 ====== Dominion of Alvraan ======
-**Alvraan** is a [[takma:]] city, and accompanying city-state, in the middle [[avishraa:geography:sekhaa:river:Sahvarr]] Valley, in the midst of the [[geography:sekhaa:region:cerulean_tangle]]. Alvraan is a local power, though not regionally important, and its matriarchs command a certain amount of respect as self-designated heirs of the rulers of the [[geopolitical:empire:]].

 ===== Geography =====
 {{ :alvraan.png?250|Map of Alvraan and the surrounding region}}
-The city of Alvraan lies in the lower eastern reaches of the [[avishraa:geography:sekhaa:region:Nentir Highlands]] - at about 10°S, 3° W. The local terrain is relatively dramatic, shading from gorge-cut plateaus in the west, through to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tepui|tepuis]] and chaotic hills, opening onto flat river valleys in the east as it drops toward the main course of the Sahvarr. The climate is tropical and relatively moist, though on average somewhat drier than the western slopes of the Highlands; nonetheless there are plenty of streams and tributaries crossing the landscape, many of which swell up during the unpredictable rains near sunrise.

-The city is only a short distance south of the [[avishraa:geography:sekhaa:river:Shedir]], a river and tributary of the Sahvarr whose highest navigable point is located close by. Alvraan has therefore become a major junction for trading routes leading into and out of the Highlands, a fact that has granted it considerable prosperity, and its matriarchs have not been shy about using this economic clout - and the military power it affords them - to expand the area of their rule, which now extends over several hundred square kilometers, much of it along the Shedir. Alvraan is the only major city in the domain, but there are one or two smaller towns further downstream and a scattering of villages and estates throughout.

 The city itself is built around, and in, a tepui rising from the midst of the jungle. The warrens within the tepui are partly natural caves and partly artificial tunnels, and are the haunt of Alvraan's aristocracy and the seat of its government. Construction atop the tepui is forbidden, except for military installations; there are a number of watchtowers and battlements, and a set of barracks for the palace guard, but the rest of the tepui's surface functions essentially as a sort of private park or hunting preserve.
