Rudania

Rudania is a historic port city on the western coast of the fictional continent of Valoria. It is the capital of the Rudania Province and a major commercial center known for its fortified old town and bustling harbor.

The city centers on a natural harbor along the Rudani River, with surrounding hills and fertile plains. The climate is temperate, with mild winters and warm summers, influenced by maritime air.

Rudania traces its origins to early medieval trading posts and grew as a maritime hub under the Rudani dynasty. It became a provincial capital during the federation period and developed a diversified economy and urban culture in the early modern era.

The harbor remains the economic backbone, supporting shipping, fishing, and shipbuilding. A modest manufacturing sector and a growing service industry complement tourism centered on historic sites and coastal scenery. The city hosts Rudania University, established in the 18th century.

Notable landmarks include the Grand Loggia, Basilica of St. Mira, and the Old Docks Quarter. The annual Maritime Festival showcases seafaring heritage and local crafts, drawing visitors from across Valoria.

Rudania is governed by a city council led by a mayor and forms part of the Valorian Union’s Rudania Province. It is served by a seaport, regional rail, and an airport nearby.
