Centralia is an island that is part of the [[settings:jaern:therhine|Rhine Archipelago]]. This island is one of the most significant powers on Jaern, with many of the island's cities having their own municipal governments but all bowing down to the rule of Centralia City. The predominate language is Ferric, although most businesspeople do speak Paroli. People that don't speak Ferric, though, are looked down on and business people that want to get ahead will always do business in Ferric.

===== Cities of Centralia =====

**[[settings:jaern:therhine:centralia:centraliacity|Centralia City:]]** The largest city on Centralia Island and in the Rhine. Many consider it the capital city because it shares its namesake with the island itself. The city is under the control of the various Lords. The city is know for being the home of many wealthy business owners and generally is on the bleeding edge when it comes to art and fashion. Many believe their is but a single law in the city, which is to keep the city clean of filth. While it rarely happens, death sentences have been handed down for littering. 

**[[settings:jaern:therhine:centralia:littlekarfelon|Little Karfelon:]]** A trade town on the south side of the road between Centralia City and Pregada. It was originally inhabited by refugees from the destruction of Karfelon. Paroli is the main language since it was the primary language of Karfelon.

It is dirty and dangerous, but conditions are steadily improving.
