    CITIES
    New Metaxashire
    The Capital of Fireflance and 3rd largest city in the country. Residents of Metaxashire in Davis Island came to Fireflance five centuries ago (16th century) and established a new city in the shores of the river Hydropotter.
    New Metaxashire is known as being the host city of the 4th ESCChat Song Contest. The contest was held in the Olympic Arena of New Metaxashire which had a capacity of 50 000 people.

    Hermioneton
    This is the largest city of Fireflance.
    Hermioneton is most known for its Film Awards, called the University Awards. The most popular actors of the world come to Hermioneton each year for the University Awards. A winner of an award is given the Golden Firefly. Even a nomination is considered remarkable.
    The city is also known as the city that hosted the first Modern Olympic Games in 1796. The organization was so advanced that no city dared to host four years later. Larger and more powerful countries, motived by their humiliation as they couldn’t host Olympics as good as Hermioneton, tried to hide the event that this ever happened, by trying to destroy any proof there was. Their actions included the burning of books written about the games, the melting of all metals given and the destruction of any audiovisual material (as cameras had existed in Fireflance for more than a century at that time). Unfortunately for them, books and written material were found and are kept in the Langdon Museum in Dumbledale.
    Although Hermioneton hosted the Olympics, several events took place at New Metaxashire justifying the need for an Olympic Arena in both cities.

    Le Vol du Mort
    This is the fourth largest city in Fireflance. Le Vol du Mort is very famous for its casinos and its corruption. Thousands of people from all over the world visit Le Vol du Mort each year to attend the International Poker Tournament.
    Le Vol du Mort has a lot of records, such as being the first city in Fireflance in the use of drugs and criminality.
    Residents of Le Vol du Mort are known to be in a continuous disagreement with the residents of Dumbledale. This disagreement resulted a lot of times in vandalistic actions and destructions, mainly in Dumbledale. It is also considered to be the main cause of the first (and only to date) civil war in Fireflance. In the civil war, Le Vol du Mort joined Los Malfoys, Diagon Snape and half of Padfoot Lestrange (mainly the residents of the part of the city called Lestrange) in a war against Dumbledale, Hermioneton, Weasledam, Doogevol Anul and the rest of Padfoot Lestrange (residents of the part of the city called Padfoot). The war seemed to have been won by Le Vol du Mort and its allies, but Diagon Snape joined Dumbledale and its allies and won in the end (more information can be seen below, in Diagon Snape).
    Note: New Metaxashire didn’t participate in the war as it didn't exist at that time.

    Dumbledale
    This is the 2nd largest city in Fireflance. Dumbledale attracts the most tourists that visit Fireflance as it has a lot of monuments. One of them is the “Fred & George Statue”, a statue showing two twin brothers born in Weasledam that fought in the Intercontinental War. Fred lost an ear and a brother at that war but never stopped fighting. He was considered a national hero when he returned alive to Weasledam carrying his brother’s body.
    The most famous museum in Fireflance, the Langdon Museum, is also in Dumbledale. It was named after the famous Professor of Religious Iconology and Symbology, Robert Langdon.
    The Dumbledale University attracts a lot of students, as it is considered to be one of the best universities for Mathematics, Sciences and Medicine. It is also the best university for students who are interested in Criminology. It is one of the oldest universities of the continent, founded in the 15th century. Robert Langdon teaches at the Dumbledale University. In his autobiography, he wrote: “If I were to start my life over from the beginning, the only think I would change would be to skip teaching in the Harvard University and start teaching in the Dumbledale University immediately after finishing my studies. My experience here has definitely been constructive.”

    Weasledam
    This is a small town in the mountains of Fireflance, which is known as the homeland of Fred and George Weasley (the town was named after them).

    Los Malfoys
    Los Malfoys is probably the richest city in Fireflance. It’s also the most polluted city in the country as 99.9% of the factories in Fireflance are in Los Malfoys.

    Doogevol Anul
    This is a quite small city. Its residents are known to be looney. Other than that there is no more important information to learn about it.

    Padfoot Lestrange
    The residents of the city formerly known as the Putus Cruor (Pure Blood in Latin), started dividing the city into two parts. The process of this division lasted almost a century. One part was called Padfoot and the other was called Lestrange. The main reason they divided their city was the different political ideology of the two groups of people.

    Diagon Snape
    Despite its small size, Diagon Snape has managed to change the history of Fireflance. Before the Civil War, residents of Diagon Snape shared the same political ideologies with residents of Le Vol du Mort but were enemies. Instead, residents of Diagon Snape were allied with Dumbledale. When the war broke out, though, they immediately joined Le Vol du Mort. But it seems as they were acting as double spies, as just before the war would end and Le Vol du Mort was going to win, an attack of Le Vol du Mort on Diagon Snape caused them to reveal the secret weapons of Le Vol du Mort to Dumbledale with no hesitation. Dumbledale and its alliances managed to win the war, thanks to the help of Diagon Snape.
    The historic Diagon Snape Alley is where the last battle was given and Le Vol du Mort was defeated.
