	'''Mirtai''' {{Pronunciation\|MEER-tie}} is the largest community of strix in the world. ~~The de facto capital of~~ the island of [[Corax]]~~, the city is home to around 6,000 individuals~~.		'''Mirtai''' {{Pronunciation\|MEER-tie}} is the largest community of strix in the world, home to around 12,000 individuals. It is also by far the largest settlement on the island of [[Corax]].

	~~{{CitiesCorax}}~~		== History ==
			It is unknown how long the strix have lived on Corax. Ancient strix legends tell of a war that forced the strix to retreat from the [[Greenwall]] of [[Hellea]] to their present abode, though most of the details have since been lost to time.

			== Demographics ==
			The population of Mirtai is almost entirely strix, though some individuals of other ancestries join the island's inhabitants from time to time.

			== Culture ==

			=== Religion ===
			Most Mertaians are irreligious, only passingly paying homage to various deities. A form of agnosticism that views gods as inherently unknowable and incomprehensible is widespread. The minority of Mertaians that are religiously devout tend to follow [[Usumu]]/[[Ino]] or [[Shai]]/[[Psais]] - the strix have been influenced by both Chaskan and Hellean faith.

			=== Traditions ===
			The strix of Mirtai organize themselves largely along familial lines - it is uncommon for residents of the city, and indeed most inhabitants of Corax, to live far from where they were raised. When introducing themselves, it is typical to include the names of close family as well - with the small population of Corax, it is not improbable that their new acquaintance will be familiar with at least one family member already.

			=== Society ===
			It is highly unusual for the strix of Corax to leave the island, as the closely-knit nature of their communities means that few are willing to leave their families behind. Those that do depart are often outcasts or have a mission to help their communities.

			=== Languages ===
			Effectively all inhabitants of Mirtai speak the racial language Strix, and many understand [[Common]] as well. Other languages are less common, but it is not particularly unusual to find a Mertaians who knows [[Hellean]], Jotun, or other languages spoken around the [[Sea of Khoros]].

			=== Architecture and urbanization ===
			Ancient ruins, very similar in appearance to the buildings of the [[Zalmoxis\|Zalmoxan]] city of [[Vegavis]], can be found on Corax. Mirtai itself is built partially on top and within a particularly sizable set of these ruins. Despite the extensive damage the structures have sustained over time, the strix have repurposed and reconstructed these ruins into a city that suit their needs, beautiful in a jarring way.

			== Relations ==
			Despite the pirates that frequent the island of [[Meklaw]] to the southwest, Mirtai sees few of these brigands. As relatively little trade visits Corax the pirates have few opportunities for plunder, and the island's strict enforcement of laws towards outsiders provides further discouragement.
