Ixthos

This city is the greatest seafaring power since Lom. It lies where the Flyssa River enters the Gulf of Enom, and so has access by boat and barge to both the interior and circumference of Myrnia. Steamships from the Republic of Verdun and lithe sloops from Medissa come and go in their harbor.

The time after the Fall was chaotic here, with many elves trying to find ships to safety. One group of terrified elves even chartered ships to return to Oestria, though their fate is unknown. Some captains began preying on the frightened people, and promised passage to safe cities where the empire was starting again. Many elves gave all their possessions to these captains only to be abandoned on a remote shore while the crew laughed at their misery.

A captain named Ty was appalled, and tried to form a coalition of ships that promised never to exploit their passengers. Though there are always those who would prey on weakness, there were many ships from Ixthos that shared his feeling of disgust for the practice. They began chasing out those with bad reputations.

Eventually, Ty decided that his home needed a stronger hand on the rudder and, to great celebration, named himself the king of Ixthos. He created a line of kings who have since kept the harbor peaceful, prosperous, and honest.

King Sylvester, the grandson of Ty, rules there now. There are rumors that he has a shadow harbor somewhere along the coast where pirates and smugglers trade, but he denies it and no one has been able to find it or prove anything.
