Diathma
Diathma is a small city on the Southern coast of the Nordic Sea. Up until recently, the city was controlled by The Eastern Calradian empire, but was conquered by an attack by The Western Calradian Empire in a siege led personally by Emperor Ariminius Comnenos. It is now the primary base of operations for attempting to patrol and control the Nordic Sea against the Vaegirs.
Diathma, the city of the Divine Decree, was erected by an imperial general on the ruins of a cleansed Daemon overlooking The Nordic Sea. It was the last stand of the Dryatics, the northernmost of the Daemon-following peoples, who fought back against the crusades and were overcome. According to legend they were pushed back into the shallows of the sea and fought until they were exhausted and the bloody waters engulfed them.
It's primary industry is fishing, shipbuilding, linen weaving, as well as logging of the forests on the island directly to it's West.
Other than the loggers, and the sheepherds, few rural people exist in this area, as it is a prime target for Vaegir raiders. Most small vilages outside of the city have fortified themselves and keep a significantly sized militia. Other than these, the plains surrounding the city are errily bare.
