Vermar
A city on the border between Emswort and Tiveley, Vermar is a large trade and diplomatic city. With the ocean to the south and mountains to the north, Vermar fills a bottleneck separating the two nations from each other, forcing the majority of traffic and trade through the city.
Vermar was founded as a border town prior to the founding of Tively. As the land east of Vermar was claimed, Vermar began to grow and become an important connection between the two friendly nations.
Vermar proper is officially owned by the Nation of Emswort, with the Nation of Tively controlling Vermar East.
