The city of Phthelis is one less elegant than Aenorianes, but what they lack in elegance, they make up for in arrogance, many even believe they are better than the city of Aenorianes. The lower city is much smaller than the one in Aenorianes, but houses just as many of their poor. No temple above the city or large senate building, just an embassy with a common meeting place for the citizens, well, rich citizens.
The nobles are the true rulers of this city, not that inept nephew of his he put in charge. The nobles whisper in his ears, pay off the guards, and control the markets with an iron fist. The guards serve the nobles first, then the prince, then the people. They take advantage of his flaws to keep the city running the way they want.
