Otofu (Asakan: Otofu /ɘtɘθɯ/), officially the Independent Borough of Otofu-Afanixi is the capital and largest city of Yakormonyo. With 1.5 million residents according to the 2021 Census, it is the second largest city in Lower Boroso after Ikolinis; although its greater metropolitan area of 2 million falls behind larger conglomerates. The city lies at the mouth of the Sirion River, expanding westward along the shores of Otofu Bay and the islands of Orosi and Firaua.
Etymology
The name 'Otofu' derives from the Old Asakan words oto "water" and fusi "tails", referring to its location in the mouth of the Sirion Delta.
