Loyalist Quarter

The Loyalists is what the oldest and wealthiest inhabitants of Altrisos call themselves. They arrange their houses between the east wall and Heliod's Spire. The houses are usually larger than those of the rest of the city, built on the ancient lands of the first founders. The relationships between them began to be somewhat inbred, and they make themselves look like a kind of aristocratic nobility with closed marriages between their families and events to which only the "loyal" are invited. Some of the most influential members among the loyalists are in the Phytolides family. Headed by Direna Fitolides, the sober matriarch, their political and commercial influences reaches even to Meletis and Akros. They respect the city government, but consider themselves above the majority of citizens and many of the younger members of the family, such as Pitea, Direna's granddaughter, show a remarkable arrogance.
