Serrentino is the capital and only notable city in the Principality of Montebianco. It is located on the eastern end of the Inner Sea just north of the Strait of Levcovouno. The city is defined by its cramped living conditions in areas and spacious luxury apartments in others.
History
The city began as a small trading post on the eastern fringes of the Archadian Empire. However, after the empires retreat, the city soon boomed as it began to govern itself. It soon became a part of the Principality of Montebianco and became the economic and political centre of the realm. The city and its village sprawl eventually grew over time to make the city a respectably big settlement which grands its rulers great influence in the Inner Sea.
As is typical for many cities, Serrentino has areas of outstanding wealth and areas of outstanding poverty. The Centro district neighbouring the royal palace is known for its wealthy aristocratic-like residents and its high-stakes commercial businesses. Meanwhile, the Occidente district is mostly home to poor farmers and destitute drunkards who line the streets with their alcohol stenched stupor.
In 1120 AIC, the city hosted the Serrentino Conference, welcoming diplomats from every corner of Pluribus.
