During the medieval and renaissance periods, Cálfeld remained an important political center in the new Urcean Kingdom, though it was overshadowed for a time by Ardricampus during the [[Saint's War]]. It was the primary diplomatic center of the [[Apostolic King of Urcea|Apostolic Kings]] with the rest of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]]. During and after the [[Great Confessional War]], the city's stature declined considerably as diplomatic and political functions were centralized in [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]]. Despite this, it remained an important economic center and retained some prestige as [[The Hermitage (Cálfeld)|the Hermitage]] became a main Royal residence. The city was heavily industrialized in the early 19th century, losing much of its historic urban design. It suffered as a result of the [['97 Rising]] and began to lose population until after the [[Second Great War]], when many veterans relocated to the city from [[The Valley (Urcea)|the Valley]] as irrigation and government spending allowed for the construction of large [[Housing_in_Urcea#Suburban|suburbs]] in the area. By [[1980]], it regained the status as the largest city outside the Valley, and beginning in around [[2005]] it became the center of significant real estate investment and new construction. The city began to be viewed as a trendy alternative to life in the Valley, and combined with the presence of the newly renovated University of Harren began to attract a predominantly younger demographic. Today, it is an important hub of culture and the technology industry, and it remains one of Urcea's fastest growing cities. | During the medieval and renaissance periods, Cálfeld remained an important political center in the new Urcean Kingdom, though it was overshadowed for a time by Ardricampus during the [[Saint's War]].
