Main: Kaliteth | Barony of Tregenhor
The town of Ralmorhegg (ral-more-heg), capital of the Barony of Tregenhor, of the Kingdom of Turthann, is the largest human settlement on Kaliteth, with a population estimated to be a little over three thousand. Besides being the home and seat of authority for the Baron of Tregenhor, the town is home to many of the noble families of the barony, the most talented tradesmen, and several prominent organizations, such as the Church of the Divines, Turthann Merchant Guild, Mingralt Trade Guild and the scholars of the House of Kaliteth Exploration and Survey.
History
On the 21st of Naffiodhiol, 711, following the earlier discover of Kaliteth, a company of soldiers, explorers and scholars arrived at the southeastern most point of Kaliteth, the closest distance to Turthann, where they established an encampment to serve as their base of operations for the planned surveys of Kaliteth. In time, this encampment grew to a sizable outpost. Then, following the official establishment of the barony, on the 20th of Munetla, 717, the newly titled baron, Daman of Mingralt, arrived to take command of the outpost and officially established the village of Ralmorhegg.

Points of Interest
Boar 'n Hound Tavern
The Boar 'n Hound Tavern holds the claim as being the oldest establishment in Ralmorhegg. From its humble beginning as an ale tent pitched in the first Turthannian expeditionary camp in Cettionn, 711. Once an alehouse exclusive to the knights and highest ranking of the military, over the years it has fallen out of popularity with the nobility. What's more, being located in Sandflats, near Begger's Hill, has made this an undesirable destination for the affluent of the town as the town has grown. Today, the majority of the clientele are made up a) travelers just passing through the area, b) the least wealthy of the local tradesmen, and c) the rare few of the peasantry who have scraped together enough extra coin for a drink. Despite the loss of business from the nobility, the tavern has remained successful, reputably having served over a million drinks and half as many meals over the last 38 years. They are especially well known for their hickory smoked pork and the Red Goat Ale produced by the Haldis brewery.
Proprietor: Lurs of Ralmorhegg (63), widower who never remarried.
Barkeep: Marcyl (38), son of Lurs
Barmaid: Daranna (32), wife of Marcyl, and Ellana (44), never married, flirts with Lurs.
Besides being a popular tavern amongst the lower-class, it is also a common hangout for individuals looking for work and further serves as neutral ground for those meeting to discuss disreputable business dealings.
