Letorua a semi big city in the nation of Uthiadal. A two hours drive, and about a thirty minute walk down some reasonably tall cliffs to The Ocean of Derraine. It's a nice enough place, the sea wind keeps the air clean. The cliffs keep the ocean from coming to close, in good weather and storm. The soil is fertile, and the ocean it's self is also fertile. One of the crown jewels of this city, with it rolling hills and sharp turns. Is it's university, Ralmiara University to be precise.
Said to have been founded right when the city it's self was, hundreds of years ago. It stands smack dab in the center of town, and sprawls over 4 miles of city blocks, one mile in each direction. The Eastern most quadrant only has a handful of buildings, it's mainly used for gardening and things of the like. The western most quadrant has a lake, and it's dedicated to aqua life and things of the like. The north and south quadrants hold more buildings then the east or west. They of course hold more of the classes. At the center of it all, is another crown jewel of the city.
It's church, The Church of The Order of Infinity. A very old religious order, which had just come back into favor that was truly very accepting. They preach for others to be kind to one another. To help when you could, but also to take care of oneself as well. Taking the old saying "treat others that way you wish to be treated," as a holy phrase. They didn't necessarily worship a god. So much as the spirit of kindness, which they gave no gender to. Nor a specific name either. They did a lot to help the city, from charity work to giving jobs when and where they could.
They also, in hard times even helped to defend it. They weren't just a religious order, they were also warriors in a sense. Along with being patrons of the arts, mainly music. Though they did have a lovely art collect, and sometimes showed off work of the art students from the college.
They still to this day taught lessons in the old ways of fighting. Sword verses Sword combat and other things of the like. Though typically those lessons are reserved for those joining the church. They occasionally taught lessons to those who were not. For a price of course, Armour, swords and things of the like aren't cheap. The church it's self is said to be almost as lovely as another famous cathedral.
Has gorgeous rose windows and acoustics anyone in the music profession would kill for. A lot of times music classes where even held in it hallowed walls. Not that clergy minded one bit, they often could be seen hovering in the balconies. Swaying soft to the music playing, and that music brought people in.
As not only was the church a church, along with being a school somewhat of it's self. It is was also a museum of sorts. Along with the one of the two local light houses, which kept the seas safe for the busy harbor that help keep the city alive. All in all, it's a pretty nice city, with old fashion and new fashion buildings mixing carefully but beautifully.
