|Geography=Lavierin lies in central Khamria, on the western side of the Așdilu Mountains, which enclose the [[Domain of Yairan]]. The city is built vertically, with tiered districts cut into the mountain. Most of it is underground. The [[Binzir Hills]] lie to its northwest.

Two [[Deep Roads]] begin at Lavierin. The Lav-Lep Deep Road runs west toward [[~~Lepigisţil~~]], and the Lav-Gar Deep Road runs northeast to [[~~Găreag~~]].

|History=Lavierin stands on the site of a [[Namuril]] settlement built during the [[Great Erosion]]. When the Great Erosion ended, the Namuril sealed the [[Gates of Origin]] and left the Baviare Vale.

Line 25:

The ancestors of the [[Arânzeni]] entered Khamria in 300 ME and founded Lavierin in 302 ME among the abandoned Namuril structures. It was the first permanent human settlement in Khamria. [[Loarpie]], an architect and [[Yacinsain]], was an early figure in the city and is credited with shaping its civic law.

~~During~~ the ~~tribal period that followed~~, the [[Guziria|Guzirias]] ~~and the Yacinsains~~ were ~~established~~ as ~~orders in the city~~. Oinien tunnels reached Lavierin in ~~the same period~~ and became the Lav-Gar ~~and~~ Lav-Lep Deep ~~Roads, which~~ opened trade with [[Orinilure]] and brought [[Oinien]] to live in the city. ~~~~

The Yacinsains emerged in about 310 ME and were formalized as an order in 325 ME, when they established their archive in the [[Ierigiț Vaults]]. The Council of Lavierin was founded in 340 ME as the governing body of the city, and the [[Guziria|Guzirias]] were founded with it as its military order.

Oinien tunnels from [[Orinilure]] reached Lavierin by way of [[Gareag]] in 372 ME and became the Lav-Gar Deep Road. The Lav-Lep Deep Road was opened in 431 ME. The roads opened trade with Orinilure and brought [[Oinien]] to live in the city.

In 389 ME a force of [[Mundari]] crossed into the Baviare Vale and attacked the approaches to the city. The attack was turned back at the [[Arlindu Gate]], which the Namuril had built during the Great Erosion. Afterward the Arânzeni built the fortified district of [[Arigiterlic]] beyond the gate. It was completed in about 400 ME.

When the Arânzeni Confederation was formed in 450 ME, Lavierin became its capital, and the Council of Lavierin took authority over the Confederation as a whole.

~~The [[Mundari]] have attacked the approaches to the city. The [[Arlindu Gate]] and the fortified district of [[Arigiterlic]] were built to defend it. ~~

The [[Ziplițic District]] was added in 640 ME, as trade with peoples outside Khamria grew.

The [[Ziplițic District]] was added in ~~the 7th century~~ ME, as trade with peoples outside Khamria grew. ~~~~

The collapse of [[Lainer Station]] closed the Lav-Lep Deep Road for ~~a time~~ and cut the city's western route. ~~~~

The collapse of [[Lainer Station]] in 781 ME closed the Lav-Lep Deep Road for several years and cut the city's western route.
