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
Arks Ximmer
This large fort in the northeastern Eagles ziek is where the high command is housed. This is where the Council of Chiefs meet and all important Ott (army) matters are decided.
ElaBOARate More
One of the most famous carveries in the city, and indeed the country, the chefs here have elevated pig roasting, and other forms of pork preparation, to an art. Don't forget to try their pickled cabbage side dish and finish with their award winning cherry compote.
Exchange of the Gods
A typical example of Otteun humor; this colossal domed building in the Park ziek used to be the temple of Rades, one of the gods from before the Collapse. Now it is the largest covered market in the city where just about anything can be bought.
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.
Talsite Citadel
This large structure of fortified buildings in the Old Town ziek is the main center of government for the country and the city. This is where the Chief Council meets and where veritable army of civil servants implements their edicts.
Znell Stallions
Based in stables a few hours outside the city, this company is the foremost seller of Otteun horses. Mainly focused on riding horses they have been breeding best-in-class mounts for centuries.
