'''Béyasar''' 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]], Béyasar 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 [[Kuhlfros]], [[Burgundie]], and [[Kistan]]. | '''Béyasar''' is a major coastal city in northeastern [[Great Kirav]], the capital and largest city of the Kiravian state of [[Fariva]].

Contemporary Béyasar 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. | |||

Béyasar has a rich culture that is reflective of its geographic foundations and the cultural traditions set in place by its earliest settlers, as well as by centuries of dynamic urban evolution, migration, and international contact. It has strong commercial and demographic ties to Levantia, and is regarded as the most Levantine-influenced and Western-oriented Kiravian city. | |||

Béyasar has been shaped by multiple waves of immigration from different parts of the Coscivian world, the wider Far Northeast, the Eastern Highlands, and [[Levantia]]. While less monumentally diverse than Valēka, [[Escarda]], and [[Saar Silverda]] with their hundreds and hundreds of ethnic communities, Béyasar manifests a unique and characteristic blend of cultural influences from the various ethnic groups that have come to call it home. | Béyasar has been shaped by multiple waves of immigration from different parts of the Coscivian world, the wider Far Northeast, the Eastern Highlands, and [[Levantia]].
