Ilmarin

Ilmarin is the seat of power of the Empire State of Cathai, and the largest city in Cathai. It crosses the river Marin with its single bridge, the Marin Bridge.

The Ilmarin metropolitan area is generally considered to be the main part of Ilmarin. On the south side of the metropolitan area is Hollow Borough, a relatively wooded and dense part of town, with tall trees blocking nearly all sunlight from touching the ground. On the north side of the metropolitan area are the Boroughs of Tarsaith, Stathes, and Flùran.

Outside of the metropolitan area, but within the claims of Ilmarin are the towns of Faltrivars, led by Beckett Concord-Athairne, and Gaspen, led by Cassive Mockson.

Famous Locations
Most of Ilmarin's bars and taverns are located in the Hollow Borough, near the wall. This includes the world-famous Wild Things and Company and the cafe Medve. In Tarsaith, there are the fields of Ilmarin, the very first structures to ever have been built in Ilmarin, as well as the Government Building, which houses the National Committee of Cathai. Other notable locations include the Marin Bridge, often seen in postcards and pictures of Ilmarin. It is said that the Marin Bridge was placed there by the Folklings themselves, and such a rudimentary and unstable bridge could not have supported its own weight for so long.

Festivals
Ilmarin hosts the majority of Folkling Mysticist festivals throughout the year, including Blath Day, the Sun Parade, and many more. It also hosted the 1st Cartographers' Summit of Akonanda.
