Argw

Argw is a city in Valoria, located on the Verdant Coast along the Lirene River delta. It has a coastal harbor, a highland old town, and a modern business district. The surrounding region is known for orchard agriculture and timber. The population is about 72,000.

The name Argw likely derives from the Valorian word arg meaning "watch" or "edge," combined with wan, possibly denoting a lookout point. Alternatively, local tradition attributes it to a legendary guard named Arg.

The city grew as a trading post in the early medieval period, serving as a gateway between inland markets and seaborne commerce. It was part of the Valorian kingdom, endured several fires and reconstructions, and developed a craft economy in the Renaissance era. In the 19th century, rail connections spurred industrial growth; post-war urban renewal shaped the present.

Argw's economy centers on logistics, services, and light manufacturing, with a busy port handling regional freight. The historic center attracts tourists with preserved facades, a riverside promenade, and the Cathedral of Saint Lora. Annual festivals celebrate maritime heritage, craftwork, and local cuisine.

Argw operates under a mayor-council system within Valoria. The city is served by a regional rail line, a port, and an international airport nearby. Public institutions include a university campus, regional hospital, and multiple cultural centers.
