Nilathyr

Nilathyr, one of Aíana 's two capitals, stands as a formidable fortress atop a mountain, crafted entirely of magically controlled glacial ice that gleams with an otherworldly beauty. Its ruler, the imposing Lady Tíavel , is known for her ambition and desire to dominate Aíana, causing tension and unease among the kingdom's inhabitants. The capital's icy walls and towers reflect the cold and calculating nature of its ruler, with whispers of magical experiments and dark rituals conducted within its frozen halls adding to its mysterious and foreboding reputation.   Strategically located and governed with iron-fisted precision, Nilathyr aims to forge alliances with Lashaar to solidify its dominance over the fractured nation of Aíana. As Lady Tíavel- and her battle-tested military advisor, Briar - schemes to expand her influence and secure her hold on power, the icy halls of Nilathyr become a bastion of strength and intrigue in a land plagued by political uncertainty and turmoil.  
Nilathyr's glacial ice serves as a vital and unique magical resource for the kingdom of Aíana, with its properties coveted by mages and scholars alike. The ice is said to contain powerful elemental energies that can enhance spells, potions, and enchantments, making it highly sought after for magical experimentation and crafting. Additionally, and perhaps ironically, the glacial ice of Nilathyr is believed to have protective qualities, warding off malevolent spirits and dark forces, further solidifying its significance as a valuable asset for the kingdom's defense and mystical pursuits.
