Antara-Ethcabar is a free port city located at the mouth of the Nie River. It is known as Antara in Limbri, the language of Rondis, or Ethcabar in Aslarian. It was originally founded and controlled by an early Rondissian empire in the early days of the iron age, two thousand years ago. In those near forgotten days, a fledgling collection of cities and farms stretched from the sea to the desert along the Nie Valley, including the city of Telemenx/Taranor. However, the arrival of tribes who would one day become known as the Assi drove Rondissian power to its current stronghold in the Connemara Mountains, leaving the well-defended Antara-Ethcabar in control of its own fate.
It has continued in its freedom for millenia, playing off the neighboring powers of Arangoth and Aslar. Arangoth attempted to conquer Antara-Ethcabar once, roughly 150 years ago, but failed miserably due to a number of mishaps during the campaign and the alliance between Ethcabar and Aslar. While Arangoth mourns this loss in the 'Fast of Ethcabar' every year, Antarans celebrate the 'Feast of Ethcabar' on the same day. See Arangoth's attempt to conquer Ethcabar for more information.
