Notes

edit
  • Karquel–Hluirilben–Asilaaq: Asilaaq is sometimes excluded from this area.[2] Its population would be 121,133,557 without Asilaaq, placing the metro area in third, behind the Yeungming–Chingdau–Donmun–Yukman area.
  • Chang–Zezhouian: Despite their geographical distance, these cities are typically grouped together because of historical commonalities stemming from the shared river valley.
  • Dyonzithlmala–Apdulsch: Rarely, Ynindyndenil is included in this area.[3] However, because of the border between D’elkyn and the Empire of Rharmasadra, these two metro areas are typically split.

Overview

edit

Allesoscto–Kuoryade–Tedu–Tekeruata

edit

The “Quad Crown” is the largest metropolian area in the world. It is centered around the Pawapangi lake. Each city has a unique culture — Pardum, Kotomo, Chue, and Te Tüporaikatu respectively — making it a multi-ethnic melting pot.

It is also the largest shipping area in the world.[4] Ships traverse the lake, typically exiting through the Corames river at Allesoscto. They continue through Ngā Okokorakarare-Tea. Incidentally, Ngā Okokorakarare-Tea is sometimes considered to be part of the metropolitan area because of its proximity and importance in shipping routes.[5] Finally, traders exit to the western sea.

“When I got there, it was incredible. I had never seen urbanization on such an impressive scale.” – Gamat-Ho Ohadan, famous Yekaladenian explorer, in his biography “Tzforat Tu Bexibos” (exploring the world).[6]

Karquel–Hluirilben–Asilaaq

edit

The Karquel–Hluirilben–Asilaaq metropolitan area is the largest urban area in D’elkyn. It also includes the cities of Asheier, Uthes, Chutag Uur, and Shalanzad. It is split between the culture of Uiyranzan in the north, and Delenbu Hluirilben and south. Additionally, Asilaaq is Mygmiutal.

Chutag Uur is often considered the most important shipping city, not because of its size, but because of its centralized ___location.[7]

Yeungming–Chingdau–Donmun–Yukman

edit

They are four great cities strung along the fertile delta in a rainforest. It is the beating heart of the Tsing cultural world. Yeungming serves as the intellectual and literary capital, as well as the capital of Hoichue; Donmun thrives as a deepwater trade nexus; Chingdau anchors the region’s manufacturing might; and Yukman preserves the ceremonial traditions of Hoichue’s oldest noble houses.[8] The delta’s dense transportation system — both public and industrial — makes it both an agricultural powerhouse and one of the most strategically valuable shipping zones in the southern hemisphere.[9] Aside from Facheong, it is the only population dense region in all of Hoichue, enhancing its importance.

Niaosaishi

edit

One of the most densely populated cities on the planet, Niaosaishi rises in vertical layers: ancient Shiriru palaces on the ground, modern towers above, and gardens suspended between. It is often considered one of the wonders of the world for its beauty.[10] Its streets bustle with traders, artisans, and merchants. As the capital of the Commonwealth of Dau, it is also politically important. Furthermore, it is one of the cities with the largest city proper in the entire world, only beat by Sschivalz and Deki, which narrowly edge it out by 300,000 and 1,000,000 respectively.

Drethordor

edit

This area is renowned for its steelwork and master smiths.[11] It also includes the cities of Ugaust and Yingzhou. Although parts of the area were historically more Quzhou — like Yingzhou, which still attempts to cling to its Quzhou roots — it has mostly transitioned into Uiyranzan-ism.

Qingzhou

edit

A historic Quzhou imperial capital surrounded by concentric canals. Qingzhou blends the ancient — jade-roofed palaces, ritual gardens — with an aggressively modern skyline of glass and steel. The area is also comprised of Yiqian, Dading, Guang, and Lianzhou.

Hveroynes–Pakio

edit

The Hveroynes old town is famed for its timber guildhalls, while Pakio operates one of the busiest cold-water shipping ports in the world. Both are extremely important cities geopolitically as well as internally.

Albarah

edit

Its high density comes from stacked stone dwellings and colossal terraced temples.[12] It is by far the largest and most important city in the vicinity. It is a center for salt trade and religious pilgrimage. It overlooks turquoise bays, where terraced temples and stacked stone dwellings rise one atop another. Famous for its salt caravans and as a holy destination for pilgrims crossing the desert, Albarah is also a center for maritime pearl trade and coastal agriculture.

Shatosothargo–Brazzhaq

edit

Paired oasis metropolises straddling the border between Vojha and Rharmasadra. They are part of the small yet dense Eh’kelatha part of Vojha. Between them runs a lifeline of aqueducts and shade-lined roads, making the pair indispensable to desert commerce.

Mon Di

edit

Mainone Vicaluma’s riverine masterpiece, its mosaic-covered bridges and serene canals doubling as astronomical sightlines for the city’s famed observatories. Mon Di’s ceramic workshops and manuscript houses enjoy global renown, making it both an artistic and intellectual capital.

Iamädämu

Chang–Zezhouian

edit
