Tetenia exited the magneto-road in New Cortium along with Ellessa and Nervid, one of her male servants. They walked through a crowd of people, which almost seemed to part for them as they passed.
New Cortium, the largest city on the Sacred Isle, had been constructed from scratch after His Supremacy razed the old city of Cortium to construct what was now called Cortium Palace, one of His palaces. The city was located where the Delarnum River, which flowed into the lake at the Sacred Estate at its other end, flowed into the sea. Cortium was an old city, one of the Six Great Cities of Empire, and the commercial and cultural center of Pentash – the island that was rechristined the Sacred Isle after the Sacred Declaration. New Cortium was constructed across the river from the site of Cortium.
