The Galtan city of Azurestone takes its name from a the massive blue menhir that towers 100 feet above the town. Located on the plains north of the Boarwood, Azurestone has been relatively isolated from Galt's revolutionary fervor until recently. The stone is an object of religious reverence to the dwarves of the nearby Fog Peaks, who believe it to be a spear that was thrown down from Heaven in prehistoric times by their patron god Torag.
Despite the zeal gripping the rest of Galt, Azurestone has managed to retain relative stability since the days of the Golden Council. They hold consistent elections and mayoral power has passed peacefully. Their current mayor, Brahm Freddart, often ignores the Revolutionary Council's orders, only enforcing decrees when Goss deems it important enough to send a military detachment to demand compliance.
The people of Azurestone view those from Isarn as bloodthirsty animals. They believe the capital's residents are so lost in their own insatiability that they've forgotten the whole reason the Revolution began in the first place.
The home of one of the fathers of the revolution, the famous author of On Government Darl Jubanich, that helped spark the Red Revolution. Woodsedge has always served as a fertile ground for dissident thought and radical philosophies in Galt.
Due to the invasion of the Council of Enlightenment, Woodsedge has drawn harsh scrutiny from Korran Goss. It's known he has agents in Woodsedge, with some dissident leaders vanishing in the night, eventually reappearing beneath one of the Final Blades. They believe Goss is stifling their revolutionary spirit, with conversations previously made in public now being whispered in taverns.
The citizens of Woodsedge bear much ill will towards Korran Goss, but are divided on the citizens of Isarn. Some feel that Woodsedge's ability to weather the Revolution's cycles and their status as the home of Darl Jubannich means that Woodsedge deserves to be the seat of the revolution. Others simply pity their fellow countrymen, living in a city ravaged by many upheavals.
The city of Edme, in the easternmost reaches of Galt north of the Boarwood. Edme's recent history is particularly tragic, even by Galtan standards. Edme took pride at the beginning of the Red Revolution as the home of Hossetter, the half-elf philosopher that penned Imperial Betrayal. A few short years later, Hossetter was detained within Torvin Academy, reduced to a prison when the Rane Council took power. He eventually met his end by Razor Jenni, which now sits in the middle of the Academy's quad. Losing both Hosseter and their iconic university at once was a massive blow to Edme.
There was renewed hope years later when the Red Raven began to patrol the crime-ridden streets of Edme. After years as Edme's guardian, the Red Raven left the city to begin his blood campaign against the Cabinet of Skulls. When the Red Raven did not return to Edme after Korran Goss took power, the citizens of Edme were crushed anew. Edme now exists in a state of true lawlessness, lacking the will to assemble even the most basic government operations.
Litran is a Galtan city located in the center of the country along the Stormflood River. Today it is best known for being the headquarters of the mysterious executioners known as the Grey Gardeners. Due to their presence, Litran is one of the most stable cities in the nation, but this stability comes at a price. The Grey Gardeners effectively have total control of the city and even relatively minor infractions are met with severe punishments. These punishments are rarely doled out, Bloody Jaine's presence in the village square is a constant reminder what happens to lawbreakers. Though a town council officially holds power, it always yields to the will of the Gardeners.
Originally known as an agricultural hub for its numerous mills and river access, many of the mills were destroyed in the early days of the Revolution. The Gardeners, realizing that protecting food was vital, chose Litran as their base of operations. With the strict order enforced by the Gardeners, and the restoration of some mills, the people of Litran do not suffer the crippling poverty seen elsewhere in Galt.
Many Galtans have come and gone from Litran in the past few decades. Citizens who choose liberty over security find themselves fleeing the oppressive presence of the Gardeners. In contrast, others from Isarn or other ravaged parts of Galt make their homes in Litran to find stability.
Though Tregan is formally within Galt's borders, its status is more complicated. The village is occupied by a garrison of Taldan soldiers, and serves as a refugee camp for those fleeing the Revolution. The Taldan garisson does not guarantee safety in Tregan. Refugees have been abducted, and at times the Grey Gardeners or the Galtan military have mustered enough force to demand those hiding in the town.
Sullus Cicato, the captain of the Taldan garrison has declared martial law. Despite military rule, Sullus has a relatively light touch, only cracking down when there is a threat to order. Many in Tregan are simply happy to keep their heads and don't wish to be expelled from the village.
The as capital of Imperial Galt, Isarn, swelled throughout the Age of Enthronement. As the ruling class became richer and the city grew more industrious, the rustic town of Halvon became l'endroit chic. For 200 years, from 4424 until the Revolution began, the small town of Halvon was built and rebuilt. Lavish manors in the high hillocks, and the crummy low-town there to serve the elite's every wish.
When bloody revolution began, the simple serving-folk of this quiet holiday town turned savage, and painted their old homes in the blood of their former masters. By the time the Grey Gardeners arrived to establish order, the lavish homes were completely overtaken and all the nobles dead.
Halvon today is often thought of as savage even among Galtans. The residents of the mansions-turned-tenements clash with one another for resources, but have participated under certain councils if they feel respected.
Stavintower is a moderately sized farming and logging town located on the Kantele river. It is a critical for Galtan supply line, connecting the cities of the Boarwood to the rest of Galt. When the Cabinet of Skulls's connection to evil magic was revealed, the citizens of Stavintower began the most violent strike since the early days of the Revolution. Despite the Cabinet of Skulls' swift removal, the strike continued. As soon as he was appointed, Goss mobilized the army and took hold of Stavintower. Considering the city too important to strike, Stavintower is now a forced labor camp with constant military oversight.
The tiny town of Dabril can be found on the Sellen River, just south of Kallas Lake. Dabril was formerly known for its exquisite flower fields and world class perfumer's guild, despite the town's minuscule size. Today, the town has become home base to many of the river pirates that terrorize the Sellen. Much coin passes through Dabril, but one is as likely to earn coins doing business with pirates passing through as they are to have it stolen by them.
The inhabitants of Gralton consist almost entirely of people who have fled the ongoing revolution (some would say anarchy) in Galt. Many of those who have fled to Gralton are the old nobility of Galt. Deposed and fallen from grace, they desperately seek any means to regain what they have lost, be it by sponsoring counter-revolutionary activity, or sending parties of hapless adventurers back into Galt to search for family heirlooms left behind in the rush to escape the guillotine's blade. As the desperation of the deposed nobility grew, Gralton began to attract con-artists and tricksters.
