Aziora City. Compared to Hayslem or Questrios it was barely a city, but prior to Valentine Inc setting up shop it was little more than a town. Aziora started as a midway, a rest stop for travelers between the two cities who couldn't afford easier transportation, and the occasional vacationer looking to get away from the city.

When Valentine Inc arrived it took little time for the small stop over to grow, and the company steadily increased their presence as the area grew. Eventually they built their headquarters in Aziora, a building compromised of an old world stone work base building beneath a simple glass and steel tower that stretched toward the sky. This building dominates the skyline, a pillar standing between the two older cities on the continent. The city sprawls out from this central point, various corporate buildings mixed with other private and government buildings, housing developments and hotels, restaurants and recreational areas.

The city is technically independent of Valentine Inc. and under the jurisdiction of the government seated in Hayslem, but in reality the company has a much greater involvement in the day to day running of the city by virtue of owning much of the infrastructure and business in the city. Aziora and Valentine Inc have become symbiotic.
