Stamistar

Stamistar is a city in the Empire. Close to Lake Bostor, and built around a bridge over one of it's feeding rivers, the River Stam, it is a major component in the Cheyat trade routes. It is the ancestral seat of House Elmarm.

Original Founding
Stamistar and it's lands were granted to Godwyn Elmarm posthumously after the War for the North. A distinguished hero of the war, Godwyn was struck down during the Taking of Lake Bostor. As a sign of good faith, Emperor Alfred the Great gave the newly aquired areas around the lake to his son.

Godwyn's son, Braxton, chose to begin building near the lake. In the area where Stamistar is now, first a keep was erected on the northern bank of the River Stam. Searching for a name for his city, Braxton was inspired by a smudge of light he saw in the night sky. Over the next century, the town of Stamistar grew.

City Foundation
In 330, Emperor Fredrik III granted Stamistar the status of a city, and bid it connected to the Imperial Roadway.
