Pitroyad

Diehard is a good word to describe the capital of Bhankari, which prides itself on keeping the Spiral Sea and Virrum safe by containing the corruption spilling from the swamp that makes up the southern edge of its territory. Supported by its northern settlements as well as a tight alliance with Anekoya, the unrepentant aberrations and abominations that would otherwise make the continent far more dangerous than its current state are culled by Pitroyad's soldiers and guards daily. Taught since birth that it is better to die than fail to hold the line, tales of their steadfast bravery spread throughout Gleam, and there are few places among the continents where merit is more highly rewarded. Despite having few opportunities to produce anything, the strange plants and materials gathered from slain enemies is a valuable export.
