=== Anota === 

Anota is an important harbor and provincial capital of Dantrina. An ancient city that predates Arqualan and even Dandreen itself, Anota has been inhabited for at least 3,000 years, its walls broken and citizens destroyed many times through conquest and the terrible earthquakes that plague the region. Situated by the Sea of Holinos on Provendo’s northern coast, the city has long been involved in fishing and commerce, so its economy naturally favors maritime industries while its population holds an outlook more cosmopolitan than most. For centuries, the politics of the region were dominated by Anota’s huge ship-building and trade cartels, which used their wealth and influence to install their picked Monitari, who would then grant them subsidies and expand their monopoly privileges. Since his ascension to power, the Illuminarch has devoted considerable energy to break the back of these cartels, but while diminished, their power still lingers in the city. 

Anota is also the birthplace of Jento Tylofost, the cleric and theologian, holy transmitter of Tylofostonism.
