Ezhara's Cities

There are a total of 16 major cities in Ezhara, and each is associated with a particular culture.

## Woroshire

The capital of Ezhara, the Blue City of Woroshire was founded during the nation's expansion inwards. Today, the city is known for its hot springs and the Leonardo Academy of the Arts, which is considered the most prestigious Ezharan academy for rising actors. While a friend in Woroshire may be a bit on the dull side, their passion for the arts ought to be deeply respected.

## Suðurkulda

The southernmost city of Ezhara, Suðurkulda was founded by Cynedrycan colonists. Today, the city is known for its coal mines, which were essential in the city's industrialization, and for its massive coastal stretch because of the mountains behind the city. Suðurkuldan youths are generally regarded as the most pleasant out of Ezhara, in part due to the way that the chill brings together families.

## Caleo

Founded by a native population known as the Prasidnas, the city of Caleo would become known for its orchards, producing wide arrays of fruit and timber, and these forestry resources make up a bulk of the city's exports to other regions, with Ezharawood, Ezhara nut, and citrus being especially famous. Caleon children are often the most mischievous, though they are frequently loyal friends as well.

## Femasa

Placed at the far land borders of Ezhara, a quick envoy from Cholätipaqmi after the city's founding led to Femasa being tasked with keeping out any foreigners from the north for the Cholätipaqmin empire. Consequently it has the most well-developed military of the cities, and Femasan kids are some of the most diplomatic — and perhaps nationalistic — of Ezhara.

## Jae-Syu

While unclaimed by the wider Cynedrycan empire, this Gugtonese city's firefly-adorned beaches, idyllic summers, vast public transport network, and modern communications make a Jae-Syu childhood the most enviable of the cities, and Jae-Syu children are by far the most chic, modern, and with-the-times out of the Ezharans. It is also known to have developed several Vocaloids, which have become popular with the youth of the city.

## Byarova

Originally a minor Trekkish trading outpost, the city of Byarova gradually grew, even managing to import and ride elk in the tropical lands of northern Ezhara. As industrialization swept Ezhara, it seemed to miss Byarova, but the city eventually flourished in the electronics sector, relying on Sessenanian sand and local lithium sources. Naturally, its electronics have always been immensely popular in Jae-Syu. With Trekkish elk alongside their electronic specialty, you'll have to be a friend of a Byarovan for quite some time before you'll be able to understand their peculiar interests.

## Odona

A former colony of Ninhundland, the city of Odona was soon inundated by migrants from Isatoshan Meliodas. A need for constant dialogue between the new migrants and the preexisting Ninhundish resulted in a city that is today deeply religious and philosophical, as well as adorned with churches. Naturally, Odonan children act surprisingly mature for their age, though their religious devotion often looks ridiculous to the outside viewer.

## Földerstadt

A more prideful colony of Ninhundland, Földerstadt's brutal regime against the native populations in the region's mines remain deep in the city's conscience. Still, none can doubt that the city's industrial and mineral power is one of the greatest in Detrana, partially because of Ninhundland's incessant pampering of their former colony. The youth of Földerstadt are known for their effective leadership skills, though their interactions with the native Ezharans are often uncomfortable.

## Canzurbina

Serving as an outpost between Woroshire and the Ninhundish colonies, Canzurbina became the site of exchange for the Woroshirian homesteaders and the established northeastern colonies, and inhabitants of both cities often stopped by Canzurbina in order to receive the latest updates concerning the frontiers and the more established regions. With its great array of craftsman and crops, this city became a trusted supplier for those who had ventured into the wilderness, and the reign of an eccentric mercenary resulted in the construction of a vast library for the edification of pioneer families. Today, Canzurbina is known for its vibrant shopping centers, workshops, and libraries, resulting in a wide array of personalities and skills for their youth.

## Sessenan

A prior holding of today's Cynedrycan Osmanli, the inhabitants of Sessenan are a proud people that revere fire and water on their riverbank, and their tough heritage means that Sessenanian children are often the most impulsive out of Ezhara. However, the Odonans deeply despise the Sessenan "heresy" and "disobedience to God," and this has been a long-standing issue between the two cities.

## Harikuni

An expansion of the Osmanli colonies, the city of Harikuni developed a strong tradition of creating legislation and paper, with a small ranching industry also being present, especially for lambs. Being at the primary pass between Woroshire and the southeastern desert, Harikuni developed a vast water network to ensure that traveling merchants could always be hydrated. With so much dialogue in this city, you'll often find yourself in the good graces of a Harikunin quite quickly, what with their exceptional social skills — or, are they simply manipulative?

## Msdal-nahr

Perhaps the only city able to hold its own against Sessenan's pride, Msdahl-nahr holds the source of Sessenan's river. Elsewhere in the region, tourism is a great popularity: kasbahs dot the landscape, aromatic restaurants tempt visitors, and the Blue Town Alzrqa's sapphire and blue buildings are a great fame — so great, in fact, that a peculiar Khaw si Keean company has taken over much of the sapphire mines. Msdahl-nahr's children are frequently seen as quiet and respectful, and are the sort that prefer showing their skills rather than talking of them.

## Suzurai

The Michese and Rahdikivians had a stroke of luck in migrating to Ezhara during the nation's expansion inward, as land was plentiful for them to create the city of Suzurai, which speaks a creole of the two languages. Working together, these two cultures managed to create vibrant traditions within their city, especially in the form of tea plantations and tea ceremonies. In contrast to Jae-Syu, Suzuraigan kids are often knowledgeable of their traditions, and are not nearly as quick to hop to the newest trend.

## Cholätipaqmi

Versus other native civilizations, the city of Cholätipaqmi traces its heritage to that of the powerful Chulatipakmin empire, which managed to withstand colonialism by aggressive modernization with the aid of a nearby colony, Din Thi Di. While they did manage to forcibly industrialize later on, it was by no means an easy task, and much of the city's modern infrastructure is said to be built upon the bones of forgotten workers. Cholätipaqmi remains competitive even today, albeit in the form of sports. Still, the city's powerful imperial legacy has meant that the other larger cities in the area share much of its culture, to the point that their Talents are often considered to be Cholätipaqmin instead. With such a large legacy to bear, Cholätipaqmi's youth are proud and competitive, and not one to back down from a fight.

## Din Thi Di

Founded by lost Khaw si Keean knights, the city of Din Thi Di quickly became a close friend of Cholätipaqmi via a prosperous gun trade. While those knights did not find their so-called Garden of Eden in the area, the land nearby was nonetheless remarkably fertile, and plantations are a common site in the region. This quiet lifestyle of agriculture means that Din Thi Di youths are the best at practical skills, such as cooking, cleaning, and camping — but be warned not to insult any of these weak interests, for the Khaw si Keean legacy means that many of them are skilled in, and respectful with, weaponry.

## Jach'ali Tup'a

A former vassal of Cholätipaqmi, Jach'ali today maintains friendly relations with them, and had the fortune of resisting the empire's cultural imperialism versus the other cities. The city's fertile fields are known for being the site of several plantation-based resources, namely coca leaves, vanilla, and chocolate, and later on, indigo, opium, and sugar. Scarlet macaws — the city's famed pets — also populate the nearby rainforests. So they say, if you've got a wild animal or an unidentified plant, a Jach'ali Tup'a friend can get it identified and used in minutes.
