'''Bérasar''' is a major coastal city in northeastern [[Great Kirav]], the capital and largest city of the Kiravian state of [[Fariva]]. One of the oldest Coscivian settlements in [[Ixnay]], Bérasar is the economic, cultural, and transportation hub of the [[Great Kirav#Far Northeast|Far Northeastern region]], and has an almost thousand-year-old history shaped principally by its status as a major port of the [[Kilikas Seaway]]. Along with [[Valēka]], it was a leading Kiravian nexus of the intellectual, cultural, and technological movement known as the [[Kilikas Enlightenment|Northern]] or [[Kilikas Enlightenment]], and is regarded as the "most Levantine city" in Kiravia due to its strong historic and demographic ties to [[Fiannria]], [[Burgundie]], and [[Faneria]]. It is the northernmost major city in Kiravia and one of the most northerly in the world, at a slightly lower latitude than [[Dol Awraidd]] and trailing the northernmost national capital, [[Rolvssvik]].

Contemporary Bérasar stands at the forefront of many knowledge-intensive fields, such as higher education, medical research, high-tech manufacturing, naval architecture, and investment banking, while still maintaining the robust shipping, fishing, brewing, and papermaking sectors that have been active in the city for centuries. It has a longstanding rivalry with its southern neighbour Valēka that extends from economic competition for dominance in certain industries to cuisine, music, and, most importantly, sports.
