Lothos (History)

Originally an independent city-state, Lothos was absorbed by Lithmore soon into the Consolidation. To avoid destruction, the Lothos city gates opened to the Davites as they approached, and a ceremonial guard formally submitted to the conquering King. The city had built, prior to Dav's arrival, a statue in tribute to him, and it was proudly unveiled upon his entry into the city. The Lothos folk had carved the symbol of Dav - the now ubiquitous Chalice - on the very streets of their city, and sites throughout the city alluded to one which was entirely in thrall to the conquering Davites. For their submission, King Dav ordered his troops to leave the city untouched, and even compensated the citizenry for the requisite supplies consumed by an army.

After the Consolidation, seeing how every other nation fought the Davite armies, many of the citizens of Lothos left its confines, moving elsewhere in the Realm. Many of the once-fine streets fell into disrepair, and the city is certainly a mere shadow of its once-grand image. However, to this date, some of the Realm's wealthiest persons reside within the city, and it is a crossroads for all transit east of Lithmore.
