A vibrant city in North Breland, located on the eastern bank of the Silver River, where the waters of Silver Lake flow into Lake Galifar. The city’s name is derived from the ancient Dhakaani city of Xandrar, the 5000+ year old ruins of which can be found on the western riverbank and along several miles of the lakeshore. Xandrar is a key hub for trade with the Eldeen Reaches, and small barges regularly traverse the lake, maintaining connections with Aundair.
Xandrar was once a Thranish city, but it changed hands during the Last War. This historical shift has left a significant cultural and ethnic Thranish influence in the city.
The culture of Xandrar is a rich tapestry woven from its diverse history and the influences of the various peoples who have called it home. The city’s Thranish roots are still evident in many aspects of daily life, from the cuisine to the religious practices of its inhabitants. Thrakel spiced food, a culinary tradition from Thrane, is a common sight in the city’s bustling food markets and eateries. The city’s populace also displays a high degree of religiosity, with numerous temples and shrines scattered throughout the city, serving as testament to its spiritual diversity.
Xandrar’s strategic location on the eastern bank of the Silver River makes it a bustling hub of trade and commerce. The city’s docks are a hive of activity, with barges regularly arriving from the Eldeen Reaches and Aundair, laden with goods for trade. The city’s markets are a vibrant blend of colors, sounds, and scents, with merchants selling everything from exotic spices and textiles to magical trinkets and artifacts.
Noteable locations in Xandrar include The Church of the Silver Flame, Temple of the Sovereign Host, Mayor Garrit Tomraan’s Manor, The Guard House, Countess Yassiv ir’Oeskai’s Mansion, The Thrakel Nightfall Market, and The Assembly Shoppes.
