Cities: Sparsia [Calismus]

Sparsia

The city of Sparsia is older than Calismus itself and revered throughout the world, particularly for its famous academy. Its beautiful classical design and rows of manors and palaces have made it virtually the aristocratic capital of the entire world, as it contains a populace of only the highest social standing and most elevated sophistication. Sparsia draws gentry from the world over, and most would do everything short of give their own life just for an opportunity to live there.

The famed Sparsian Academy glimmers in the center of the city, the massive edifice a symbol of the perfection for which Sparsia strives. The Academy has yet to turn out a single poor quality student and is recognized for turning out the best and being able to whip into shape any pathetic student, as long as they have talent. Sparsia routinely seeks out fresh and gifted children and scholars for its student body and faculty today, and through reputation has given Sparsia a relatively large amount of sway in Calismian politics.
