City map of Magnimar.

The city of Magnimar is the largest city in the Governance of Varisia though it is not the capital. It boasts a rambunctious attitude and open arms to travelers and adventurers alike. It is a clean and prosperous city situated on the end of a peninsula allowing it to stand as both an excellent mercantile port and naval shipyard. much of the Varisian Navy finds its berth at Magnimar.
The geography of the city creates three distinct sectors each divided into districts. The Upper Cliff, which contains three districts, is the home to the city's wealthy citizens, government, financial industry, several temples, and military infrastructure. The Lower Cliff is home to the city's middle class, industry, Merchants, and port. Lastly the Riverlands is home to the city's more rambunctious and activist crowd, they frequently see themselves as separate from the rest of the city.
Magnimar governs over the southwestern region of the Governance of Varisia though there are few significant settlements in the region aside from Wartle. The city does bankroll the ranger enclave which protects and maintains the central forest. The peninsula is home to large farms and plantations which produce more luxury goods than food. they grow tobacco, coffee, tea, and a little citrus with magical assistance. This industry and the exports of these luxuries have further elevated Magnimar's Economic position.
