Altrisos
The city of Altrisos is the best example of prosperity in all of Theros. As the most prosperous of the Meletis settlements, the city is considered blessed by Ephara. The most famous of the stories demonstrating this deference of the goddess is the well known repulse of a huge kraken with the appearance in effigy of the goddess herself on the city walls, who also raised the height of the walls to protect its inhabitants. Before and after that, Altrisos has always been fervently loyal to Ephara and her face is carved on every street and building in gratitude for the prosperity achieved under her protection.
The city elects a politarch democratically from among its inhabitants, who acts as governor and is advised by a philosopher sent from Dekatia and elected by the Twelve of Meletis, a representative of the city's artisans and merchants, and a polemarch, or general in command of the Reverent Army that protects the city and its environs. The current polemarch of the city is the young Hedron, a clear example of the possibilities that Altrisos gives to the humblest people who strive and excel. Born into a family of humble artisans, his initiative as a child turned his family into prosperous merchants, and Hedron himself into a reference. His exploits, despite his youth, have made him famous among his fellow citizens who tell more or less exaggerated stories of how Ephara protects the young man in his exploits.
The population is mainly made up of humble artisans, merchants and fishermen. There are no particularly wealthy people, but all citizens enjoy a more than decent standard of living compared to even other polis and cities. The number of thamaturgists is Altrisos is also remarkable, and some offer themselves as teacher to those who cannot access the Dekatia in Meletis.
In recent years the secret worship of Phenax among some citizens seems to have increased and Hedron is facing increasingly difficult situations of smuggling, theft, blasphemy in temples and even vandalism of Ephara effigies in the city.
