Mithat

Mithat is a walled city on the coast of Relmor Bay. It stands at the end of the Sword Road, anchoring the southern end of Nyrond's defensive line facing Almor.

Mithat's 28,000 people include no fewer than 4,000 naval militia and 3,000 troops, so the city is a virtual military garrison. Indeed, Younard and Hugarnd jointly administer it, Archbold having revoked the grant of town rulership from a local noble family (since the incompetence of his royal general got most of them killed in the wars, this is really adding insult to injury).

Unlike Oldred, and so much of the southern coast, the navy here is well disciplined and regards itself as elite. Mithat naval marines and seamen openly express their disgust at the virtual piracy which the Oldred and other western naval troops have engaged in. Mithat also has a good fishing fleet, which operates in Relmor Bay with naval protection. Their catches are crucial for feeding people in this bustling city. Mithat is a very law abiding place. Thieves and rogues find very lean pickings here, and there is no thieves' guild within this city. Further, the 3,000 or so Almorian refugees who fled here during the wars have been found work and homes. Mithat's people have seen the fiends, undead creatures, orcs and other evils stalking Almor, and they know what alternative Almor's people faced if they did not flee to Nyrond. There is still a wartime spirit here.

This walled city of 28,000 has a massive stand ing army (4,000 naval militia and 3,000 infantry and cavalry). It is the most important Nyrondese naval base, a city with good morale and law-abiding folk. Hugarnd, the Nyrondese Fleet Admiral, is here, and major Nyrondese generals and the king himself are frequent visitors.
