Pytaa

Pytaa is a city in southern Duscador, south of the Limerock Mountains and the city of Athon and north of Tyno on the coast. It is ruled by the Council of Pytaa and is known for its blacksmiths; the turn of phrase 'Pytaan steel' is commonly used across Duscador to refer to something that is extremely sturdy, or unwilling to change.
=== History ===
The known history of Pytaa begins almost a thousand years ago, when the settlement first began to grew into something larger. It enjoyed a great deal of prosperity as part of both the empires of Inath and Tameria, where its storied history of smithing began. During the Great Separation, Pytaa, like most of the land south of the Neck, took the side of the Anaean League. Unlike its southern sister-city Tyno, which was sacked and its populace slaughtered, Pytaa avoided the worst of the great war. It continued to thrive as part of the Roni and continues to do so as part of Duscador.
=== Population ===
Pytaa has a large population of approximately 150,000 to 200,000, the majority of whom are native Duscadorian. It has a small number of Itrusics and Manosi, though not nearly as large as other southeastern cities like Tyno and Calo. It is known as the birthplace of Arzhelico of Pytaa, one of Duscador's greatest ever commanders.
=== Military ===
The city is protected by the Guards of Pytaa, a city watch comprised of more than a thousand men, and a volunteer force of firefighters and civil soldiers. Owing in part to its nondescript location, Pytaa has never been besieged or sacked, though its small military still remains present.
