'''Melunebet''' ([[Lithian]]: Melunebet /melunebet/<!--add IPA in the native language, and any other minority languages in the city-->) is a city located inland in [[Lugilik-Fira|the State of Lugilik]], in [[Lugida]], with a population of about 2 million.
'''Chitra''' ([[Melune language|Melune]]: [ˈtʃitə̯rä]) is a city in [[Lugida]], located on the riverside of the [[Mel River]]. Formerly the capital of the [[Kingdom of Melunair]], the city is now the capital city of [[Melon Prefecture]] and home to around 3 million people.


Melunebet is distinct from the rest of Lugida as it is historically separate from Lugida until it was conquered by the former Lugid empire on the early 19th century, aside from other short-lasted conquests. Melunebet's geographical location that is inland, combined with the presence of a major river and proximity to [[Mount Nidarum]], kept much of the city's native culture intact from external influence. Much of it is preserved today in the form of art and architecture, and it is reflected by heritage sites like [[Julimthan]], which is one of Lugida's single most visited tourist site. This unique culture made the city appointed as SESCO's Southwest/West Mirarian regional headquarters.
The city was inhabited since the 3rd millennium BCE. Scientific consensus suggests the period as marking the founding of Chitra as a permanent settlement, but was relatively unpopulated until the 3rd century BCE due to conquests by the [[Altha Dynasty]]. Much of Chitra remained in tranquility for more than a millennia, from the decline of [[Avite Empire]] in (sometime) CE up until the Lugid Revolution in 1868.
 
The city is now a tourist destination known for their distinctive culture and tradition. One notable landmark is the [[Garden of Melon]], a [[hvoir|hvoir garden]] claimed to be the world's oldest, comprising significant parts of the Old City of Chitra. Other landmarks include (something), (something), and (something).


==Etymology==
==Etymology==
The [[Lithian]] name of the city comes from the two Lithian words, ''Melunt'' "outside", and ''Lebet'' "bridge", thus literally "outside bridge". The name refers the cultural differences between the Melunes and the rest of Lugida, which makes the city "the bridge to the outside culture", as reflected in its name. Here, the "outside" may refer to either the Melunes themselves or the neighboring [[Yerlan|Yerlanis]].

Chitra (Melune: [ˈtʃitə̯rä]) is a city in Lugida, located on the riverside of the Mel River. Formerly the capital of the Kingdom of Melunair, the city is now the capital city of Melon Prefecture and home to around 3 million people.

The city was inhabited since the 3rd millennium BCE. Scientific consensus suggests the period as marking the founding of Chitra as a permanent settlement, but was relatively unpopulated until the 3rd century BCE due to conquests by the Altha Dynasty. Much of Chitra remained in tranquility for more than a millennia, from the decline of Avite Empire in (sometime) CE up until the Lugid Revolution in 1868.

The city is now a tourist destination known for their distinctive culture and tradition. One notable landmark is the Garden of Melon, a hvoir garden claimed to be the world's oldest, comprising significant parts of the Old City of Chitra. Other landmarks include (something), (something), and (something).
