New Evias was the capital city of Vorpatril's District on Barrayar. Upriver from Vorbarr Sultana, it was mostly modernized, with computerized traffic controls that could have used some tuning in its attitude control. It was also a much smaller city than Vorbarr Sultana, with about a tenth the population. Almost the only Time-of-Isolation building still standing in New Evias was the Count's District Court.
