Sartinium

Sartinium sits on the border of the Spolenia region and the Civalesa region. The oldest city on the peninsula, Sartinium has been rebuilt several times, and is more of a village today compared to the sprawling metropolises of Civalla, Spareen, and Briessa.

History
The first settlement of the Kingdom of Valaa, it remained the capital of the monarchy until the formation of the Valinium Empire when it was shifted to Briessa (then the city of Lom.) Originally called Sherkilliageos for the High King Sherkillios, the name of Sartinium was bestowed upon the city by the Imperial House of Mazarda.

Brought to utter ruin several times during the Southern Wars of Sheril II, it was destroyed once more during the War of Four before the formation of the Republic of Briece. Since then, it has been rebuilt in short bursts giving the city a distinct and almost hodgepodge sort of aesthetic.

Culture
Since Sartinium is the most ancient of all the cities, the people who reside in both the Civalesa and the Spolenia region are still heavily influenced the old Kingdom of Valaa. Simple, brutal, and considered by some to be backwards and stuck in the past.

Many university students from Briessa explore Sartinium, searching for artifacts and other things of that sort of nature. Furthermore, the people of Sartinium are fiercely religious, and follow a very strict form of Elarian not found elsewhere in Briece.

Tornatore Airships
Owned by House Tornatore, they have been manufacturing airships since its invention, making the house filthy rich in the process. Tornatore Airships manufactures and ships from the Sky Village, and keeps the majority of Sartinium employed.

Kilageos Keep
An ancient castle from the time of the Kingdom of Valaa, Kilageos Keep is slightly outside of city limits but is a popular destination for tourists, archaeologists, and students alike. The Keep has certainly stood the test of time, but most suspiciously, for the square mile surrounding the Keep, nothing grows or can stay alive.

The Sky Village
The highest point of Sartinium, and more or less unofficially owned by House Tornatore, the Sky Village is the docks for the airships of Briece. While not used for public transportation, the Sky Village supports the majority of Sartinium's economy and most, if not all, Sartini's work in the Sky Village. The airships are manufactured here, and shipped out from there to either Civalla for international travel, or to Spareen for the Salvator's Air Force.

Valaal Circle
The city center. Arranged on a circle path, the city center was built on the mound of the forgotten city of Sherkillageos. Thus, it is higher than most of the surrounding city. At the Valaal Circle, one could shop for goods, frequent a tavern, or challenge the champion bareknuckle boxer of Sartinium/
