Monsvallis, also known as Baluka'i is the capital city of Pongi. It was founded in 1855 as the site of a new capital after the Battle of Rygerrof, and was founded by Trein Whitecomb, Mari Tyrone and the indegenous tribes of the Kauia and Twashare. They signed a memorandum declaring the city would be one that was welcoming and modern. It is known for its famous cottagecore mix of heritage buildings, excellent beaches and is home to many different paragliding spots.

Etymology

Monsvallis recieved its name by one of the founders, Mari. It means "Mountain Valley" in Latin. The original name, Baluka'i, had been swapped out in negotiations, which angered the Kauia tribe, which have declared that they have been calling the area "Baluka'i", for millenium and it was "very disappointing" that the original name was not reflected. Nonetheless, negiotations contiuned, with the Portuguese settlers promising to change the name back soon. However no action has been taken, but a refernedum will be hosted at the end of 2023.
