Nadril

An independent, medium trade city bordered on either side by the Aarasyl Desert and the Azurali Sea. Due to it's location it's a very common trade conduit for the Hino'ithal, who are able to sail their sand-gliders to the gates of the city itself.
Despite heavy pressure from both the Selenavi Republic and the Marstoli Commonwealth, Nadril has maintained its neutrality in the constant power struggle between the two political powerhouses. While it has a small militia, it relies on the retaliation of one power against the other were either side to attempt subjugation. Additionally, the Hino'ithal made it very clear that they wished Nadril to remain independent, especially after the aquiation of Folran by the Commonwealth. The threat of losing a valuable trading asset across the desert, as well as what open hostility would mean, has helped keep both parties ambitions cooled.
Nadril is fairly neopolitan, with a mixture of races and cultures in its melting pot.
