+{{ :realms:sarpentis:sarpentis_city.png?400|}}Nestled along the banks of the Karanis River, Sarpentis is a city steeped in history and tradition. Once the administrative capital of one province of the mighty Empire of Aranor, Sarpentis has weathered the storms of time and emerged as a vibrant and resilient metropolis.
 The city's layout reflects its past.  A citadel, now transformed into a royal palace, dominates the northwest corner, overlooking a network of bustling docks. The Karanis River winds through the city, dividing it into distinct districts. The affluent Fenway District perches on a hill, offering sweeping views of the cityscape. The more humble Fish District, home to fishermen and their families, lies outside the east wall.
 Sarpentis' economy is primarily driven by fishing, trade, and agriculture. The city's strategic location on the river provides access to vital trade routes, while its fertile lands support a thriving agricultural sector. Despite its modest wealth compared to its imperial past, Sarpentis remains a significant cultural and economic center in the Realms.
+Sarpentis might not be the largest city in its Kingdom, but it is by far and away the most cosmopolitan.  Diplomatic missions from many other kingdoms have their embassies in Sarpentis, and as such, very few of its residents bat an eye at people with even the most alien of ancestries.  Because of this, many of the Cambion found within the Kingdom flock to the city, as their treatment therein is far better than it is anywhere else in the Kingdom.
 While the city has faced numerous challenges over the centuries, it has managed to maintain its identity and its role as a beacon of stability in a region plagued by conflict. Sarpentis' future is uncertain, but its rich history and resilient spirit suggest that it will continue to thrive for generations to come.
