Cyrene

Cyrene, Heart of the Vashnars, was first established within the 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.

At the time of the refounding of Cyrene, Czanthria also founded the Runewardens Guild. Three other guilds have since joined them in making Cyrene their home. The humble monks of the Mojushai, the fiercely loyal magi of the Arcanists, and the artists and performers of the Bards.
