Ottirnalia (otter-nail-ia) officially the City of Ottirnalia is a city that is currently not a part of any nation. It is the countries largest city by population (In-game its the largest) with a population of 182,000 (8 in game as of 8/16/24). Ottirnalia acts as a city under Xokrii Eternum but is not currently part of the nation under a map or under any document and the city retains significant independence especially with the ongoing crisis in Xokrii. 
Ottirnalia is located in the center of Halinn. Ottirnalia is surrounded by multiple nations. South of Ottirnalia is the Leyden city of Kropotkingrad. To the west lays Valenzet, a vassal of Astalasi. To the North is Fornost of Scaliga and Telsin of Solhaven (Vassal of Scaliga). To the Southeast lays Florialis D'ynqar of the Ynqār. and to the West lays Distaria of Orbitalia (Vassal of Leyden). 
Ottirnalia is an industrialized city being home to the Helosian Spire and the Great Mines. Ottirnalia also acts as a major trading hub in the region, Being a hub between the Xokriian cities of Qahramaniye and Gegangör. Ottirnalia being located on a crossroad between multiple nations and and cities has also allowed for significant income to come from entry taxes. However the cities mining industry has served to be the major source of income as the city, by selling raw minerals such as iron and refined materials such as steel have brought in millions for the city which is primarily used to import food due to the tundra climate of the region significantly impeding on agricultural endeavors. In response to this Ottirnalians have began significant research into artificial seeds which could be used in cold environments with proper treatment.
The city also acts as a source of numerous technologies such the previously stated artificial seeds, other technologies present within Ottirnalia include construction technologies which permitted the construction of the towns central hub, the Helosian spire, along with minor technologies such as improved forging and alloying, rifling technology, road production. 
The city of Ottirnalia was founded on August 9th by Spencer Hogerzien following his rise to power after the battle of the west hill. The city was founded on the ruins of the city of Kinnigalikc (Placeholder name), a city under the As'ro-Pothriki Commonwealth which was destroyed by Nomadic Raiders in the countries collapse. The use of the land in which Ottirnalia was founded was originally inhabited by Dwarfs who maintained a small above ground colony and constructed a large underground city. The dwarven city today is formerly called the Undercity and acts as the quarters for miners. After the recolonization of Kinnigalikc and with short manpower Hogerzien called upon Helosians worldwide to rejoin him under a religious conviction. 80,000 showed up at first and soon after tens-of thousands more emigrated. Today the city is expanding and remains a massive undergoing project. The Helosian Spire (or the Upper-City) a fortress acolyte created by Gregori Mandurthim the chief architect of the city nears completion. 
== History ==
The History of Ottirnalia is ongoing, as of today it spans only a couple in-game days, in-lore however, the history of the city starts around 3000 years before the founding of Ottirnalia.
==== Etymology ====
The name Ottirnalia (Helosian: Oteranlå) (As'rian: Օտիրնալիա) was created in honor of the Old-Helosian god of Ottlir (Helosian: Oter) (Old-Helosian: ᛟᛏᚱᚨ) Ottlir was the old Helosian god of storms, war, trade, diplomacy, and people. 
==== Dwarven Occupation & Abandonment ====
As of current discoveries Dwarves are suspected to be the first settlers of the land upon which Ottirnalia resides. Dwarven artifacts have been discovered that date back to around 3000 years ago. Dwarven settlement on the surface was sparse, with a colony suspected of housing around 900 dwarves being discovered through minor archeological surveys of the land following the discovery of the Ottirnalian Undercity. Dwarven settlement on the surface was primarily to gain access to recourses unavailable.
However, under the surface around y level -30 to -50 a large Dwarven city was discovered, the city was discovered entombed in a deep cavern with numerous mining tunnels leading in and out. The city its self has a central large temple dedicated to an unknown dwarven god surrounded by 2000 large to small dwellings. With some being only 2 meter tall and others spanning over 10 meters tall. Under the temple in its foundation was a small palace. Being deep underground the city is also surrounded by molten lava which flow in rivers and down from the top of the cavern making the cavern over 125 degrees Fahrenheit unless your within the cold and damp houses.
In general not much is known about this dwarven city, with nothing written down, and much of the city degraded. Its believed however this city was occupied by a theocratic and monarchial dwarven state, with mining being its primary drive. The city was abandoned after a suspected 400 years of existence likely due to either plague or inner conflict.
