Pogol City

Pogol City (Also known as Mist Capital) is a seaside city state. It gained its nickname from the deep mists that roam the shores most of the year. It is the capital of Pogol, a member nation of the Lanista League.
== Founding ==
Harkoma who were banished from their tribes made themselves at home on the coast in the west. Although they were initially unable to trade with their former people, inland mercantilism made them prosperous very quickly. With their relations improved, they dared to trade with the easterners - a dare that paid off. When travelers and immigrants made their way back to their shanty town, their economy boomed, and a city was born.
== Economy ==
Pogol's primary economy comes from overseas shipping and trade. Although they are seaside, they have no real export of their own save for a few ores and gemstones. However, tithing from the temples of Thena provide a substantial boost to the government when taxes are collected.
Pogol sees trade coming from up and down the west coast, as well as regions such as Hollen in the east, and the Harkoma who still roam the seas.
== Religion ==
Becoming land bound had the former Harkoma people in debt to Thena, the goddess over the Stone Temples. To show their appreciation to the land dwellers who accepted them, they had temples to Thena built in Pogol. Over time, it became the dominant religion in the area, and eventually a slew of temples and a large church was built in the city walls. Unfortunately, the aftermath of the Pogol War left a sour impression of the cardinal at the time. Although he has since been replaced, worship and pilgrimages to the temples in Pogol have suffered.
