Amkilía is a city in Fjún, an elven republic in western Rúþría, a region in the northern Southlands. Located at and near Þvalía's Promontory in the province of Omaðis Tamúð to the northeast, of which it's the provincial capital, Amkilía is the largest city in the country and the oldest settlement founded by Maþúlans on the continent, and served as the capital of the colony of Ijún until it was moved to Naðan Þvis after it gained independence from Maþú.
The city remains the economic center of Fjún, with ships from all over Borgalor passing through there each day, including ones going to and from the otherwise isolated country of Mjúlt in the western Southlands. Amkilía is home to the Vúnans, the largest fairy community outside their native Teleyk Islands, most of whom live in a neighbourhood known as The Thicket, with many buildings of smaller scale than usual to accommodate their physiology.

Points of interest

The Citadel: The oldest part of Amkilía, originally a fortified town overlooking the area from Þvalía's Promontory in the northeastern part of the city, but has since become its historical center where people can visit museums, shops, restaurants and a pyrolatrist shrine or admire the view from the fortifications.

Zafen's Fish Market: Named after a fisherman who fed a whole village with his catch in maþúlan folklore, this place is the largest of its kind in Rúþría and third largest in the Southlands, rivaled only by the markets in Garanar and Þóla to the east.

Architecture

Like in Naðan Þvis, the outer walls on many older buildings are decorated with horizontal bands of darker stone or bricks, and many have bluish slate roofs.
