Orcistus (pronounced or-KISS-tuss) is a small city in the Viridian province of Attalea Minor, located on the coast of the Phiora Sea at the mouth of the [[DragonPeak River. It is the northernmost settlement of significant size in the Dominion. For a brief time in the first century of the tenth millennium, Empress Drusa relocated the seat of Viridian power - including not only her court but the entire senate as well - to Orcistus, so as to be closer to her estates south of the city. Upon her death in Y9031* her successor promptly moved the capital back to Ilirnas. The senatorial estates of the empress' family lie in ruins today, the house long ago having faded to obscurity.
