Vonda:
A fairly large port city on the Olni river, which took
part in a disastrous territorial war against Ar several years
ago. Now rebuilt, it is known for its production and training
of male Gladitorial fighting slaves. It is therefore a large
Gladitorial center.
Free women are typically well-received there, and several
of the training houses are owned by such free women. It is
similar to any of the walled city-states of ancient Earth
Greece.
Located
down river of the Olni River, on northern bank, north of Lara,
it is part of the Salerian Confederation.
Vonda has no tarnsmen.

Salerian
Confederation:
It is also known as the Four Cities of Saleria. The Confederation
consists of the cities of Ti, Vonda,
Port Olni and Lara, which all lie on the Olni River. The largest
and principal city is Ti.
The Confederation is a growing power in the north. Ti is farthest
from the joining of the Olni and Vosk Rivers, Port Olni is
next in line, then Vonda and Lara. Lara lies at the junction
of the Olni and Vosk. This alliance is one reason the Olni
River is mostly free of pirates.
The Confederation got its name because the oath of the league
was signed in the meadow of Salerius on the northern bank
of the Olni between Port Olni and Vonda.
The Confederation maintains close relations with Cos due to
their mutual distrust with Ar.
