Krystos
Krystos is bordered by Föþúra to the west, Nyrvóel to the northeast and Mórhim to the southwest.
The city is one of the oldest Ameder settlements, located at the foot of Krystó Ridge by the Laanl River -a tributary of the river Óv- and birthplace of their current form of government, where the mages' caste forms an ruling class.
The city itself is widely considered a world wonder, as it's the only place in Dragonía where one can find föð-lút, a strange material which resembles snow except that it doesn't melt away when heated. Föð-lút is harvested in a cave above the city and applied to the outer walls of the stone buildings, both for insulation and to make them glisten in the sun. Homes of the ruling family are also painted in bright colours and the föð-lút carved with intricate patterns -similar to wooden structures are decorated elsewhere in Kanix Forest- and the windows fitted with föð-lút treated to make it transparent like glass.
The material cannot be used outside Krystos, as it disintegrates when brought too far from the cave, but the neighboring city-states imitate this style by applying white clay to their structures instead. Warriors of Krystos wear white cloaks adorned with black feathers.
