Gristilia is the largest city of Arezilur and its only major port. It stands on Gristilia Bay at the southern end of Beilisia, below the glass peaks of the Beilisco Mountains, and has about 60,000 inhabitants.
The city's wealth comes from the natural glass of Beilisia, which is carved straight from the mountains rather than smelted and is counted the best in the world. Gristilia has never been ruled by another state. It is governed by the Council of Gristilia, five elder women elected by the city's districts.
