Olrónalí is the main city of Súmra, the western county (jú) of Nórlastó, the southern quarter (stó) of the empire of Dalra. It's located upon the Namazús River to the south.
The city was capital of the Akalúrans before the rise of Dalra and was at the time among the largest settlements in the world, before being largely destroyed during the dalran conquest and later rebuilt in their style.

Demographics

Olrónalí's inhabitants are predominantly a mix of Dalrans, Þekkals and native akalúrans (most of whom have adopted dalran culture), along with smaller communities from all over the empire.

Defences

Olrónalí was once surrounded by impressive walls, towers and eight gates, each associated with a lunar phase, of which only a small portion has survived and has been left to crumble as the modern city is significantly smaller and has new fortifications.
The two gates still standing, namely the Gate of the Waning Crescent and Gate of the Full Moon, are now used by more conservative akalúrans as shrines to the fertility goddess Þagúrra and Fós, god of the Namazús River.

Architecture

Very few monuments and other major structures built by the akalúrans still stand in Olrónalí since the city was conquered by the dalrans, aside from a few important temples, the royal library and parts of the city-walls, though some of the newer buildings incorporate traditional akalúran elements to some extent, mostly in the form of colourful frescoes and intricate reliefs on walls. Aside from those, dalran architecture is the norm.
