Atlanti, Guardian of the North

 

This is one of the first cities I ever worked on for my C&S game. Atlanti is a city located on the western shore of the North Sea. At one time an independent country, Atlanti (the country) was conquered by Mercia. The City of Atlanti became the seat of a Duke, while the Cathedral remained the seat of an Arch Bishop. 

The city is often referred to as the city in the clouds, but that usually is accompanied by a sarcastic tone. Vapor rises up from the swamp waters and fog frequently rolls in from the sea. This combination enshrouds 'High town', which is built on an escarpment, creating the impression of a city floating on clouds. Lowton on the other hand is often blanketed in a thick foul smelling cloying mist. This makes it difficult and dangerous to move about. The area called the Shambles is the most affected area. Those in High Town appreciate the obscuring fog, but could do without the smell.
