Adiis

Adiis is a toponym used in fantasy fiction and tabletop role-playing games to designate a coastal city. Because Adiis appears across different works, its geography, history, and institutions vary by source.

Geography and urban layout: In many depictions, Adiis sits on a sheltered inlet along an eastern coast, with a fortified harbor and a medieval to early industrial urban core. The city is divided into the Old Quarter, the Market District, and the Harbor Ward, linked by cobbled streets and canals in some versions.

History: The city is typically described as ancient, with a founding myth and a long tradition of seafaring commerce. It often plays a pivotal role as a trade nexus between inland realms and foreign ports, and has endured conflicts, fires, and natural disasters in some narratives.

Economy and society: Adiis commonly centers on trade, shipbuilding, and crafts. Its ruling body is often a Merchants’ Council or a federation of guilds; religion is diverse, with temples to multiple deities representing a mercantile citizenry.

Role in media: The name appears in novels, wargames, and role-playing campaigns as a flexible setting that can adapt to different genres, from political intrigue to maritime adventure.

Note: Because Adiis is used across multiple works, details such as its exact location, governance, and culture are not fixed and may differ between sources.
