Üterlëk (or Uterleek in English) is the largest city, and de facto capital of mainland Nordia. The city serves not only as the primary industrial and trade hub of the nation, but also as the primary residence of the King of Nordia. Due to these facts, Üterlëk is often mistaken as the capital of the kingdom, however, in reality Üterlëk serves only as Nordia's public front with its actual capital Küfara being (for the most part) only accessible to ethnic Nord people.

NordCorp Trade Center (tower one pictured) are the tallest structures in Nordia and the primary modern centerpiece of Üterlëk. The three tower complex is home to several corporate offices, apartments, restaurants, shops, condominiums and even a hospital. The towers are named after the NordCorp Export Company who takes up a majority of the pictured tower's upper floors and financed the project. | |
Üterlëk Cathedral is the oldest structure in the city with its origins dating back to at least the early to mid 11th century with the first mainland Nords and the genesis of Apollonianism as a religion. The cathedral is the primary place of worship for non-ethnic Nord Apollonianism followers and an annual pilgrimage to the cathedral is a central part of many non ethnic Nord's religious lives. | |
Üterlëk Castle is the primary residence of the King of Nordia and serves as the meeting place of Nordia's government during matters of foreign affairs and trade. | |
Old Üterlëk Market is a block on the outskirts of the city where shops and buildings still echo Üterlëk's appearance in the old times. Home to taverns, open topped markets and, small inns, the Old Üterlëk Market provides a glimpse back in time to Nordia's quaint origins. |
