Iflaisko

Iflaisko (Thu Parsh: Krong Lan) is the largest city in the Duchy of Nulu and a major center for indigenous Nuluan culture. It has around 24,000 residents, of whom only around 15% are Ombans - mainly Sentinels and their families, and Thu Parsh is the everyday language of commerce there. Located at the far north of the duchy where the rocky coast of the sea meets the Brekleb (Baraklef) River, Iflaisko has close cultural ties to the coastal Luetkan towns to the west, and is a major defensive fort along the river against incursions from the north. Although it, along with all of Nulu, was formally incorporated into the Omban Empire in 161 IE, over 600 years ago, Iflaisko remains quite strident about its independence from Imperial customs to the present. The city is a jewel of Nuluan architecture with great stone columnar estates set against the river and the sea.
