Varrenvar

Varrenvar is the capital and most populated city in the Korlenten Sarinzerilin. The city is surrounded by the flowing of the the Maestro River from the
Korone Varna to the Zela Fanol, the mouth of the Sea of Iscava. To the North, Varrenvar is clouded by the Kladra Lorkol, a mountain range in the Briklor province. To the south, Varrenvar is under the protection of the thick Bokk Enlion, Sarinzerilin's largest forest in both the Lathralt and Anvarn Provinces.
Within Sarinzerilin, The Capital acts as a province under the direct ownership of the Greva Korlent.
== History ==
=== Foundation ===
The city was founded by Greva Korlent Felöks Zeno Hrafn in the year 2 TGZ. The first building in Varrenvar was a castle with the name Varrenvere . 
Originally, it was intended to be a small private estate for the royal family, but slowly high nobles and government members began to move to the city to be close to the Greva Korlent, creating an exclusive and very formal society.
A few years after moving to the city, these nobles began to build their own castles and estates around the countryside in the Korlenten, moving out of their homes in Varrenvar. These houses were then sold to those that would be willing to pay the most.
Naturally, a majority of the nation's population shifted to being merchants and knights in the continental guard, allowing Varrenvar to grow a larger economy of EXP and Weapons, which would be sold in the Mero Atza, the market square for Varrenvar. Roads and bridges such as the Maestro Asol to the East were constructed to allow the population to access this market and interact with others in the capital.
The Abyss Hrafn Arena was constructed in honour of the Greva Korlent's mother, Abyss Hrafn. This would be the largest Arena in all of Tanragh and would act as a social space for large events such as ceremonies and tournaments. This is the center of Varrenvar, some refer to it as "The Eye" and as a result to it's importance, a statue of Abyss was built outside along with The Savi Abyss Hrafn, one of the main roads in Varrenvar going North to South. The Great Hall of Varrenvar was also built for large gatherings out of the way, though the city would soon grow around it.
In the year 12 TGZ, Felöks Zeno Hrafn would be killed by a group of savages in Castanor on an expedition to the south. This meant that Varrenvar would go to the next Greva Korlent, Mishi Kagashi. Under the governorship of Mishi, Varrenvar faced lots of growth in it's population and economy. This can partly be credited to the increase in Akeshihofu followers across the nation simultaneously after a series of religious shrines and temples were built in Varrenvar and it would serve as a Holy Site.
During this period, gardens and trees were prioritised in Varrenvar to allow for more fresh air and greenery in the city. Most houses either had a garden or were very close to one and parks such as the Atza Abyss Hrafn and Sei Juver were built.
=== Current State ===
Varrenvar is currently going under heavy construction, as Veidrar prepares to take the throne. Large industrial facilities are being built underground to prepare for The Great Grind and citizens are coming from all over The Korlenten to visit or work in the capital as it's importance grows on a continental scale.
The people of Varrenvar are preparing a large ceremony for the coronation of Veidrar, which will take place in the year 24 TGZ
== Architecture ==
Varrenvar consists of a mix of large functional buildings such as the Abyss Hrafn Arena, Great Hall and Varrenvere with a mix of smaller residential buildings in the Nuvallen-Jellhem style. 
Originally, this architecture was used to mix housing from Floramii and Krobuny towns on Rathnir, in the capital but has now grown into the main theme of Simulamii cities around the world. The streets of Varrenvar are designed in a way that leaves spaces for parks and squares, allowing markets, gardens and monuments to be a part of a resident's every day life.
Most of the residential houses are relatively small. Less than 10 blocks in height and no more than 15 in width or length. They may be built diagonally to roads and are usually shaped in the shape of an "L" or "T" to allow residents to decorate freely.
Farming and Industry tends to be underground in a way to enhance the city's nature on the surface and increase it's beauty. This was originally a policy by Felöks during the preparation of The Great Grind and grow the capital at the same time."In most cases, people don't want to live in a place surrounded by Ugly farms. If it's necessary but looks bad, put it underground." - Felöks 
== Culture and Daily Life ==
Due to the nature of Varrenvar's industry being underground, citizens do not tend to stay inside of their homes much unless sleeping. Most of the population spend their time in the squares or public spaces such as churches or libraries. Through this process, they naturally build connections with other residents and grow a very close community, allowing for large events and ceremonies to be organised by average people as opposed to the government or nobles like in many other towns.
The citizens of Varrenvar take every opportunity to celebrate and give back to The Korlenten with large tournaments, religious services and feasts taking place almost every week in the city organised by anyone willing to put in the work.
It is widely believed that if you wish to grow close to The Royal Family or befriend the Greva Korlent, then Varrenvar is the perfect place for that as this is where they reside. In other towns around the Korlenten, meeting a royal would only happen once or twice in a resident's life. This results in the residents of Varrenvar being able to advance through the ranks quickly and in some instances, they may be given noble titles by the Greva Korlent and a separate estate. People from outside the city use this to call the citizens of Varrenvar ambitious, but also cunning and lazy.
Nobles in Varrenvar are not uncommon either, with many owning their own homes just like regular citizens. Varrenvar is one of the only places where they accept this lifestyle as it is the centre of the nation and in many ways, Nobles see citizens of Varrenvar as higher than citizens of other towns due to their ambition.
