'''Alticium''' is a city in [[New Audonia]], of which it is the Cathedral City. It sits astride the Renva River, historically occupying both sides. | |||
The city was almost certainly established by the indigenous [[Gaelic people|Gaels]] of [[Levantia]] given its name root name "''Altic'' but very little is known of the original Gaelic settlement and virtually none of it remains. The city first appears in recorded history as a southern frontier fortress town of [[Great Levantia]] in around 170 BC. It remained a military outpost and gradually fell into disuse as the entire southern part of the continent was unified under Great Levantia, and after that state fell the city was virtually abandoned. With the arrival of [[Hištanšahr]] in the 7th century, the city became one of the westernmost outposts of the Hištanšahr, protecting significant passes into Hištanšahr from the west. During this time, the Latin city south of the river was mostly abandoned in favor of a new city on the northern bank of the Renva. The new, Uzdehzani-built city, took on a unique urban form - a series of concentric {{wp|pentagon}}s separated by canalways and walls of increasing height. During this period, it was referred to as ''Altiz'' by its new occupants, but retained its name among the proto-[[Urcean people]]. The reformation of Hištanšahr into the [[Kingdom of Gassavelia]] signficantly reduced the military significance of the city, and it once again became a relatively sleepy frontier town between Gassavelia and the [[Electorate of Canaery]]. Its populace by the high medieval period were primarily ethnic Urceans or [[Caenish people|Caens]]. | |||
