 **Rozmakhigrad, the Unshackled City:** //Population 60,000.// This city was once the greatest prison in Pthora, where political prisoners worked forced labor in mines and doomed expeditions into the tundra. The inmates were freed when the Triumvirate came to power, but distrust in any Pthoran regime led the city to declare its independence. The city is improving its relations with the surrounding Johtalit, and has even begun to engage in trade from the town of Davikh on the Inner Coast.
+  * ** Khesicstav:** //Population 0.// A small hunting village just north of Rozmakhigrad before the Great War, Khesicstav was destroyed by the Ember Army in a false flag attack to drum up support for fighting Shinneok. It now serves as a reminder of the past, and a memorial to Pthoran lives lost under the brutality of dictatorship.
 **Upirngivik, Anchor Point:** //Population 20,000.// In the northern region of the Johtalit tundras is this small town, inhabited by the Johtalit. Somewhat more militarized than other Johtalit settlements, Upirngivik acts as a deterrent for Pthoran forces from entering Johtalit territory. With the rise of the Triumvirate relations have improved, but the Johtalit are still wary of the government.

-Defended by their natural environment, the Johtalit people have managed to weather the blows of both Dahabi invasion and Pthoran aggression for millennia. They practice a spiritual religion, venerating nature itself as the greatest of all gods. Some of this belief is directed at deities such as Osiris and Vahrun, referred to as Beaivi and Nuliajuk, respectively. Peregrinus and Tenebrus are also worshiped as a single sky god, called Unipkaaqtuat. Seers, shamans, and healers often worship their own interpretations of Seherine, Vormaxia, and Aset - or sometimes conglomerate interpretations of the three.

 The Johtalit herd large animals called snowstriders (pictured bottom right), the name going back to their origins on Kleemudor - but here used to refer to an entirely different creature. The husbandry of these creatures is central to much of Johtalit culture, as snowstriders allow them to cross the land in relative safety and also provide much-needed hides and meat. Johtalit live mostly in small villages built from wood and brick, each led by a chieftain or shaman. Few elemental mages exist among the Johtalit, with magic practice being in the realm of divine or spiritual (the Johtalit make no distinction between the two); or, occasionally, psionic.
