'''Tarrin''' is a city in southern [[Goldvale]]. It sits across the Killes river from the province of [[Killean]]. It is one of the fastest growing cities in [[Urcea]]. | |||
Tarrin is well known as being the heart of [[Urcea]]n [[Music_in_Urcea#Country_music|country music]]. In the [[1920]]s and [[1930]]s, the city transformed from a small industrial mill town to the heart of Urcea's country music industry. The city sat at a convenient junction between the [[Ionian Plateau]], rural Urcean farmland, [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]], and various riverine and railroad lines of transportation, making it the ideal location for the so-called "[[Music_in_Urcea#Restoration|songhunters]]" to establish a base of operations. Initially, the growing city only held satellite offices and studios of larger Urceopolis-based companies, but in time more ambitious operators in the country music genre began to estabish firms directly in Tarrin. By the [[1940]]s, it was generally known that anyone seeking to be a success in the country music industry had to relocate to Tarrin, causing thousands since to abandon their lives and move to the city to pursue their musical dreams. Tarrin became closely associated with a specific type of refined sound by the end of the [[1950]]s and [[1960]]s, causing some artists to attempt to start their careers in "revolt" against the Tarrin sound of that period; this gave rise to increased popularity of [[Arcerion|Arco]] and other kinds of international country music in Urcea during this period. Tarrin losing its monopoly on country music hit the city hard, leading to significant decline by the [[1980]]s. The city revitalized by the end of the [[1990]]s, becoming a major world tourist destination. The music industry gave Tarrin its nickname - the "thunder city" - due to the loud and boisterous music associated with the place. Many major music labels are located in and around Tarrin, and the city has become a major destination for musicians worldwide, even those outside the country genre. | Tarrin is well known as being the heart of [[Urcea]]n [[Music_in_Urcea#Country_music|country music]].
