Vinarrin

Vinarrin is a minor city located in the Marshlands region of the Empire of Sevicia. It is the seat of the House of Persalex, one of the oldest ruling families in Sevicia, which has played host to a number of governors and statespeople over the years, including the current governor of Vinarrin, Arnas Persalex. Vinarrin is a city of lesser importance than others in Sevicia, often forgotten in favour of its larger neighbouring cities, such as Maenaea, Austaea, and Meirum. Despite this, it is the home of numerous buildings of importance and the birthplace of many Sevician political and military figures, including the former Imperator of Sevicia, Manus VII.
The city was founded by settlers from further inland sometime in the fourth of fifth centuries B.S, and was occupied and assimilated into the Sun Empire in 379 B.S. For the next four centuries it enjoyed status as a centre of commerce in the region and a base for Sun military operations in the south of the continent. It was sacked and burnt to the ground by the Sun King during the Great Separation, and its citizens were either massacred or sold into slavery across the Lothor Sea. By the fourth century it had grown to larger than it had been even before its sacking, and the present city is home to more than 150,000 people. Vinarrin is considered a military stronghold in the region, with Vinarrin Northpoint serving as a base of operations for more than 20,000 soldiers in times both of peace and war. The famous Crownhood Military Academy for Students, which boasts an alumni that includes former Imperator Manus VII, is located in Vinarrin's west quarter.
Vinarrin has a mild climate, with the warmest months in Mandera seeing an average amount of sunlight and heat and the coldest months, in early Tullena, receiving more than a foot of snow. Like much of the Marshlands region, Vinarrin sees an above-average amount of yearly precipitation. Located ot its immediate north is the larger city of Meirum; to its south is Maenaea; its east, Austaea; to its west lie the great Wonderwood Forests. Demographically, Vinarrin's population skews young and primarily ethnic Sevician, with small but concentrated groups of Jastians and Itrusics and a handful of Duscadorians. Like the rest of Sevicia, the majority of Vinarrin's population worship the Old Gods, and religious holidays are observed in accordance with wider Sevician law.
