Valyntir City

Valyntir City is the capital city of the Valyntir Empire. Known for its remarkable stone architecture, Valyntir is home to the throne of the Emperor, the Senate, and is the holy centre of the Church of Hope. Ester Palace, the Senate chamber, and the St. Gregor Basilica are all hallmarks of the enormous city housing over 1.2 million people from across the Empire. The city is also the capital of the Ester province, the duchy which Lord Valyn Ashcroft assumed lordship over during the Great Civil War after Lord Gywin Ester was defeated at the Battle of Busk. Valyn Ashcroft would go on to be a key figure in the Great Civil War and was crowned as the first Emperor. The city (formerly called Busk), was renamed Valyntir in honour of the new Emperor and soon became the official name of the Empire as a whole.
