> *"The Blooming City was beyond my expectation. Massive roots have become bridges and the flowers themselves are crafted into homes. One feels like an ant in Iridyon's garden!"* > *- Borx Longstrider in Tavran Tales* # Overview Bosquia, known as "The Blooming City" is the capital of [[Séllur]]. It was once a small village before the [[Blooming Blades]] chose it to be the home of the [[Petaled Revolution]]. It was then blessed by [[Sélluria]] and literallyed blossomed into the modern city of Bosquia. Today, Bosquia is the largest city in Séllur. The old town itself is built from from the roots and stems of the colossal flowers that bloomed with Sélluria's blessing. The [[Jacquemond]] palce is built into the largest flower's stem, overlooking the city. The newer districts are built in a more traditional Séllurian style. The blessed flowers are considered sacred to the worship of Sélluria, meaning that some parts of Bosquia are considered sacred sights. # Demographics Bosquia is a metropolitan city hacing close to 30,000 residents and even more travelers. People from across Séllur and Tavra flock to the Blooming City for its unique markets of [[Sol Steel]] and poultices only Séllurian blooms can produce. # Government Bosquia is home to [[Josette Jacquemond I|Queen Josette Jacquemond I]] but is directly administered by [[Duncan Darby|First Duke Duncan Darby]]. The size of Bosquia requires localized representatives for the various wards of the city that handle smaller scale happenings. Bosquia is also home to Thrivenhold University, one of the premier institutions of higher learning in Séllur and definitely the best outside the [[Dusk Counties]]. The prevalence of magic users in Bosquia has led to an increase in [[Séllurian Legal System|Magistrate]]presence, with the Archmagistrate holding their office in Bosquia.
