Description
Seaton is a heavily fortified, drab fortress.
History
Founding
Imperial era
Recent history
Some years ago, Seaton was razed in an attack by pirates and slavers. Around one thousand refugees left for the nearby town of Saltmarsh, resulting in a period of significant growth for that settlement, which had numbered only around 2,000 in population before.[2]
Geography
Seaton is located within the Viscounty of Salinmoor, a southern province of Keoland upon the Azure Sea. It is twenty miles west along the coast to the fishing town of Saltmarsh.[3] Further along the coastline is Gradsul, a much larger and more important port city.
Seaton is south of the Dreadwood, which spans the isolates Seaton from the rest of Keoland, limiting its value as a port city and hampering its political influence in Niole Dra. It is precariously close to the Hool Marsh, inhabited by numerous lizardfolk and other dangerous creatures; and the land of the Sea Princes across the sea to the south.

Government
The governor, Duke Marik Feldren, rules over all the southern province, which includes Seaton. Marik is a sheltered hothead who wants to surpass the legacy of his brother, the war hero Obertus Feldren, who was originally appointed by King Kimbertos Skotti.
Seaton is the capital of the Viscounty of Salinmoor. As of 591 CY, the Viscounty was ruled by Viscount Cronin Secunforth, a human fighter.[6]
Military
Seaton has a large garrison of naval, infantry and cavalry units, which serve as the primary defense of the area.
