Uther

Uther is a vastly large metropolis in the northern hemisphere of the continent that sits on the delta of the Karveil River. It is considered to be the last true bastion of civilization before entering the Barren North.

Uther's population mainly consists of the Human race; however, the population of Elves in Uther alone usually numbers more individuals than many civilizations in Hylos. Any race is welcome in Uther (granted local superstition against Drows, Duergar, Tieflings, and other generally ill-willed individuals), and it is not uncommon to see Dwarves, Gnomes, Halflings, Elves, Half-Dragons, and hosts of other creatures both bizarre and benign traversing the streets of Uther.

Uther is governed by a monarch who is selected by the Council of Lords, a group of masked individuals selected for their wisdom and insight rather than their political power or wealth. The current monarch of Uther is Queen Aluenth Orraine, a former Thieves Guild member who took power after the deposition of King Harshag the Grim by Garret during the Year of Crow's Fall. Queen Aluenth rules the city justly and fairly, surprisingly so for having such close ties to the Thieves Guild for so long.

Uther's system of commerce is kept afloat by being a major trade city with a bustling port. While certainly producing enough products to sustain itself, Uther heavily relies on trade for the items it cannot procure itself. Most notably among those items is the large amount of imported food. Uther's cold climates make many crops unable to grow.

The Year of Crow's Fall
Undeniably the most exciting time for the citizens of Uther for years to come, Crow's Fall commemorates the heroic efforts of three adventurers: Kajidoh Nolan, Caldwell Stormhaven, and Don Juan Cherry Tempo. The events set into motion by these adventurers shaped the future of Uther, as well as costing millions in property damage.
