Yuram, officially the Special Capital Region of Yuram, is the capital and largest city of Jashnagar. Situated on the northern coast of Samratan, it is the center of urban development, economics, and culture for all of Northern Jashnagar. Hosting a population of 4,567,285, Yuram's growth, economic opportunities, and higher standard of living have attracted migrants from across the Jashnagari Archipelago, making it a melting pot of Jashnagari culture.
Established in the 5th century, as Rana Temple by Maist monks, the settlement grew up as a port around the temple. In the 7th century, the Palipar Maharan moved its capital from neighboring Jasharan to Yuram, transforming it from a small port town into a thriving city. After the fall of the Palipar Maharan, a new polity if the form of the Yuram Maharan sprung from the city. In the 10th century, Rajan Yaragupta funded the building of a new temple upon the foundation of Rana temple as patronage to the monks. During the War of Flames the Bas'kan of Yuram temple played a crucial leadership role for Maist forces, marking the end of the dominance of Kauloon Temple over the faith. The following centuries saw the city act as a de-facto capital for Maism, with it wielding considerable influence across the archipelago. In 1728 after the unification of Jashnagar, King Ilo'gnara established the city as his capital due to its historical influence. The city underwent large modernization projects following the Olympic War, primarily initiated by the government of Ferdinand Juteau. As a result, Yuram became known as "J-Town" following the war, and Juteau's junta became known as the "Yuram Five"
