Tarsya

Tarsya is the capitol city of Ingardia and home of the Expansion Society of Hesperia. It is known for being the headquarters of the Expansion Society and for the advancements it has made in terms of science and technology.

Geography
Tarsya lies in the southern central part of Ingardia. The city itself was built in a sort of half-valley with the mountains being to the east of the city. As the city expanded it encroached to the base of the mountains, and a gondola developed so that people could take rides up the mountain.

Attractions

 * The Expansion Society of Hesperia Headquarters: Probably what the city is best known for, the Expansion Society lives here and is what can be argued the reason that Tarsya is perhaps the most advanced city in all of Hesperia. Tours are given of the main building, which showcases the history of the society, its achievements, and its current work. Since these tours are very popular, one must reserve a spot in advance.
 * Center for Steam Research: Perhaps the city's most iconic feature is Steam Tower, a large tower that rises as a symbol of the power of technology. This is a part of the Center for Steam Research, or the "Steam Complex" or "Steam Central" as it is nicknamed by some of the citizens. Here there are also tours of some of the non-restricted and classified areas of the complex, but these are limited to members of the Expansion Society. The projects from the center can be viewed on almost every street of Tarsya: the products developed and released range anywhere from small steam-powered bicycles to the gondola that runs down one side of the hill Tarsya is adjacent to.
