Mithat is a walled port city in the Kingdom of Nyrond.
Geography
Mithat is on the coast of Relmor Bay at the southern end of the Sword Road.[1]
History
About the end of the Greyhawk Wars and prior to Spring 585 CY King Archbold III revoked the grant of town rulership of the local noble family, following on from the incompetence of Royal General Basmajenn having gotten most of them killed.[1]
At the end of the Greyhawk Wars the Battle of Blazebane saw Nyrond fight the forces of the Great Kingdom to a halt defending Mithat.[1]
In Spring 585 CY the city was a virtual military garrison with 4,000 naval militia and 3,000 troops stationed there to guard against Duke Szeffrin's forces in the former Prelacy of Almor. General Younard and Admiral Hugarnd jointly administered it. Unlike many other areas the naval forces based in the city were well disciplined and regarded themselves as elite, being disgusted at the virtual piracy other naval forces had engaged in at times. About 3,000 Almorian refugees had fled there, but found work and homes. The population had seen the fiends, undead, orcs and other evil forces that had destroyed Almor, and knew why Almor's people had fled to Nyrond, reaulting in a wartime spirit still prevailing in the city.[1]
