Æonara: Difference between revisions

Æonarans culturally classify the island's various spatially distinct physical settlements into several classes based on which wave of development they originated during and other characteristics. These include

'''Old Towns''' (Æonaran: ''Berisartha'') and '''Old Villages''' (''Beridasa'') - Any settlement built before the [[Sunderance]], including the historic downtowns of cities such as [[Cities of Kiravia#Prevarda|Prevarda]] and [[Sirana]] that were built up mostly during and after the Sunderance. Rural old-towns and old-villages are inhabited predominantly by old-stock Æonaran Coscivians, Umcaran Coscivians, and Empire Loyalists, and occupy an important place in the island's culture as representative of the Æonaran heartland an living Æonaran heritage. Old-towns and -villages have more irregular layouts and architectural variation as a product of centuries of organic growth. Many old-towns, especially in city centres, are anchored by historic buildings formally listed for preservation.
