Riatavin
Riatavin is a city in eastern Tethyr, south of the Aurelian border and the Shilmista mounatins. Though near the River Ith, Riatavin does not have a port of it’s own and instead relies on Port Maraisa to the east for access to the river.
Riatavin has been a part of the Aurelian Duchies and an independent city-state in its history, though it is currently a Tethyrian city. There are hints of an underground insurgency motivated to free Riatavin from Tethyr again: a page was stabbed into a wedding announcement makes an encoded reference to the years 1347 (the year of the Tethyrian civil war) and 1501 (the current year).
The Calishite Campaign stopped outside Riatavin on their way to the Marching Mountains.

Neighborhoods
The Undercity - The basements of the building in Riatavin are connected by a network of tunnels and sewers that make up the undercity. The undercity is poorly mapped and essentially unpoliced, providing a highway for smugglers, a home for the destitute, and place to hide for those who don’t want to be found.
