Thissalinita is a city at the extreme southwestern corner of Ruencia. The city used to be the capital of the kingdom of Thissaly before that country was torn between East Thissaly and West Thissaly in the current brutal Thissalin Civil War.Thissalinita used to be the capital city of the Kingdom of Thissaly. In 1741 King Tarrin and his only heir were lost at sea while travelling to Trynser. The dynastic storm that roiled over the country took everybody by surprise with its intensity and savagery. Somehow through it all, the capital remained a neutral ground. Now it seems that the old kingdom may be split forever, leaving the city the capital of little more than the land inside its walls.Thissalinita was a grand city before the war, and now, untouched by the fighting, the city served as a safe place for a multitude of refugees from the more war torn lands.As a result, the city has over three times the population that it did before Tarrin died, making it the most populous city in the Small Lands, edging past war-ravaged Masqutase in Arumelia. In years past, a wide moat was built around the city, and a great wall just inside that, so the city’s expansion to the mainland has been limited, though a sizable refugee community does exist around the outside of the moat. Many live on eccentrically shaped polders created with magic out into the sea, but for the most part Thissalinita remains dangerously congested.Most of the food these people must live on has to be purchased from abroad, though some is magically summoned and more is taken from the seas. Still, most of the money the city-state makes is spent on food and they are increasingly vulnerable to different factions who offer supplies of grain and meat. The people of the city are fed a spartan ration provided by the government.
