Ortysia is a town in the Western Empire owned by Archon Apys of clan Varros. The villages of Arpotis, Vinela, and Garengolia are bound to the town.
Description[]
Ortysia, named for the quails who inhabit the nearby coastal marshes, was the first Calradian colony on the shores of the Perassic Sea. In its early centuries, it fell under the authority of the Kannic city-state of Quyaz, but the Empire's expansion soon united the colony with its mother republic. For centuries, sailors coming from the pirate-infested islands of the Gulf of Charas gave thanks when they saw its towers looming through the haze of the western Perassic, signaling a return to safe imperial-patrolled waters.
Economy[]
The town begins the game with an Olive Press, a Silversmith, and a Tannery.
Trivia[]
- The settlements.xml game file notes that Ortysia "Sits on a low-lying delta near the end of the lake. Reed-beds, like Itil or Astrakhan."
- The name Ortysia could be inspired by Ortygia, an island adjacent to the Sicilian city of Syracuse.
