Zinthur

Zinthur is the administrative center of the Harnese region of Hurva. It lies at a crossroads - the north-south road runs from Nermohoff, through Serdon and south to Angog Post and eventually Ealsor. The east-west road leads from the Kafetran city of Sirio and through Fabricata, before passing through Zinthur and running northwest to the Harnese hinterland.
Zinthur was founded as the capital city of the Sernurian civilisation, being purpose-built some time during the Great Gap. Though the city was planned before it was built, its architects and city planners were uneducated and amateur, leading to major sewage problems that spread plague and disease through the city on more than half a dozen occasions in the eighty-two years it was occupied by the Sernurians.
The city was abandoned when Sernuria collapsed in 485, and remained unoccupied until the Tungrids arrived in the early 6th Century. They inhabited the outskirts of the city initially and, seeing the problems with infrastructure, the first three governors of Zinthur ripped up the roads of the central city and installed an advanced sewage system that was modelled on that of Eremanthus, a city in the Flentia River valley from which the Tungrids had originated.
Since then Zinthur has been a successful city, thriving on the produce of the two rivers it overlooks - the Hurva and Astarciy. The great old temples of the Sernurians have been adapted into government offices and large workshops.
