Liotuvat is a coastal city and administrative center in the fictional country of Valara, located on the Liomari Bay at the mouth of the Liotuvat River. It is the capital of Liotuvat District and serves as a regional trade and governance hub.

Population is around 420,000. The city is multilingual, with Liotuvat and Veran as primary languages. Cultural venues include the Liotuvat Museum and an opera house, and the annual Liotuvat Festival is a focal event.

Governance: The city is governed by a mayor and municipal council within Valara's framework, following civil-law traditions and participating in provincial and national elections.

Transportation: Liotuvat Central Station provides regional and national rail, a ferry terminal links to nearby islands, a ring road and expressways connect the city to the region, and the urban transit network includes a tram system and bike lanes.
