Zipus

Zipus is a city in northern Malfan and is the northern capital of the country. Its permanent population is around 25,000, which expands from time to time when the Grand Chief or other notables from Romaz visit from the south. It is located on the western edge of Lake Damusa, where the Duruso River flows westward and eventually reaches the Daligashi city of Lunduso. During the conquest of Malfan, Zipus was the first city conquered - the small town of indigenous Malfanders had been supplemented by Hulti and other rebellious sorts. The razing of the city in 229 and its rebuilding as an Omban military city forced rebellious elements south of the river and established a permanent disjuncture between north (Zipus) and south (Romaz) within Malfan. Today, Zipus has over 90% adherence to the Corps although in principle, religious freedom of the Hulti is respected there.
