Wygraam

Wygraam is a fictional city-state that appears in various works of fantasy literature and tabletop role-playing games. In these narratives it is typically placed along the Sarn River on the eastern plains, serving as a major commercial and cultural hub for neighboring regions.

Geography and demographics in the fiction describe Wygraam as ringed by basalt fortifications with river docks on its western edge. Population figures vary by source, commonly ranging from about 15,000 to 25,000 residents, and the city is conventionally divided into districts such as the North Gate, Iron Quarter, and River Market.

History and governance in the lore indicate that Wygraam was founded by the Lethari mercantile class during the early imperial era and later came under the influence of powerful merchant guilds. The contemporary government is depicted as a council of guildmasters led by a magistrate who handles civil authority and judicial matters, balancing trade interests with municipal policy.

Economy and culture focus on textiles, glassmaking, and river trade. The Ember Market, held annually in the central square, is a notable event that attracts artisans and traders from beyond the city. A landmark called the Glass Spire is often cited, symbolizing the city’s craft heritage and architectural style, which blends basalt masonry with timber framing.

In fiction and media, Wygraam is frequently used as a setting for political intrigue, trade negotiations, and urban-centered adventures, making it a common backdrop for campaigns and serialized stories. See also: Sarn River, Ember Market, Glass Spire.
