Anzili (pronounced ahn-ZEE-lee) is a small city in central Brightmarch, located on the coast of the Gulf of Aserdus at the mouth of the Ikena River. The city is well-known for the longhouses built of bundled reeds in which its inhabitants live. Easily sourced from the surrounding marshes, this material is convenient and plentiful, both very important factors for the regular repairs needed after the yearly floods. During the rainy season many of those who live in Anzili temporarily leave, usually for one of various smaller settlements farther inland and away from the river, returning once the waters have receded once more.
Nearby to Anzili are a large elven outpost from the Eitan heyday. Today it sits semi-submerged in the sea, slowly decaying and home mostly to crabs.
