Lothern
Inhabitants	High Elves
Type	Capital city, cityport
Location	Ulthuan, Eataine
Population	Several thousands
Allegiance	Phoenix King Finubar
Industry	International trade

Lothern is the greatest city of Ulthuan. The current Phoenix King is from Eataine, making Lothern the current political capital city. Human merchants are allowed to trade here and the city is a busy centre of international trade. Home to several thousand High Elves the city is guarded by the 10,000 strong Lothern Sea Guard besides sporting mighty walls and numerous defences.

Lothern has long been the traditional seat of the Phoenix King -- Caledor the Conqueror kept court here, and few of his successors chose to break with that tradition. The Lothern Sea Guard are the finest of Eataine's warriors. Skilled in both spear and bow, these veteran soldiers fight the Phoenix King's battles both on land and at sea. Should the armies of Ulthuan make war in a distant land, it is invariably the ships of Lothern that bear them hence, and the disciplined advance of the Lothern Sea Guard that will seize the beachheads.^[4a]

Heraldry

The banners and shields of Lothern bear the image of the Sea Dragon, Amanar, ancient protector of Lothern. Legend tells that Amanar sleeps fitfully beneath the Emerald Gate, and that he will rise up to defend Lothern in its hour of greatest need.^[4a]

The Sea Lords of Lothern have borne the same heraldry for over four thousand years.^[4a]
