York

''"York is not a marvelous city. Sure, it's big, but not as big as Riverholm or Cagil. Nor is it as splendid as Vice or Heen. What is special about York however is that it has perfectly captured the essence of an entire people. It is a city of industry, brotherhood, and honour. And nothing is more Ithilian than that. Beauty in simplicity; that is the Ithilian way." --J.K. Martin, The Wanderer's Guide to Altmar ''
