Syhazara is the capital and second-largest city in Peoratia. It is near the nation's geographic center in a region of rolling hills, with a series of valleys and ridges joined by steep slopes. The city has been Peoratia's economic, cultural, and transport hub since it became the capital following independence from Albarinean rule in 1941, although Byramir has overtaken it in many regards as the nation's largest and most influential city.
