Ui’aharti
Located in a bay in the middle of the eastern coast of Anaros Island, Ui’aharti is the largest and most important city of the Anari. While the nation is generally overseen by the Eldest from the Warrior’s Temple on Mount Yu’unar, Ui’aharti is the nation’s cultural and economic center. Several colleges of excellent repute found in the city educate the youth of the nobility alongside some number from the countryside and even a few from outside Anaros Island in arts, philosophy, and magic. Some 15 schools of martial arts are in the city, and each provides instruction in a different master’s style of swordplay or unarmed combat. Many nobles and merchants who oversee the more practical day-to-day Anari matters live here in aesthetic splendor, and their estates are marvels of art and architecture.
The collective nature of Anari society holds sway here as well, and even powerful nobles are expected to share their wealth with the less fortunate. Each day, poorer Anari visit these estates to meet with chamberlains and other officials to receive grants of money or food as needed. More generous nobles tend to wield more influence, while stingy families may find themselves ostracized and cut off from contact with the Eldest.
