'''Cyrene, Heart of the Vashnars''', was first established within the [[Vashnar Mountains#Southern Vashnars|Southern Vashnars]] before the time of [[Nicator]] and [[Seleucar]], but after the founding of [[Ashtan]] and [[Shallam]]. It was founded by refugees from the Ashtan-Shallam wars, seeking a place of peace. These early citizens kept the location of their sanctuary secret, to keep themselves free from the troubles of the outside world.

Cyrene was discovered by the outside world in the year 388 AF, when the blue dragon [[Ainghaeal]] terrorised the city and its remaining citizens called out to the world for help. Revelation Azon was the first to discover the path, and soon the dragon was slain by Janduin with the assistance of many brave adventurers. The last words Ainghaeal was reported to have said were, "There's nothing better than chomping a Senator."

This devastation made way for the Cyrene of today. Czanthria Zuiho_sho was called upon to become the first adventurer Imperiate of Cyrene, to lead the city into a new era. At this time Cyrene was refounded under the principles of respect and tolerance, while still revering peace and remembering the traditions of their predecessors.

Gamblers from around Sapience come to the Dancing Boar Inn to visit Merindia, the blackjack dealer and Tatalia, the roulette attendant and play their gold or lessons for luck. The '''Ram's Horn bar''' has more than food to offer. Shadya, the bellydancer will dance for you and more, for the right price. For the more refined Sapients, the '''Imperium''' houses a ballroom for formal occasions. Named for the spirit of the Forest of Light, in which the early settlers of Cyrene began building their home, the '''Theatre Prophasia''' is host to Raphella, the diva accompanied by Maestro Lucciano on the piano. The theatre may also be used by adventurers to stage their own productions.
