Argoros
The city of Argoron sits where the warm, slow moving waters of Marsaxlok Bay meets the cold The Nordic Sea. This was once the land of the Laconians, who saw the Empire as a protector against the more warlike Palaic peoples. They welcomed and intermarried with imperial settlers and their chiefs joined the Senate, and their old language and customs faded away.
Today the city is one of the most xenophobic of The Eastern Calradian empire, due to it's geographic isloation from most other cities, as well as it's very desirable location overlooking the beautiful and bountiful Marsaxlok Bay. The city itself is well fed by the fish from the bay, and otherwise is the most militarized of the cities of the East. Having had to defend themselves for years while other armies were fighting The Western Calradian Empire, the city has raised and trained it's own legion for it's defence.
Though this location would have been ideal for trade in years gone by, the city does not trade with Vaegirs out of spite, and is too far over land for much merchants to reach. The city is still grand in scale though, and is richly decorated and adorned, a remnant of it's wealthy past. Significant amounts of funds have been funneled into the city by the senate to keep it standing, as a symbol that that The Eastern Calradian empire still reaches all the way from North to South, and it's loss would be a grave moral defeat for the senate.
For this reason, the local authorities are harsh and draconian, any threat to the cities' fall is to be swiftly and efficiently removed.
