Oryktós

The city of Oryktós, north of Alsyllio and east of the Iron Mountains, is a crucial city of Arcadia. Its location makes it the chief source of Arcadian timber and ore. The city is built in a series of concentric circles, each divided by a high wall. At the center is the Varos’s Hall, the seat of the townmaster as well as a great storehouse of timber and ore. Since the introduction of fire-powder, Oryktós has become more important, as the primary route between Masïkhunaut and Kefalaio runs through it.
