I was comparing the city maps and it seems that Eleisa, ancient capital
city of Cuzei and one of the world's biggest cities in 600 ZE has
disappeared over the millenia. What happened to it? Is it the same as
Octinila?

<hr><i>Mark responds:
<p>It's long been in ruins... a combination of Cadhinorian repression
and neglect, medieval poverty, and barbarian invasions. Urban life
basically evaporated in all of Eärdur province, except its
capital, Octinila (modern Ozhnëa).
<p>The same thing happened in the western Roman Empire. Ancient Rome
had a population of well over 300,000. Colin McEvedy's map of cities
in AD 737, however, shows only two cities in Europe with as much
as 15,000 people: Toledo and Salonika. Cities like London were,
like Eleisa, completely abandoned in the Dark Ages.
