Shirûn

Shirûn was founded by EasternKhan as a successor town of Maerûn of old Jagdas and was currently a duchy in the Maritime Kingdom of Aezenfjord.
== Location==
The city is built on the Great Plain of Midland Sparwood Minor, between the Verheaven Mountains of southern Posavaria, the Interdam Desert, and the Northern Valdreach mountain range. The city is built in a mixed South-Asian and Mongolian style and has many small settlements across the plain to enforce the city's claims to the region.
*Middle Shirûn - Capital of the region and the seat of the Khan.
* Runads - Shirûn's easternmost settlement bordering the city-state of New-Interland and where the Great Horse of the border is. It also has a beef ranch and small farm.
*Saurun - The most southernly settlement bordering Valdreach. It also has a sheep and horse ranch.
*Midrun - A central settlement also consisting of sheep and horse ranches, and containing several border outposts and smaller farms in the region.
==Religion & Culture==
The sole religious belief in Shirûn is a local pagan religion, often called Shirûnic Paganism. Other religions are accepted, but are not endorsed by the government. Shirûnic culture is largely based on horse rearing and breeding, with much attention given to them and their sacredness in the faith. It is a crime to harm or kill any while in the territory for non-religious reasons.

The Shirûn stable house is built on the outer edge of the town and has room for 24 horses within it. It contains the finest horses in Shirûn and are extremely valuable to the town.
===Shirûn Library===
The library is one of the most ancient buildings in Shirûn, with the recently-discovered crypts containing the Ancient Texts and artefacts that form the basis of Shirûnic Paganism. The building has been restored and is now taking in more texts from foreign cultures.

The Great Hall is the centrepiece of the town and where the Khan is seated. It contains the Royal Vaults and valuable heads.
==History==
Shirûn was originally settled as a territory of the Valdreach Imperial Republic, just south of its sister territory of Posopotamia. It declared independence as the Khanate of Shirûn not long after Posopotamia did, and chose to become a tributary of the newly formed Republic of Posavaria on the 12th of November, 2020.
A few weeks later, it joined the Republic of an autonomous region on the 29th of November.
Sometime around the 15th of December, the Khan of Shirûn moved to Escharia, and Shirûn was essentially abandoned. A few isolated players lived in the region but did not interact much with other Posavari citizens.
On the 11th of February, 2021, after the collapse of the Soleannan Empire, the Khan of Shirûn moved back into his ancestral homeland and refounded the capital.
During the dissolution of the Republic of Posavaria, Shirûn was sold to Aezenfjord for $1.
