Leun

See also: Leunan Empire
Leun was the capital and largest city of its eponymous empire, and one of the largest cities in the eastern half of the known world. Founded by Opulensi colonists in the distant past, the city used its strategic position and excellent harbor to fashion a maritime commercial network stretching from the Opulensi states in the west to the Acaya in the northeast. The city prospered as the center of a growing empire, sprawling far along the coasts, with no real need for defenses. An invasion by Gadia in one of many Eastern Wars threatened the capital with a landward assault, prompting the construction of a magnificent series of walls. The Leunan populace promptly ignored these walls and continued to build in concentric rings past them.
The city skyline is dominated by a great bullfighting arena in the center, the product of imperial sponsorship and high entertainment for all classes.
