'''Pieda''' is the capital of the state of the same name ([[Pieda (State)]]).

== History ==

Before [[The Scourge]], Pieda was one of a number of minor city-states along the coast of [[The Great Bay]].  After the fall of [[Lyndrast]] to the south, it was left in an advantageous position.  The Isthmus it sits on was then, as now, the only safe route between the east and west halves of [[Omnia]].  At its smallest, all travelers must go through an area no greater than 5 miles in width.  This reality was what caused the construction of [[Pieda's Gates]], making the government fantastically wealthy.
