 **Polis, Everlasting Northern Star:** //Population 12 million.// The capital of Pthora, Polis is its largest city. Having stood for millennia, this city is carved out of the side of Polis Peak itself. It stands as a testament to Dwarven culture on Pthora, and acts as a grand facade for the might of each short-lived authoritarian regime passing through the nation. Polis is far wealthier and technologically advanced than the rest of Pthora. Its greater metropolitan region contains about 80% of Pthora's population (excluding the indigenous peoples). **Polis, Everlasting Northern Star:** //Population 12 million.// The capital of Pthora, Polis is its largest city.

   * **Svetagrad Town:** //Population 0.// Located on the edge of the Polis metropolitan region is an eerie ghost town, devastated by plague in 10025. Rumor has it that eerie, frozen undead wander the rotting streets - an unnatural sight even for the undead...   * **Svetagrad Town:** //Population 0.// Located on the edge of the Polis metropolitan region is an eerie ghost town, devastated by plague in 10025.

 +  * **Kogot Village:** //Population 10,000.// Once a farming village, this small settlement has recently seen an uptick in craftsmen and engineers arriving to the area, and is becoming a hotspot of experimentation and artifice in the Polis region. 
  
 **Czernobog, Embers' Portrait:** //Population 500,000.// Pthora keeps a tight handle on the arts, with the Winter Office reserving the ability to mark any artistic venture they deem "unhelpful" or "unflattering" as "degenerate" and pursue it with legal power. In Czernobog is a veritable cornucopia of "approved" art, from literature praising the regime, to landscape paintings emphasizing the might and natural beauty of the surroundings, to patriotic and propagandistic music. Many museums exist in Czernobog, all controlled by the Ember Army. Yet, supported by Arenti, a small yet robust artistic underground persists, pursuing mortal expression free of the chains of the restrictive regime. Czernobog is located within the greater Polis region. **Czernobog, Embers' Portrait:** //Population 500,000.// Pthora keeps a tight handle on the arts, with the Winter Office reserving the ability to mark any artistic venture they deem "unhelpful" or "unflattering" as "degenerate" and pursue it with legal power.

-**+**Arkhivgrad, Grand Library of Resistance:** //Population 1 million.// Far from Polis, on the western coast of the main Pthoran island, is a city built half-underground, in an effort to seem like a smaller settlement than it is. Arkhivgrad is populated by those who despise the Ember Army, seeking to witness its downfall. With their limited ability to fight back or escape, those within Arkhivgrad have one hope for survival: to remain under the nose and undetected by the Ember Army. It is populated by many Tarusians, who keep a vast library full of Pthoran culture and history - an archive that they seek to keep clean of regime influences. Arkhivgrad is located near a few smaller villages, named Tvesti and Pero, which function as refugee encampments for the most part.

 +**Eastside Port, Gate to Forests:** //Population 3.5 million.// Located near Nahrul, this port city is the main point of entry for trading ships inbound from the Oxis Alliance and Nahrul. Despite Pthora's overall poor reputation on the world stage, trade has remained open from other nations - albeit with high tariffs when it comes to northern Cahyali. Uzberezhya is populated mainly by those who work for trading companies and their families.
