Himéath

Himéath [HIM-ay-ath, hɪm aɪ ath] is a historic fortified city in the centre of the Ania Plateau. Until the 8th century ME it was the capital of the old Kingdom of Narette.

Today it a prosperous but provincial city, its growth restricted by its walls so that it is now only the fourth biggest city in Narette.

History

Himéath lies at a strategic location in the centre of rich agricultural land, and so has been an important settlement for many thousands of years. It is a historic walled city with a citadel and strong walls, and with its wealth based on cloth and agriculture it became the centre of the Kingdom of Narette.

During the Long War, the Northern League twice laid seige to the city, causing fire and heavy damage but never defeating the city walls. In the 10th century the royal government relocated to Heth Ania, building a more spacious modern capital on the coast.
