Ranguri

Ranguri was the capital city of the Kuong Kingdom in Malatra by the mid–14 century DR. It was the seat of power of the Priest-Kings and the center of faith for the Lords of Creation, for which it was named the Temple City, and the biggest city in the southern jungles of Kara-Tur.

Geography
Ranguri sat on the Kunong River,

History
Some time in the early 8 century DR, the Kuong deserted the capital at Parmahana and made an exodus through the jungle, founding a temporary capital at Beradandar, before moving on to the permanent capital at Ranguri.

From Ranguri, the priest-kings turned their attention north, conquering fresh territories and making their first incursion into the southern jungles of Laothan, building their empire.

Circa 1357 DR, Ranguri was the base of Priest-King Vishnan VII.

Trade
Ranguri took in trade from across the kingdom, with gems and metals from Denokanburi and weapons, armor, and custom metalwork such as winches and hoisting collars used in construction.

Description
Ranguri was a city of stone, from its temples and palaces to its flagstoned streets lit by torches. It was also a city of water, with running water available in the palaces and public facilities and an extensive system of canals. These were used for travel around the city and to drain excessive water, as the city flooded heavily in the rainy season.

The core of the city was an interconnected complex of palaces and temples that was big enough to be a town in its own right. From here, the kingdom's bureaucracy and temples were managed in detail.

Organizations
The Jarvatya, a formidable jinyan crime family, were based in Ranguri.
