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.

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 [[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 crafters, artisans, and poets of The [[Virtuosi]], intrepid explorers of the wilderness to introspective explorers of the mind in the [[Discurean Outriders]].

Cyrene is guarded by the ever-watchful gazes of dashing troubadours, mountain archers, imperial guardsmen, ice mages, and runic knights.

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.

Further west is '''Centre Crossing''', marked with the '''Clock Tower''', a popular gathering spot for locals and visitors alike.  
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.  


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 are world renowned for their beauty and variety.
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.

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.

==Dining and Recreation==
==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 Motley''', known to locals as [[The Cyrenian Brewery]]. 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. [[Guilio]], a local drunk, might recommend something from the '''[[The Cyrenian Brewery]]''', at a patio of hand carved tiles. The brewery provides a selection of alcoholic beverages served by a handsome bartender, a lazy waitress, and a busy waiter. 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.
