Caerniras (K-ai-r-nir-as) is the capital of Northern Tarania (and of the Niras clan). It is located at the head of the Southern Belith Range on the banks of the River Hythe. The fortified settlement was built during the Mendari War when King Rodric moved the Nirasian seat of power from the infamous Hythe Hillfort. The grandeur of the throne in the Great Hall is comparable to those belonging to the warlords of the Wildlands.
