Naðan Þvis is the second largest city and capital of the republic of Fjún, located at the mouth of the river Iliþví in the province of Omaðis Zaðele to the north. It was founded by maþúlan settlers during the colonial period to extract clay for making pottery and bricks, and later became a hub of activity for the province as new clay pits and settlements were founded further south along the river.
After the colony of Ijún achieved independence from Maþú and became the republic of Fjún, Naðan Þvis was chosen as the new capital instead of the city of Amkilía to the east, as the latter was considered at risk during conflicts with the human country of Númra. Despite this change from a primarily industrial city to a center of both government and education in Fjún, locals often refer to it as The Kiln to this day.

Points of interest

Grand Hearth: The largest shrine in Fjún, dedicated to fjúno-maþúlan dualistic Pyrolatry, and the largest of its kind since the destruction of Maþú. The main sanctuary is a circular stone structure with eight semi-domes, each of which provides light from the outside through tall, narrow windows, and a sacred fire in the center.

Jafon University: One of Borgalor's most important centers of learning in the study of magic and magic crystals in particular.

Temple of Inhút: A pyrolatrist shrine built by avóðans who settled in Naðan Þvis after the Fell Wars, which houses the image of the fire god Inhút, depicted as an elf with the head engulfed in flames, as well as his oracle.

Architecture

The outer walls on many older buildings, particularly shrines and fortifications, are decorated with horizontal bands of darker stone or bricks, which is derived from older maþúlan architecture and occurs in newer styles as well. Tiled roofs are the norm, often using local clay which gives the tiles a distinct green hue, while brick structures made with it usually have bluish slate on the roofs, much like elsewhere in Fjún.
