Phyria

 Phyria  was the capital city of the Kingdom of Corrapaise and was abandoned during the Migration. It was located in the northern Sundered Steppe and in present day is the site of the city's ruins. It was destroyed by Wistergradt forces following the city's abandonment. Founded in the Summer of Year 210 by Phyharan Arceneaux, Phyria immediately became the capital of the Kingdom of Corrapaise and was the kingdom's largest city.

Phyria saw rapid population growth throughout its history, most of which the result of the Assimilation of the Steppe. Its population grew from less than one hundred people to over ten thousand in about fifty years, and during the reign of Corra Arceneaux I, the population grew again to fifty-thousand. As a result of the aggressive action during the Assimilation, Phyria experienced frequent unrest brought on my its forced citizenry which led to the assassination of Corra I.

Following the rule of Corra I, Phyria and the rest of the Kingdom experienced relative peace and growth, known historically as the Prosperous Era. During this time, Phyria would be the site of a large cultural shift away from fear and doctrine worship and towards patriotism to the Kingdom, which spread to the rest of the nation. This era saw the founding of the University of Corrapaise, advances in art and science, and the general increase in Phyria's standard of living.

As the Corrapaise-Wistergradt war reached the Migration, nearly all of Phyria's people had abandoned the city. Phyria would be reduced to ruins by Wistergradt and those who stayed behind from the Migration were killed.

In present day, Phyria's ruins are used as camps and hideouts for banditry in the Sundered Steppe.
