Capitol of the Kingdom; located in Province Inia within Domaine Est.  Sometimes called The White City due to the color of the stones used to build it.

== [[Landsoftheblacksea:Main_Page/realms/athervon/settlements/avis_armois | Avis Armois]] ==

The oldest city in Athervon and the second largest in terms of population.  Perched on a small spit of land at the delta of the Dautin River at the southern border of the Kingdom in Province Armois, Domaine Sud, Avis Armois exists on the border of the terrible Dire Fens, and its history is bound with that evil place.  Due to this, as well as the geography and the nearly constant fog and mists that can be found there, the city is known by a number of other names, such as: The Mire Queen; The Grey Lady; and The City of Mists.  Avis Armois has traditionally been governed by the City's Archbishop, granted the title of Protector of Avis Armois by the King.

A fortified village on the border of the Dire Fens.  Orveaux sits at the edge of one of the few paths through The Fall that allow one easy access down into - or up from - the Fens.  As such, it sees regular incursions from the foul inhabitants that reside there.  Orveaux is heavily fortified and is always manned with a significant garrison of troops both from the Comte du Maussis as well as cavalry and heavy footsoldiers provided by the Duc du Sud.

A major trade settlement, Belis-ar-Weil is located at the mouth of the Aumine River, the origins of which are the Iron Mountains far to the west.  The river travels through land rich in minerals and in agriculture and with many towns along it, and these products flow through Belis-ar-Weil to be loaded onto ocean-bound ships - generally small craft bound for Avis Inia, there to take the land route to Tras Veniri and lands east, or south to Avis Armois, there to be loaded onto larger vessels heading for the Wild Coast, the Haradi Coast, Jhon, or Issyria.

== Aven Auli ==

On the road between Avis Inia and Belis-ar-Weil.  Once a fairly large town, it was sacked and burned when the Jhonians invaded, and is now little but ruins.  The population moved, most to Belis-ar-Weil, some to Avis Inia.  The ruins have been scavenged over the last century, and there is little left now but charred wood, broken stones, and other debris that is being rapidly overgrown by the coastal plains vegetation.
