Torcadino
: because of it's location at the intersection of various routes, the Genesian, the Northern Salt Line, the Northern Silk Road, the Pilgrim's Road, and the Eastern Way (or Treasure Road), Torcadino is a crossroads city. Once an ally of Ar, it served as Cosian stronghold and staging center, until reclaimed by Deitrich of Tarnburg. Torcadino is also notable for it's two aqueducts, built a century ago, which bring fresh waer from the Issus, a northwestwardly flowing tributary of the Vosk River.

This is a walled city-state not unlike Vonda. It has recently served as a mercenary stronghold during the Ar/Cos conflict. It occupies a position of great strategic importance in the central Gor. Torcadino is similar to any of the walled city-states of ancient Earth Greece.
