Loïsante

As a child, I was told stories of a glistening jewel beckoning to the waves, nestled among endless verdant fields. Of a great citadel of peace standing where a great river met the sea, where all the knowledge in the world was packed into its very foundations. I thought it was a myth... or at the very least over-embellished in its descriptions. But believe my words, when I saw that shining beacon jutting from the hilly coastline like a cluster of crystals for the first time, my doubts evaporated immediately. In all of my travels, never again have I been left with the feeling that it was the stories that were lacking.- Polirro Sialto, Volarri Sociologist and Historian, "A Continent of Wonders"

Annoyingly stubborn, hotheaded, chaotic, unruly, stalwart. These are but a few of the rather colorful terms that have been used to describe the "city of a hundred names", yet none of them fully encapsulate the true spirit of this timeless jewel.

Loïsante is nonethless what some may consider to be somewhat of an 'anomaly' in that it doesn't belong to any member Republic or Commune of The Communal Republics of Lavenna, refusing any traditional geopolitical associations and instead referring to themselves simply as "the city". In practice, however, Loisante governs itself more or less as a voluntary association of the communes and neighborhoods that comprise it. This has made it the gold standard in the eyes of The Liberalists, of whom actually drew much of their original inspiration from the city. This has, naturally, made the city a liberalist stronghold.

Communes of Loïsante

There are three main communes in Loïsante:

Marazur

The coastal commune of the city, clinging to the steep, rocky slopes of la phare. Tracing its origins back to the orginal trading port established by the Volarra League, it retains its mercantile spirit even today in the communal economy, being home to a vibrant array of communal markets, plazas, parks and garden spaces. It is also home to the majority of the city administration, as well as communal ministries, regional communal services, and transportation infrastructure. Two of the city's three main train stations connected to the The Lavennic High Speed Rail Network are located in the district: Gare de Lavande (left) and Gare de Pierre (right). Lastly, Marazur is highly multicultural, being home to the city's largest Aldanti population, though the Fleurois still account for a slight majority of inhabitants.
