New Cantor

New Cantor is the capital city of Estoria, and the largest city by size and population in both Estoria and Westaranis. It has a population of about 750,000 covering 50 square miles. New Cantor quickly became the key cultural and economic center of its time due to secure ports that allowed ample trading between Westaranis and Midland.

Located in the Estorian Bay at the mouth of the [Grand River], New Cantor was originally a small port and trading town, which quickly became the primary trade and travel hub for Westaranis. As trade and commerce grew, more ports and residential properties were developed. When the Kingdom of Estoria was established, the Royal Family of Estoria decided to make New Cantor the capital due to the growing influence and wealth of New Cantor.

History
New Cantor was originally a small port and trading town of the same name. Founded shortly after the return to Westaranis by the Aranian Kingdom, New Cantor was not more than a single port and a scattering of shacks and homes.

Architecture
New Cantor has become an iconic city, with songs and poems of note written of it. After the reconstruction of the Grand Central River outlet, some wealthy merchants began commissioning buildings and quarters to be built near or on the water, giving rise to New Cantor's famous canals. Inland and along the coast, workers, large storehouses, shipyards, and businesses thrive. Atop a small, but prominent hill sits jsabv Caslte.
