Jalsatyń (Qazan:jalsatyń /ˈʑalsatŋ̩/) is the capital as well as the largest city of  Qazania. Jalsatyń is located in East Khaazland and along with its metropolitan area it forms the Municipality of the Metropolitan Area of Jalsatyń, a municipality that is directly governed by the government of Qazania. As of 2019, its population is 2,962,180, making it the 8th largest city in Boroso.

Jalsatyń serves as the religious centre for Qaldaism and previously Devotionism in East Khaazland. Notable sights in Jalsatyń include Jet's House of Prayer, The Qaldic Holy Gateway, Jalqaýyfśa and more.

Etymology

The name Jalsatyń comes from the Qazan words Jala, meaning "safe" and Satyń, meaning "city". The nickname Jasa is a shortened form of "Jalsatyń" used in slang, and Qaafma is the old name for Jalsatyń. The name Qaafma is a combination of two Qazan words - Qaaz - the old demonym for Qazan and hafma - a loanword from Classical Letsatian meaning "place". The oldest name for Jalsatyń was Kadvača, formed using kadva which was derived from kad(v), a loan from Old South Bavkiri kad(y) meaning to bless and the suffix -ča/če meaning place.

History

Formation

Jalsatyń was formed in 482 AD under the name Kadvača (from Kadva meaning blessing and ča meaning place). Kadvača was known for farming and baking. In 742 AD a trade route from Kadvača to Jigek along with trade routes to Central and West Khaazland were established, and Kadvača became a trade centre and flourished. It was also at this time that Kaazist and Devotionist temples and monasteries were beginning to appear in the city.

The architecture Jalsatyń is composed of a mix between old and new architecture, with most of its buildings being built around the late 19th and early 20th century. Not long after the Mwamban occupation of Qazania, tourism was prioritised along with economy in the city, and efforts were made to design the city to appeal to tourists. Of the landmarks, the Jet's House of Prayer and the Jalqaýyfśa were strong candidates for becoming the city centre of Jalsatyń, but ultimately the Independence Square of Qazania became the most popular destination in Jalsatyń and hence became Jalsatyń's city centre. Around the same time, residential buildings were built alongside the older buildings of Jalsatyń, giving the city its notable mix of old and new architecture. High class hotels and restaurants were also built in the centre of Jalsatyń and historic areas of the city became popular locations for street vendors.
