|
| '''Cyrene, Oceanus' Gate''', was first established within the [[Vashnar Mountains|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 288 AF when the blue [[:Category:Lesser Dragons|dragon]] [[Ainghaeal]] terrorised the city, and Cyrene's remaining citizens had called out to the world for help. Revelation Azon was the first to discover the path to the city, 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."
| | Radical and fearless, members of the '''Krymenian Academy''' delve into the unknown to uncover the secrets of the [[multiverse]]. By allowing imagination unfettered within the embrace of studious observation and experimentation, they blur the conventions of rationality, striving to overcome mortalkind's greatest adversary: the mind. By mastering all things metaphysical, they stand with the [[Somatikos]] to fortify the city of [[Hashan]], their home, against supernatural threats. Not limited by this goal, however, they endeavour to command those same forces and harness them in service to the Court of Shadows, propelling their peers boldly into the future. |
|
| |
|
| This devastation made way for the Cyrene of today. Czanthria Zuiho_sho, a former [[Paladin]] and Vizier of [[Shallam]], 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.
| | =Founding= |
| | The Krymenian Academy was founded on the 20th of Daedalan, 689AF in the wake of the [[Sundering of the Crown]]. Motivated by equal parts desperation and opportunity, the Regency gathered the brightest minds of Hashan together in order to establish two new Houses with the intent to not only understand the power that lurked below Hashan but master it. One of these Houses was the Krymenian Academy, founded by Aoghinius Jinx, Ginnovianna Nyxillum, Mannimar de Valois, and Vayne de Valois, in order to discern the secrets of the mysterious Wellspring and ultimately gain dominion over them for the benefit of the newly formed Court of Shadows. |
|
| |
|
| At the time of the refounding of Cyrene, Czanthria also founded the [[Wardens of the Cerulean Spire|Runewardens]] [[guild]]. Three other guilds eventually joined it in making Cyrene their home: the humble monks of the [[Mojushai]], the fiercely loyal magi of the [[Arcane Kindred|Arcanists]], and the artists and performers of the [[Ty Beirdd|Bards]]. Within time, all four guilds underwent conversions into [[:Category:Houses|Houses]]. After the Renaissance, three new Houses were formed: the defenders and combat trainers of Cyrene of The [[Vashnarian Shield]], the talented artisans of The [[Virtuosi]], intrepid explorers of the wilderness to introspective explorers of the mind in the [[Discurean Outriders]].

| ==Landmarks==
| |
| Entering the city through the carved tunnel, adventurers are greeted by the piked head of [[D'mass]] the Destroyer, a reminder that Cyrenians are a force with which to be reckoned.
| |
| | |
| West of the entrance gates is the newly built [[Resistance Bridge]] commemorating the formation of the Cyrenian Resistance and its efforts to retake the Tsol'teth-occupied city during the [[Tsol'teth#Third Black Wave|Third Black Wave]] from Sarapin 799 to Scarlatan 800 AF.
| |
| | |
| Going down from the '''Resistance Bridge''', one can travel the length of the [[Shuun'eludiela]] running southward, revealed at the retaking of Cyrene.
| |
| | |
| Further west from the bridge is '''Centre Crossing''', noted with the rise of its iconic '''Cyrene Clocktower''', a marvel of engineering and timekeeping which marks the changes of [[day]] throughout the city. The original clocktower was destroyed in the retaking of Cyrene from its Tsol'teth occupiers and restored a decade later.
| |
| | |
| At the far end of '''Centre Street's''' vibrant shopping district sits the '''Imperium''', an imposing building of classic design and the seat of Cyrene's government. The gardens of the Imperium, home to a group of [[fireflies]], are world renowned for their beauty and variety.
| |
| | |
| In the west of the city is the '''Lyceum''' with the world's largest (by tome count) library, the [[Prosperian Athenaeum]]. Six themed collections aid in finding the correct book. The official librarian [[Zophia]] is an adept guide to the library's holdings.
| |
| | |
| To the south, is the '''Cyrenian Pantheon'''. The Pantheon has room and likeness for each God and Goddess, current and departed. From the Pantheon, it is a quick jaunt east to the entrance to the subdivisions, [[Terraces at Lake Muurn]] and the Dockside shopping district.
| |
| | |
| To the west of the '''Cyrenian Pantheon''' is the city's graveyard, expanded to accommodate the fallen of the Third Black Wave.

| ==Facilities==
| |
| The '''News''' can be accessed from Merrilon approaching Centre Street. To the east and west from the News are the '''Cyrene Savings [[Bank]]''' and the '''Post Office of Cyrene''', respectively. [[Dalphon]], the clockworker both repairs clocks and copies keys in his shop, '''Dalphon's Fine Clocks and Keys''', just around the corner from the News. The arena, named [[Ainghaeal's Nest]], is in the southern part of town near the marina. The '''baths''' are just off Merrilon Avenue, across the way from the '''Imperium''' which houses the government offices and the [[The Imperial Library|Imperial Library]], both office and library are off limits for non-citizens. Most recently, a stable has been added to the city where [[Altaca]], who used to be the city's butcher, cares for the citizens' beloved [[mounts]] with the help of the former [[Tsol'aa]] stablemistress, [[Viol'aa]]. The '''Lyceum''', located in the northwest section of the city, houses the [[Prosperian Athenaeum]], as well as the denizens [[Indalecio]], the city tutor, and [[Ophilia]], a botanist who sells a few [[flowers|floral]] arrangements. Finally, those wishing to sell rat corpses can find [[Jorj]] in the courthouse. The subdivision, [[Terraces at Lake Muurn]], boasts quaint garden lots as well as dramatic beach-front plots suitable for building.
| |
| | |
| ==Shopping==
| |
| Cyrene has two main shopping districts. The first extends east to west along '''Centre Street''', which includes '''Artisan Plaza''' and its famed fountain. Frederica runs Rurin's shops and they are located around the Plaza, as well as the Commodities shop and many adventurer-run stores. [[Martina]]'s sweet shop is a favourite by locals and visitors alike. '''Ruminic street''' running south from Centre Crossing has a handful of shops along the way to the southern shopping district. '''[[Blu's Den of Delights]]''', Cyrene's own gift shop, sells items unique to Cyrene. The southern shopping district surrounds the subdivision, near Cyrene's arena while just beyond one will find an archery supply shop managed by [[Maltero]], the fletcher. Cyrene's [[shops]] provide a full range of wares sold by [[shopkeeping|shopkeepers]] from all parts of Sapience. For the convenience of shoppers, there is a "Merchant's Directory" at East of a Fountain in Artisan Plaza.
| |
| | |
| ==Dining and Recreation==
| |
| There are a variety of eateries to be found in Cyrene. South of the Artisan Plaza, [[Amadeo]], the waiter, has tasty and affordable wares to sell at a '''[[roadside cafe]]'''. [[Rodwin]], a young travelling food seller, who patrols the street from west of the Fountain to near the baths, sells his special ice lollies along with hearty fare once offered in '''[[The Cyrenian Brewery]]'''. The brewery itself provides a selection of alcoholic beverages served by a handsome bartender, a lazy waitress, and a busy waiter. The dining room of the '''[[Dancing Boar Inn]]''' has a selection of food and beverages, sold and served by [[Dianthe]], the serving girl. North of Cyrene's gift shop, '''[[Blu's Den of Delights]]''', [[Melodia]], a [[siren]] [[kawhe]] server, sets up her '''kawhe kiosk''', selling light refreshments. In the rowdier part of town, Sir [[Lance]], a fun-loving [[satyr]] bartender, sells an array of beverages and appetisers inside the '''[[Ram's Horn Bar]]'''.
| |
| | |
| Gamblers from around Sapience come to the Dancing Boar Inn to visit [[Merindia]], the blackjack dealer, and [[Tatalia]], the roulette attendant, to 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, and some friends of a boy called [[Otis]], the gardens behind the '''Imperium''' provide a nice setting for a romantic picnic. The Imperium itself houses a ballroom for formal occasions and is ready to use at all times thanks to [[Lucia]], the housekeeper. Named for the spirit of the Forest of Light, in which the early settlers of Cyrene began building their home, the '''Theatre Prophasia''' was once host to the infamous [[Raphella]], the diva. Now deceased, it is only her colleagues Maestro [[Lucciano]] and the stage director [[Emelio]] that remain within the grand theatre. The theatre may also be used by adventurers to stage their own productions. Visitors and citizens alike may be visited by [[Baltas]], a fiery aileushan, a former loyal who was gifted to Cyrene by a Celani. Another loyal appeared following the reclamation of Cyrene, an oscillating lake wyrm at the edge of Muurn Lake in the city.
