Min Vaaren

Armed and ready, the swamp-side Min Vaaren, capital of Andeistes, controls the southern half of Allitsia. Thanks to its importation of weapons from Virrum purchased using the taxes from Werisda, their forces are well-equipped and well-trained to deal with the impenetrable terrain to the south of the settlement. The idyllic fields to the north require only routine patrols and rarely any military action, mostly due to the pleasant political climate between Genae Terrau and Andeistes. In addition, the high level of trading between Virrum and Intonael gives the capital a rather cultured slant, and many a philosopher has come from the otherwise unassuming stone buildings of Min Vaaren and turned their thoughts into tomes that have captured the world's imagination.
