The capital of Otteun is either the largest or the second largest city in the world, depending on who you ask. The inhabitants don't really care either way but are quick to point out that their bridge is the largest feat of engineering in the world.
At first glance the city might look like an enormous garrison with fortresses and other reinforced buildings dominating the view. However, when you get into the many 'zieks' (neighborhoods) of the city you'll find everything you'd expect to find in a metropolis.
The city was originally named Mitttal but over time the spelling changed to Midtal.
Locations
Nuratt Bridge
While Midtal was settled in a very strategic location, one thing had always been impossible; a bridge to the western shore. The River Tal is so wide at this location that the two previous attempts at a bridge never even reached the other bank.
When the dwarves fled their homeland after the Collapse, a large contingent made it to the capital and immediately set out to prove their worth by building a bridge. It was a project of many years and lives were lost but now the thirteen-arches stone bridge is one of the prides of Otteun.
