Canve (pronounced /ˈkænveɪ/) is a town in the northeast of Cadenza. It is the capital of the earldom of Molatiri and, with a population of 41,000, is the fifth largest settlement in the country.
The town is divided into two main districts by the Strait of Edarak, which is approximately 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) across at its narrowest. The larger, South Canve, lies around Lasula Bay, while North Canve is built on the island of Edarak, on the south side of the Oretimur ("Purple Hill") ridge.
The local economy, historically centred around fishing, has in recent years come to focus on the sea as a tourist attraction. Canve boasts the island's second largest marina, after the capital's, and a ferry port which links the town to western Kur'zhet. It lies at the junction of three of Cadenza's motorways.
History
Canve was looted in 1287 by Cadenzan and Kur'zheti privateer fleets. This resulted in the Treaty of Canve, by which the two nations agreed to end their use of privateers.
