Valiana

Valiana is the capital city of the Southern Republic, founded during the early years of the Casorian Empire it was created to be the centre of administration in the ever-rebellious Southern Territories. It has been tranferred from a symbol of Imperial oppression to the cultural and political hub for a new, free, Republic, as well as the centre for its martial force.
==History==
Founded in 224 BC, the Casorian Emperor required his rebellious and recently aquired vassals to declare total loyalty to him, in order to do so they required a stable government. Lockvalar however was too far to act as such and thus the city was created. Instead of a viceroyalty, the Emperor installed a Regent who could act with all the powers of the Imperial Crown within the Southern Territories. For thousands of years the city was torn down and rebuilt, and each time it was made harsher and harsher to the native population who were in almost restless rebellion. The cycle was broken when the Southern Civil War was won by the south and the city finally under the control of its people. The city's new leaders immediately set about destroying the relics of the Imperialist yoke, and creating a more open and welcoming atmosphere in the city. Since then many have returned to it, and slowly it is becoming bustling once more.
