Nechta

Nechta is a city in the Dulama Highlands, often called the Gateway to the Highlands because of its strategic location at the highest navigable point of the River Abrea. Additionally, Nechta is just a short distance, less than a day's travel, from the enormous city of Dula, to which it serves as the river port. Its history has been closely tied to Dula's, and the city rose to incredible heights during the peak of the Dulama Empire. However, with the relocation of the capital west to Mora and subsequent decline of Dula, especially after the collapse of the empire, Nechta has fallen on hard times. It is currently ruled by the Vithanama Empire.
Like most of the cities of the traditional Dulama heartland, Nechta is dominated by an enormous sacrificial pyramid of the Dulama religion, albeit smaller than the ones found in the great cities of Dula, Tiagho and Anraugh, though even voluntary human sacrifices have been restricted and then banned by emperors of the Later Dulama Empire and the Vithanama Empire for about a century.
