Celeren
"They built my beautiful Celeren in the days of the Shogunate, and the styles of that age echo in the smooth pavestones of her streets and the sweeping arcs of her tiled roofs. I would like to think that one of my ancestors, some sadly forgotten earth aspect, had a hand in her design, but my family were little better than nomads then, living on the fringes of the world; not strong, like we are now.
"It was that strength that let us change Celeren. We were the first in after the armies from Lookshy drove back the Realm, and we stripped the city back to its roots; we buried the satrap's mansion beneath a mound of dirt and set an orchard growing on top, doubled the size of the prized decorative ponds to replace the koi with delicious perch and hung everywhere our bright orange and yellow banners.
"The Manse alone we couldn't touch.
