Oritolon
This article outlines the region of Oritolon. For the realm of Oritolon, see Oritolon (Realm).
Few cities of The Colonies can rival the spectacular beauty and sheer size of Oritolon.
The center of the city is notable for it's airy squares and open space where merchants ply their wares. The daily business of the city is largely conducted al-fresco, in huge open-air halls consisting of pillars crafted from white Snaketooth marble and topped with roofs of Grentzen red oak. It's wide roads and huge squares are all paved with cobblestones crafted from black Windaria granite.
The docks of Oritolon are a hive of activity with ships of every size loading and unloading throughout the day and night. They ring to the voices of a hundred nations as fortunes are made and lost on the turn of the tide and tales are told and old scores settled in the raucous inns and taverns.
Oritolon Stronghold, the seat of Oritolon's government and military, is a towering edifice built from the finest Snaketooth marble and silver Iglavik slate. It's walls contain libraries, barracks, meeting halls, markets and all the trappings of a city-within-a-city. It is said that half of Sovonoval's harvest passes through its kitchens.
From the northern city gates, two forty-foot square banners made of the finest silks from Askatep fly in honor of Oritolon's founding fathers 'Atlas' and 'Hrothgar'.
This is the capital city of Oritolon.
