PERTINACIA
The city of Pertinacia was built on north-eastern shores of Forinthry to become the kingdom’s largest port of commerce. It was given a zarosian name by Bane in a rare moment of sentimentality upon realizing this would be the first proper settlement to have been built in Forinthry since the Second Age. The name translates as “Defiance” or sometimes “Stubbornness” which seemed appropriate given the harsh conditions and violent neighbors. Lord Bane’s hope is to attract visitors from far and wide to the port. Some from across the North Sea in places like Piscatoris, Kardia, Rellekka, Morytania and the Eastern Lands and some from Misthalin and Asgarnia via the newly constructed underground rail network. It has a surrounding wall with outposts situated at equidistant points around the perimeter but its main defense is its distance from any hostile faction. The main routes into the city, by sea and by rail are guarded jealously though it is not always clear by what. Rellekka is landscaled as being this city.
