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.
