“	A prophet once said: As long as Trier endures, mirth and glee will never falter.	„
— Aurore Lee to Lumian Lee on Circle of Inevitability, Chapter 12

Trier is the capital of the Intis Republic. Located in the region of the Ryan River and Srenzo River. It is a place with bustling arts and humanities, a sacred land for artists, musicians, and novelists. After the rebuilt of Emperor Roselle, it was in the true sense of the word, a world-class metropolis.

In the Fourth Epoch, it was the capital of the Tudor Empire.

Description

Trier is surrounded by a wall that is three meters high and has 54 gates, each gate manned by tax collectors and police who also apprehend wanted criminals. Trier’s city walls encompassed a total of 20 quartiers.

The city used to be smaller and was surrounded by quarries that provided stone for building. As the population grew, the city expanded and enveloped the quarries, causing the ground to become riddled with holes and mine tunnels. Additionally, some parts of Trier sank underground in the Fourth Epoch, and the installation of sewers, subways, and gas pipes by the government make the underground network more extensive than what's on the surface.

Despite its pollution, the city's industrial layout was relatively sensible, confining the impact to specific areas. Most of it lay to the south, where factories were abundant. This allow Trier to remain bathed in sunlight, unlike Backlund.

Trier, a city dressed in gold,
A ball that endures 'til dawn unfolds,
Chicken roasted, dripping with oil's grace,
A castle cake to fill each eager embrace,
A bow-tied attendant glides 'mongst the guests,
Merrily dancing with joy and delight.
My beloved, hidden 'midst the crowd,
Among them, a beacon shining bright,
Among them, my love resides,
In the Capital of Joy, forever Trier!

— Circle of Inevitability, Chapter 236

Most Trieriens enjoy walking around leisurely. Thus, they walk turtles and let it lead to emphasize their leisurely pace. It's a gauge to measure walking speed and a device to quantify elegance.

Many students were audacious and reckless, daring to engage in any endeavor and shout slogans of 'freedom' when challenged. They always concoct lies to sneak into the catacombs, they sing, dance, and feast there, burning the bones of nameless corpses to warm their asses.

Since 1357, newlyweds have been bringing young guests into the catacombs, crossing paths with the deceased. It's become a popular tradition in Trier. Young folks are always daring, taking pride in their courage and delighting in scaring others.
