View source for Astyrian Capital of Culture

The '''Astyrian Capital of Culture''' is a city chosen for a three month period to highlight its diverse or otherwise unique culture. The concept was first suggested by [[Duder Molatiri]], the [[Cadenza]]n [[Kerep]] of Canve, at the [[E10 Council of Nations]] as a means of fostering closer regional ties. In recognition of the work undertaken by Molatiri and the Cadenzan government to push for the concept's realisation, the city of [[Cadenza (city)|Cadenza]] was named the first, honorary Capital of Culture, for the period of summer 2014.

The designation of a Capital of Culture is a prestigious award for a city, much valued for the potential tourism it can attract. The choice is often made to overlap with regional celebrations, as when in 2014 Cadenza was named Capital of Culture to coincide with its 25th annual Festival of Culture.
