Motto
What happens in Caldera City, stays in Caldera City.
Overview
Caldera City is the former home of the Giants, and as such is built to the grand scale of their much more significant heights. This probably meant that all of the doorknobs had to be relocated to a more accessible height, etc, and that most of the existing chairs and such could also double as minor fortifications.
It's located in the far northeastern part of the Firan lands, outside of any clan borders, and due to its special significance as the refuge where Queen Sabine led the people to during the Exodus it is populated by people from most of the various clans. As a result, it's unique as the only city in the Republic other than the capitol, ruled independent of any clan leader with the possible exception of Divided Scirlut.
Rather linked to this is Caldera City's fame as a home to political refugees, fugitives, and exiles. During the Great War, Caldera City played host to a Lanesh uprising. This is rather understandably played down by the city's tourist officials.
Flora and Fauna
Caldera City is also famous for the Giant Eagles, one of the few creatures known to scare the metaphoric poo out of griffons.
Historical Significance
Firan Unification was achieved during the Caldera City Accords, which makes the city of enormous political and historical significance.
Religious Significance
The Caldera City is said to be the domain of the Goddess Uf who is said to dwell on the sacred island in the lake in the middle of the Caldera City. Mortals are not supposed to trespass there and Giant Eagles guard it like their lair.
