It is an important gateway between Western Europe and the Byzantine Empire. It's architecture is an eclectic mix of Arabian, Greek and European influences.

The town was found on the 8th of December 2018 by Brentbourguignon as "Ur". Soon after being found, the town was invited to join the Italia nation, which it subsequently did. Residents of [[Amalfi]] (another Italian town) however performed frequent raids on the city and this made Ur soon leave Italia again. A few days later, on the 12th of December, Ur found an ally in Byzantium and thus joined their nation. In honour of joining Byzantium, the town was renamed Brentopolis to fit the greek theme and later again renamed to Hydruntum. After it's turbulent beginnings Hydruntum grew steadily, both in number of chunks owned and in residents. Numerous towns and nations have formed and fallen in the vicinity but Hydruntum remains a bastion of stability in a turbulent region.
