Tanthia Settlement in Arthael | World Anvil

Tanthia

anthia is the largest city in the region of Tanthia Sult, which is part of the Aesthalen Empire, an elven empire. The city is divided into 12 districts, each controlled by an administrator. The city is a hub of trade and commerce, with bustling marketplaces and a large port that serves as a gateway to the rest of the empire.   However, Tanthia is also a city marked by stark class divisions. The lower classes in Tanthia are discriminated against, and their movement throughout the city is restricted through the use of tollgates. Anyone passing through a tollgate is required to pay a small sum of money, which amounts to a day's wage for most people in the city. This effectively limits the movement of the lower classes, forcing them to remain in their assigned districts and preventing them from exploring other areas of the city.   Furthermore, the port, which is the only area of the city that is free to move about in, is also a dangerous place. Criminal gangs and smugglers roam the port, preying on unwary travelers and visitors. As a result, the lower classes in Tanthia are trapped in a cycle of poverty, unable to escape the oppressive conditions of their district.   The upper classes in Tanthia, on the other hand, enjoy a life of luxury and comfort. They live in large mansions and palaces, with access to the best food, entertainment, and healthcare. The class divide in Tanthia is so extreme that it has resulted in frequent clashes between the lower and upper classes.   Despite the challenges faced by the lower classes, Tanthia remains an important city in the Aesthalen Empire. Its position as a center of trade and commerce ensures that it continues to be a vital hub for the empire's economy.
