Mimyran

Mimyran is a coastal city in southwestern Phoacia, located near the mouth of the River Charymis. Today it lies within the Kirdan satrapy of Charamysa and serves as the satrap's provincial capital. It is a very old city; in ancient times it was an outpost and entrepot of Qossite power on the edge of Urem, and served as a base for the Sorcerer-Kings to extend their dominion over many Uremite tribal kingdoms in surrounding lands. It was spared during the Great Cataclysm because its position on the coastline sheltered it from the gigantic tsunamis which swept across the Sarpic Seas when Alborak was destroyed. 
In the decades that followed, Mimyran ruled itself as an independent city-state while around it Phoacia was convulsed with the wars and migrations of Uremite tribes. It still had Qossite walls and could still muster a powerful army, and its rulers still retained the service of mages who had been acolytes of Qoss (or learned from those who were). Thus it was well-able to defend itself against the Uremites, who the Mimyrenes regarded as no more than barbarians. It kept its independence for many centuries, but was finally conquered along with the rest of Phoacia by the Suagir hordes of Torkai Ul-Tash and his successors, and has been a part of the Kirdan Empire ever since. 
The city is noteworthy as the home of Kerestes of Mimyran, who departed there as an exile in those turbulent years after the Great Cataclysm and eventually crossed the ocean to reach Achuirea and found the Sarcian Empire.
