Altaica

Altaica is a small island immediately to the south of Clusiana. With a population of only 15,000, it is one of the least populated inhabited islands in the Kingdom of Lato. Altaica is a hilly island, the average elevation being more than a thousand feet above sea level.

Locations
Altaica is known for three locations: the cities of Norna and Tipularia and the Temple of Hera.

Norna
Norna is the most populated city on the island, with a population of 8,000. It is a sleepy city with a relaxed air about it. Tourism is uncommon so the people of Norna can be a bit hostile towards outsiders. The mines around the city provide its economy, specializing in metal and stone mining.

Tipularia
With a population of just 3,000, Tipularia is one of the smallest organized cities in the kingdom. Unlike its sister city of Norna, Tipularia welcomes visitors, as its famous art museum attracts tourism from all across the Lato Island Cluster. Most of the city's economy centers around the museum.

Temple of Hera
The Goddess of marriage and intrigue, nobody is quite sure why her temple is located on such a small island. The temple is maintained by the Saxatilis royal family, as nearly every temple in the kingdom is. Built more than 10,000 years ago, the temple is the oldest architectural feature on the island, but otherwise is not very notable.
