Sentaz

Sentaz is a fictional city that appears as a setting in several fantasy works. In those narratives, it lies along the Serene River in the northern highlands of the continent of Velora, where hills meet a temperate climate. The city is depicted as a political and economic hub with a diverse population, typically described as housing around 90,000 residents.

Historically, Sentaz began as a market town founded by artisan guilds and grew through river trade. In many stories, it is governed by a city council led by a mayor, with authority divided among wards or districts. The constitutional framework is often shown as evolving to balance merchants, craftsmen, and commoners.

Geographically, Old Town sits on a hill above the Serene River, while the Riverfront and Forge District form its industrial heart. A landmark called the Citadel of Gears recurs in descriptions. The economy centers on textiles, metalworking, and trade, with later depictions expanding into services and light industry supported by a fictional rail and canal network.

Sentaz hosts institutions such as Sentaz University and a public library system. Cultural life features the Lantern Festival, guild fairs, and street performances reflecting the city’s artisan legacy.

In fiction, Sentaz is often portrayed as a neutral ground for diplomacy or as a sovereign city-state with its own legal system. Details—status, institutions, and geography—vary across authors, but the city commonly serves as a versatile backdrop for political intrigue and urban life.
