Ceryne emerged as a city about seven thousand years ago, founded by Valiha Ceryne in 7,855 BC, who gave the city her name to bear. She is believed to have been a sorceress, living until 212 and appearing youthful throughout. She is said to have given the city of Ceryne a special 'allure' to draw immigration to her city, which was extremely successful; the city of Ethromaia was almost completely abandoned in favor of Ceryne. This allure, as a magic aura, is said to still persist today, which is often cited as the reason that Ceryne is the most popular city-state.
