Qualinost

Qualinost, the Aquatic Capital is the capital city of the Qualinesti Alliance and the seat of its leading noble family, House Riegan.

In modern times, Qualinost is the location of the Qualinesti Alliance Roundtable, where the Five Great Lords representing the Alliance's most powerful noble families convene. The port city is home to numerous factories, and prospers thanks to its ability to produce goods and export them by sea.

House Riegan resides in Qualinost and claims all of the surrounding territory as its domain. Sometime after the Holy Kingdom of Solamnia annexed the region of Qualinesti from the Adrestian Empire in Year 155 A.C., it elevated House Riegan to the rank of duke. The Riegans retained this title even after instigating the Crescent Moon War of 207 A.C. against the Kingdom and helping to found the Qualinesti Alliance in 227 A.C.. Due to their leading role in the Alliance's independence, the other nobles of Qualinesti granted the Riegans the responsibility of leading the Qualinesti Alliance Roundtable.
