Coruin

Coruin is a fictional city and regional capital in the northern coastal realm of Valora. It sits at the delta of the River Nyra along a sheltered harbor, with surrounding flatlands, mixed forests, and a temperate maritime climate.

Founded in the medieval period as a trading post, Coruin grew through guild governance and river commerce, later becoming the administrative center of the province. Its economy diversified with timber, textiles, and services as industry expanded.

The city is governed by an elected council and a mayor. The council manages municipal services, zoning, and culture, while provincial authorities oversee defense, education, and larger infrastructure projects.

Coruin maintains a functioning harbor, regional rail links, and river ferry connections. Key sectors include port trade, light manufacturing, and professional services, with growing information technology support for regional firms.

Notable sites include the Granite Bridge, the Old Town Conservatory, and the University of Coruin. The annual Festival of Lights is a major cultural event; the historic quarter preserves urban heritage and public spaces.

The metropolitan population is about 110,000, with diverse communities and bilingual use of Common Tongue and the regional language. Education includes several primary schools, a university, and technical institutes.
