Pheron
Capital
Oravel’s diplomatic capital, where treaty houses provide neutral courts, protected conference rooms, and a record belonging to neither disputing power.
Overview
The Record
Pheron provides rooms in which rival powers can meet without accepting one another’s ground. Courts, delegation houses, record chambers, and protected conference buildings form the Charter Precinct across a broad silver-blue plain. Each foreign mission has defined premises, but none possesses sovereign territory. The city, its procedure, and the record made there remain Oraveli.
The Hosts governs from the Precinct: treaty houses assembled under a presiding Host who opens the session, sets speaking order, and decides what enters the public record and what remains sealed. Pheron can protect a negotiation, preserve its terms, and issue a neutral judgment. It cannot compel parties to settle, and Oravel’s refusal to petition foreign powers keeps the city from acquiring obligations that could be used against its neutrality.
Weapons and private guards are restricted, attempts at intimidation violate the diplomatic charter, and every delegation enters under the same law. Ilyra guarantees Pheron against external coercion but gains no authority over its courts, records, or government. Ilyran representatives pass the same screening and accept the same limits as any other mission. That equality is not ceremony around Pheron’s purpose. It is the mechanism by which the city remains useful.

Environment
Pale metallic-stone courts, record chambers, delegation compounds, reflective pools, courtyards, and restrained monuments extend across a broad silver-blue mineral plain. The Charter Precinct is arranged for visibility and separation, giving each delegation defined ground without making any compound sovereign territory.

Travel Notes
Diplomatic vessels and registered civilian craft land at controlled facilities outside the Charter Precinct. Entry to diplomatic districts requires further screening; weapons are peace-bonded, private security is tightly limited, and foreign warrants have no force over Oraveli procedure. Every representative remains subject to local law.
