Galestrum is the closest of the Naratian cities to the Verdant Valley. Though it is far from a bottleneck to all the farms, it is often the first port of entry for many farmers, and thus is bustling center of trade. Due to this, most other Naratian cities maintain good relations with the Duke of Galestrum, as a trade embargo would be devastating. Nestled within the winding paths in the mountains, Galestrum is naturally defensible, with forests and difficult to traverse terrain when veering far off the roads, making it difficult to secure all three exits of the city in a siege, not to mention the river passing through the city.

The inner walls of the city are split into two districts, one on either side of the river, the smaller Queen's Gale district to the east, with only a single bridge crossing the river into the larger King's Gale district, within the heart of which lies the White Wind Keep, residence of the Duke of Galestrum. Gates to the north, west and east also lead into the Skywind Districts outside of the walls that have built up in recent years as increased trade and interest in the paragons has consolidated into a more dense population center. A smattering of specialty farms catering to hardy crops that can grow amidst the cliffside terrain in small fields overlook the city, providing the city with a small source of local produce. Finally, the Underwood district has made itself home to many of the city's undesirables, displaced from their homes as the population grew and land began to come at a premium, those who could not afford the cities taxes were forced to scrape a living along the river's shore.
