The capital of [[Loveria]] is home to about 50,000 souls. Officially it is run by a council of 'law keepers' but they are completely in the pocket of the merchant houses. The city is known for its many artists, bon vivants, and junkies, due to the permissive nature of the country.

Korint is well known for its yellow arches that can be found all over the city. These beautifully carved wooden arches are placed in the middle of many streets for purely decorative purposes. Once a year during a special festival all inhabitants paint the arch on their street and then have a feast in the shadow of it.

== Locations ==

===== Acronon =====
Home to a large cadre of civil servants who do their utmost to keep the country running. It is said of this old, imposing building that there is not one right angle to be found in it. Though officially (the representatives of) the merchants and remaining nobles are to assemble here regularly to govern the country, in reality, they hardly ever show up for these meetings. Most policy, if one can call it that, is set at lavish dinner parties.

===== Artists Alley =====
Don't let the name fool you; this warren of streets and alleyways in the old city is quite sizable and home to all kinds of old masters and hopeful apprentices. The painterly arts are the most favored here but other kinds of art can be found as well.

===== Myrodia Perfumes =====
Though the well to do in the big cities might not recognize the name, the reality is that if it's an exclusive and expensive perfume, chances are very, very high it comes from here. This bespoke perfumer has been on top of its game for centuries. 

===== Pagoda of Pages =====
The temple of [[Lirr]] is housed in what used to be the mansion of Lord Zorat. The priests here are hard at work trying to preserve all kinds of stories but the climate isn't helping.

===== Plateia Square =====
At the center of the old city you'll find a large, daily market bordered by all kinds of eateries and permanent shops selling anything from spices to bric-a-brac. In the middle of the square stands the statue of King Brosef, usually covered in all kinds of unidentifiable substances.

===== Poledouris Avenue =====
The main thoroughfare of the city, any business that considers itself of any worth has their shop or offices along this road. It is named for a mage from before the [[Collapse]], Vasilikos Poledouris, who reportedly slew the godling Thcer somewhere around these parts, in a fight that lasted days.

===== Sly Fox Odds and Ends =====
Buys and sells anything they can make money on.
