Leviathalas
Leviathalas is the favored polis of Karametra, and its buildings blend so perfectly into the forest that it's difficult to tell the difference between inside and outside. The populace lives in harmony with the thick forests, terraced farms, and trained animals of Leviathalas, and they celebrate the cycle of seasons with grand holidays. Leviathalas is also unique among the poleis of Sinfonia in that few of its adult residents are men. Women comprise the bulk of the population, holding almost all of the leadership roles and carrying out most work. Men are few and far between, mostly performing roles at the polis's edge. Children run freely around the polis. They're so important, in fact, that Leviathalan people take in abandoned children from all over Sinfonia.

History
The founding of Leviathalas is a matter of hot debate amongst scholars across Sinfonia and the stories are as varied and ancient as the trees of the Nessian Wood. Some say the polis evolved from a small village of Satyrs born from the trees. Others say the first Wood Elf was quite literally carved by Nylea from the bark of a Guardian Tree. Many who live in Leviathalas attibute The Legend of Nessiana as the true story of the founding of Leviathalas. Whatever story is true, Leviathalas is blessed and watched over closely by Karametra and Nylea to ensure peace and prosperity in the Nessian Wood.
This close attention by the two Godesses is what makes the The Nessian War and the Nekroti Plague so concerning to the citizens of Leviathalas. They've always done their best to live their lives in accordance to the natural law, how then could such horrors be visited upon them? Was this a punishment of some kind? Previously the conflict between Helios and Apollo was little more than a matter of debate in the taverns and inns of Leviathalas, but now this divine war has spilled over into their homes and changed their way of life forever.
Geography
Natural Resources
Fresh fruit, vegetables, baked goods, fish, meat, nuts, seeds, and spices are all plentiful. Animals such as horses, pegasuses, wolves, lions, falcons and more are trained in the Amatrophon. There are some mines within the city, but they are carved so as not to disrupt the forests. Master artisans are renowned for creating "Ironwood" weapons and armor made from wood carefully extracted from the three sacred trees surrounding Karametra's Temple.
