Antrijs

Antrijs (Trader's Tongue: Antress; historically Olmë: Allantra) is an Avaline-controlled nordling city on the Sea of Boenadac. It is the northernmost holding of the Kingdom of Neuvalon and one of its three client states as of 3965 TC.

After being incorporated into the kingdom by King Jan I in 3939, it had retained a high level of autonomy. It is governed by a 60-man city council, headed by an arhont who is chosen on an annual basis among the other council members. Its total population numbers around 12000 people, and it is one of the few cities in the east where a sizable elven minority dwells, c. 10% of the total population.

The prosperity of the city was historically based on maritime trade; as the capital of one of the successor states of the elven empire, it achieved a high level of development, particularly during the 32nd and 33rd centuries, as it became notable for its wealth, skilled diplomats, scholars, and traders.

Names
Antrijs was known by many names during its long history. According to ancient elven manuscripts, the city was the site of a small nordling fishing village on the far western coast of the En Ogledd, the "old north". It was occupied as early as 2000 TC.
