Arutal, the “Gateway to the East”, is the capitol of Liath and sister city to Soledad which lies across the waters of the Bay of siochana. Arutal is a primate city and is the largest port city on the continent. Nestled between the shallow Bay of siochana and the sprawling Koura grasslands, Arutal serves as the center of Liath's industry, trade, and culture

Arutal is connected to the interior of the continent via shipping routes between it and Kiyume. Normal tradeships are too large to sail the waters of the bay, which can be as shallow as ten feet deep. Shallow barges are crafted specifically for these waters, giving Liath unique control over trade within its borders

Liath is often known for its mysterious ability to renew the spirit, making it the destination of pilgrimage for many Terrans. Most cities in Liath are known for their serenity and peace, but Arutal is known for its hustle and bustle. Despite its more chaotic nature, the citizens are warm, friendly, and charismatic. Many who travel to Liath seeking to find themselves find Arutal to be a springboard for their journey
