, and crafted goods.
Regular trade with Peyurna's east coast—mainly raw materials out, spices and textiles in.

History
Founded as a fishing village in 970, the city rose to prominence after the unification in 1024 and Wescovian expansion boosted the need for shipbuilding.
Tourism
Limited tourism; most visitors are sailors and traders. However, the Festival of Lanterns (celebrating the sea gods and safe voyages) sometimes attracts pilgrims.
