Tmyríka

Feráan: Tmyríka /t^hmɪːrik^haː/

---

Tmyríka is the capital of Feráa in northeastern Gysikan, close to Góalanis to the north. It's one of the wealthiest cities in the region, with merchants passing through from all over Gysikan, the Góalanic Federation and beyond.
According to local tradition, the city was founded by the hero Förkías after defeating giants living there, and named after his wife Tmerissa.

Demographics

Most of the inhabitants are native Feráans and various other gysikani, as well as small communities of Góalanics and Dvarrans.

Government

Tmyríka is run by an council made up of members of four prominent families, each of which is in charge of one quadrant of the city.

Defences

Feráas main defenses is its thick walls built with cyclopean masonry (believed to have been constructed by giants) and a numbers of towers built with more recent techniques. Combined with the city's location up on the side of Mt. Yrnassos and access to a freshwater spring, the city has so far proven impregnable.

Infrastructure

The city is entered through one of two gates after following a winding path up the mountain side, from there a colonnaded main street leads to a market square and, further on, the city council. Shrines and monuments of all sorts surround the market, while to the left of it another street leads to a ceremonial gate, beyond which a colonnaded path leads to the Temple of Áus and Þirdanna's Grove just outside the city. Feráa's neighborhoods follow a grid plan.
