Fife

The first great city in the Land of Centra. King Fife's first great victory was founding the city and sustaining it. It stood where the Dwarven kingdoms now reside and stretched beyond the realms of imagination. at its height, Fife had nearly 25 000 citizens. "And there stood the Valley of 100 towers, The City of the many and the home of all civilization. The grand city of Fife." The City was a melting pot of cultures and species. It was the first great gathering space of peoples. Many legends have sprung up around its creation and fall, most notable of which is that the city came to Fife I whilst in a dream and its inhabitants pleaded with him to bring the world to life. His vision finally came into fruition after he united his people under one tribe and declared it a Kingdom with him at their head. Fife has since faded into obscurity and the exact spot where it stood is contested. Some claim that is stood as far north as the Northern steppe and some claim it was in the great lowlands to the southeast. Most of the more scholarly claims have resulted from studying trading texts from Sharih. It is said that Fife stood in the very center of the continent and when traders went to the city, they were filled with wonder and often never returned to their own people. It was this legendary status that caused the city to grow so steadily. In the later years of the empire, as the bloodlust of the Kings became unmanageable, the Vormar finally broke their allegiance with the Centrans and invaded the already collapsing state. They razed most of Centra's great cities to the dust and pledged the protection of the people of the Midderlands from the warlords of the north where the Centran's finally fled.
