Cirian
Cirian is the capital city of the country of Estrye. Cirian sits at the conjunction of two rivers, the West Cirian and North Uromein. In the centre of the capital sits the Castle, once the political and social centre of the country the Castle has closed itself off in recent years. News and staff still enter and exit the Castle regularly but access to the Prince is nonexistent, to protect him from those who may wish to do him harm and finish their task of wiping out the royal family.
Cirian was the first city people began to settle in once they returned to Estrye after the fall out of the God of Magic's entrance into the world wiped out all life within the area, being one of the closest points they could get to the concentration of magic for over 100 years. By the time people could move closer they had already centred themselves from this point and simply chose to continue to do so as they expanded in all directions. North being the last direction they went as magic finally faded to less devastating levels.
The Castle is the oldest standing building in Cirian, most others being destroyed and rebuilt as monsters and dragons ravaged the land until dragons were wiped out and monsters driven from their shores.
Most people who settle in the capital are relatively well off, though none of the nobility stays for more than the Summer. Those that live in the lower town are related to someone who works in the Castle but is not a close enough relation to receive housing.
In the past decade anyone coming to the capital for what remains of the Feast of Commons or even those who live there always try and catch a peak for signs of the Prince whenever their travels bring them near the Castle. No one can be certain if they're successful.
