Velika is the capital city of Niata. Ruled by King Tryphon, it for a time hosted Varvara, Demetrios and Sotiria Kokkinos.

Azizah and Sunset Water spend some time in the city before realizing that King Tryphon was hiding something of value that the could use to pressure King Herodotos of Neraida. After some investigating it was discovered that he was hiding the Kokkinos family, and the circle concocted a plot with King Herodotos to free them from their confinement so they couldn't be used to start the next bout of Thesian wars by destabilizing Paralia's politics and Melitea along with it.

The discovery that they were staying there entirely willingly caused that plot to fall apart rather rapidly.
