Alarez

Alarez is the capital of the Spital continent, the only one of the five continents inhabited by humans and other living beings. It is located in the east of Spital and slightly to the south, so the weather is often tropical, although winters can reach very low degrees.

### - ***History of Alarez***

Alarez has existed for thousands of years. It was one of the first cities to be founded and soon became the capital of the world. The Kings of the Old Times have always lived there and ruled from the ***Tower of Arza***, the tallest building that humans have ever built. It was made to thank Arza, the Goddess who would rule their world, and try to reach her in the heavens, where she would live. Humans have always believed that Arza lives in the stars and sleeps on clouds, feeds on planets and dances with black holes. Nowadays, this belief was gradually lost, but some people continued to believe in it wholeheartedly. Some even say they see Arza kissing the moon before going to sleep.

Alarez has always been ruled by Kings and Queens, several at a time. For them, it was totally normal to be several to rule a country, even if some states did not appreciate it. The capital has always continued to prosper through the ages and even after the ***Drama of Assembla*** and the arrival of the Longers three hundred years ago, Alarez never threatened to fall. This capital will always be there to protect humans and species from all over the world. Some say it is because of the perfect geographical position of the capital, others, more religious, say that it is the blessing of Arza that acted on Alarez, the city where the Tower of Arza shines with all its beauty. The Longers have never managed to penetrate the walls of the capital and whoever lives there believes in its eternal protection.

Alarez operates on a system of equality and justice. They reward those who work, those who prove themselves worthy of reward and punish those who deserve to be punished. They do not want a rich side and a poor side, but a society where money does not rule, but where the citizens of Alarez rule. Some say that one day this will bring Alarez to its own demise, but history proves that such a system, so well managed, was not a problem. It was mainly the nobles who grumbled about such a system: after all, in Alarez they were not nobles, but citizens.

### - ***The Rulers***

For a few years now, three groups have been ruling over Alarez: ***the Royalty***, composed of the 3 Kings and 3 Queens of the Land of Equiam; ***the Golden Justice***, composed of several members who exercise the JUSTICE of Alarez; and ***Aurora Life***, a group that is as well known as the other two, but of which almost nobody knows their function. Many exist, but nothing concrete or proven. However, the citizens of Alarez trust them, despite their lack of information about them.

There are many groups within the walls of Alarez. This huge capital city is full of so many surprises and mysteries that it would take many lifetimes to learn everything! A city with buildings of different styles, clean air and beautiful views, a city from which the stars in the sky were visible every time the moon rose into the sky, letting the sun rest for its hard day. Alarez was the safest place in the whole Spital continent and to contradict it was to be crazy.
