The second largest city in Breland, Wroat serves as the Brelish capital and a center of trade and commerce. Not as densely populated or as overwhelming as Sharn, Wroat nevertheless holds its own as one of the great cities of Khorvaire. A steep wall encircles the city, wrapping around and crossing over the slow-moving Howling River as they wend westward to join the Dagger River.

Humans and gnomes live here in the greatest numbers, along with significant populations of elves and Khoravar. A large stable community of changelings can be found in the Blackleaf district. All dragonmarked houses have emporiums in the city, and House Medani runs its entire industry from the Tower of Inquisition. The house’s leader has a long and well-known friendship with the king and lends his house’s service to protect the crown from spies and assassins.

Two large temples—one dedicated to the Sovereign Host, the other to the Silver Flame—dominate the Street of Worship. Other impressive structures include Brokenblade Castle, Parliament Hall, the Citadel, the Wroat campus of Morgrave University, and the Galifar Museum.

As the nation’s capital, Wroat is a hotbed of political activity. The aristocracy and the elected members of parliament spend most of their time here, debating the issues of the day and keeping the wheels of government turning. Diplomats from all over the world maintain lodgings and embassies in the city’s Foreign District. The crown operates out of Brokenblade Castle, where King Boranel and his family live and work for a sizable portion of the year. The heads of all the royal agencies also operate out of Wroat, where they can be close to both the king and the parliamentary leaders.

Boranel’s court travels with the king, but it displays all of its grandeur and majesty here in the capital city. Keeping most of the traditions of ancient Galifar alive, the court conducts business, plans festivities, engages entertainment, and otherwise handles the duties of serving the crown and king. The Brelish court is known far and wide for the lavish celebrations it holds, as well as for the fair and just treatment it dispenses to its subjects.

Wroat is also home to Athalus's Tomb, a monument dedicated to Brelish victims of the Mourning.
