The small town of Lotheedar is the capital of Meratt County in the Tandak Prefecture of Taldor. The settlement is officially administered by Count Bartelby Lotheed, who holds the position of tribune, although he has delegated most responsibilies to his seneschal, Sir Gul Gusairne.

Geography

Lotheedar is located at a crossroads of both the Dalaston Highway and the North Cassomir Highway upon the banks of Lake Stavian, at the heart of Meratt County.

Inhabitants

Lotheedar is the county's largest trading hub and more prosperous than many of the surrounding communities, due to two very different devotees of Abadar.

One of them is Sir Gul, seneschal of House Lotheed, who is often considered the de facto leader as he administers the day-to-day affairs of the town. A strict enforcer of the law, and some would say an aspiring petty tyrant, Sir Gul has always ensured a substantial share of the taxes he collects is reinvested in the town.

The other is Archbanker Lady Paril, who is the high priest of the local Grand Bank of Abadar and provides a counterbalance to Sir Gul's more despotic tendencies. Some who frequent the town's most popular tavern, The Count's Cravat, whisper that Archbanker Lady Paril might make a much better ruler.
