The [[Wikipedia:Industrial Revolution|Industrial Revolution]] in the late 18th and early 19th centuries saw a massive population boom and migration of people towards the area. Sani Bursil was the largest city on the banks of [[Morsa Lake]] and saw the largest population increase among neighbouring cities and towns. In the 19th century, tramways and horse and carriage roads were the main transport infrastructure. In the 1920s it was predicted that automobiles would become an integral part of commuting in the following decades, and the inner city was transformed to accomodate them. The city was extensively bombed in the [[Auroran Imperial War]], and many important buildings did not survive, though notably [[Parliament of Great Morstaybishlia|Kalmington Palace]] did. Many significant old buildings which weren't totally destroyed were reconstructed. The city was rebuilt in the 1970s, and its roads were widened to accomodate cycling lanes. |
||
The five cities each had existed since the early stages of [[Great Morstaybishlia]] with Bursil and Kerveri's roots laying from [[List_of_cities_in_Great_Morstaybishlia#History|near-antiquity]]. Each city prospered enormously by the riches of [[Lake Lamberta]], and by the 17th century the lake began to amalgamate people in from as far as Andel and as wide as Port Barnaul. The key to its success was the fundamental idea it held healing and extensive medicinal values. The five boroughs – Gersega, Verhana, Keveri, Celidizia and Bursil – were consolidated into a single city in 1952, forming the megalopolis. The city adopted its shortened name of ''Sani Bursil'' in 1955 because of complicated royal reasons and the fact that pronouncing the five barrelled name was quite difficult in one breath. The city's five boroughs are self governing and each have provosts, but are helmed by a single Lord Provost. Bursil is by far the dominant metropolitan borough of the supercity by area, financial, and population as well as the richest. |

Many districts and landmarks in Sani Bursil have become well known, and the city received a record 201 million tourists in 2016. Several sources have ranked Sani Bursil the most photographed city in Urth. |

== |
==Etymology== |
||
The earliest written record of Sani Bursil is from an original manuscript found during renovation of a temple in Arsal in 1649, which among others describing Impelanzan rule over [[Staynes|Estenes de la Aurora]], describes a battle fought over the pillared fortress ''Burhsūli''. The pillared fortress was sainted under Impelanzan rule, becoming ''Sanctus Burhsūli''. This lasted for two centuries from the 4th to the early 6th, being reclaimed around the fall of Impelanza. |
|||
===Etymology=== |
|||
Each city within Sani Bursil is governed by their own local government district. Gersega, Verhana, Keveri, Celidizia and Bursil. Sani Bursil as a whole is governed by a Lord Provost who works with the provosts of each city. |
|||
===Early History=== |
|||
During the last interglacial period, the entire metropolitan area was underwater. However, there were a few rocky islets. |
|||
===Lamboleperto rule=== |
|||
The area was settled in 452 AD by the kingdom of Lamboleperto. The first decade saw small skirmishes between the Lambole people and the Tuke. The Tuke settlement was reduced by plague, which allowed the Lambole to further establish the settlement, and by 345 AD was conned "The moonlight town" because of the strong light reflecting off of the lake from the moon. The area lasted under Lamboleperto rule for over half a millennia until its defeat to the First Ethalrian Empire in 896 AD. |
|||
===Ethalrian rule=== |
|||
Birisaye fell under Ethalrian occupation in 896 AD, which lasted until 905, where they fell to the Tuke Empire. Approximately 3,400 people were killed. |
|||
===Tuke rule=== |
|||
The Tuke Empire ruled the area once again from 905 - 925 AD. |
|||
===Morstaybishlian rule=== |
|||
In 975 AD, the new-found Kingdom of Staynes invaded Burisaye, led by [[Pip the Gallant]]. The famous battle, the [[Stand of Fifty]], saw fifty Morstaybishlian soldiers defeat the entire remaining Tuke army, which roughly stood at 1,000. They maintained their rule for almost two centuries. In this period, the town grew from 95,000 to 410,000. In 991 AD, [[Slek the Gentle]] introduced Hobstiberries from Redrugus. Not long after, the metropolitan area was considered a city, although there was five towns, in four cases there were at least seven miles of separation. |
|||
In 1081 AD, [[Redrugus II]] ordered the construction of [[Sani Bursil Royal Palace|Burisaye Royal Palace]], located in the Bursil town. |
|||
===Second Ethalrian rule=== |
|||
A second Ethalrian invasion in 1102, led by [[Tummikar I]] saw the end of Morstaybishlian occupation. Tummikar I executed Redrugus II in Meta daw park, which is also the King's existing burial site. Tummikar saw potential in Burisaye and invested a lot of labour into developing fortification and existing farmyards. However, due to threats other than Morstaybishlia, Tummikar was forced to abandon Burisaye in 1151 in favour for Santan and Rivendale. |
|||
===Second Morstaybishlian rule=== |
|||
A week after abandonment, Morstaybishlia reclaimed the metropolis. |
|||
During [[Lambertus III]]'s reign, the metropolis had a population of 2 million. After the [[Great_Morstaybishlia#Union_of_the_Thrones|Union of the Thrones]], Burisaye reached new heights of emigration and became the most prosperous city of its time. |

===Architecture=== |
|||
Sani Bursil has architecturally noteworthy buildings in a wide range of styles and from distinct time periods. |
|||
Sani Bursil's skyline, with its many skyscrapers, is universally recognised, and the city has been home to several of the tallest buildings in the world. As of 2011, Sani Bursil had 12,537 high-rise buildings, of which 1,236 completed structures were at least 330 feet (100 m) high, with over 240 completed skyscrapers taller than 656 feet (200 m). These include the Jeknu Tower, the government building for Finance Control. |

Because the city was described as being pillared, etymologists widely agree that ''Burhsūli'' comes from an earlier [[Ethalrian language|proto-Ethalrian]] translation ''Burgzsūliz'', where ''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/burgz| burgz]'' means "fortress" (similar to how ''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/burh#Old_English| burh]'' is related to ''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/burg#Old_English| burg]'' in [[Wikipedia:English language|Old Staynish]]), and ''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/s%C5%ABliz| sūliz]'' means "pillar". When the Staynish reclaimed Sani Bursil in the 10th century, the city was known as ''Sanu Burhsyl''. The ''t'' pronounciation had been lost, and [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-West_Germanic/s%C5%ABli| sūli] had shrank to ''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/syl#Old_English| syl]''. |
|||
==Sport== |
|||
===Football=== |
|||
Football has been a dominant sport in '''Sani Bursil''', with 31 professional football clubs and 49 non-professional in all districts. The most prominent clubs in the last several years have been [[Celidizia F.C.]], [[Jubrayn F.C.]], [[Yatal F.C.]], [[Ferya United F.C.]] and [[Bursil F.C.]]. Bursil F.C. has won the most trophies out of the five large clubs in the last twenty years. eleven [[Staynish Premier League]] trophies, four Grand Cup trophies and six Lamberta Cups whilst their biggest rivals Celidizia F.C. trails at four Staynish Premier League trophies, six Grand Cup trophies and one Lamberta Cup. |
|||
The city's first recorded modern spelling was in a letter sent by King Crago IV in 1464 to a Magister residing in Bourbridge. The city was spelt by future King Lambertus III as ''Sanu Bursul'', but future letters suggested that by his reign in the early 16th century, the city was commonly written as ''Sani Bursil''. |

Sani Bursil is the capital and largest city of Staynes and Great Morstaybishlia, a global city and financial centre with an urban area population of 50.8 million in 2024, making the city the largest populated city in the world. Sani Bursil exerts a significant impact upon commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment. It is regarded as the Cradle of Aurora.
The city and its metropolitan area constitute the premier gateway for legal immigration to Staynes, and as many as 1,200 languages are spoken in Sani Bursil, making it Urth's most linguistically diverse city. Sani Bursil is home to more than 11 million residents born outside Great Morstaybishlia and their Overseas Territories, making it Urth's largest foreign-born population of any city. By 2016 estimates, the Sani Bursil metropolitan region remains by a significant margin the most populous in Staynes, as defined by the Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), 56.6 million residents. As one of three headquarters of the United Nations of the Auroran Continent (UNAC), Sani Bursil is an important centre for international diplomacy and has been described as the cultural, financial, and media capital of Urth.
The Industrial Revolution in the late 18th and early 19th centuries saw a massive population boom and migration of people towards the area. Sani Bursil was the largest city on the banks of Morsa Lake and saw the largest population increase among neighbouring cities and towns. In the 19th century, tramways and horse and carriage roads were the main transport infrastructure. In the 1920s it was predicted that automobiles would become an integral part of commuting in the following decades, and the inner city was transformed to accomodate them. The city was extensively bombed in the Auroran Imperial War, and many important buildings did not survive, though notably Kalmington Palace did. Many significant old buildings which weren't totally destroyed were reconstructed. The city was rebuilt in the 1970s, and its roads were widened to accomodate cycling lanes.
Many districts and landmarks in Sani Bursil have become well known, and the city received a record 201 million tourists in 2016. Several sources have ranked Sani Bursil the most photographed city in Urth.
Etymology
The earliest written record of Sani Bursil is from an original manuscript found during renovation of a temple in Arsal in 1649, which among others describing Impelanzan rule over Estenes de la Aurora, describes a battle fought over the pillared fortress Burhsūli. The pillared fortress was sainted under Impelanzan rule, becoming Sanctus Burhsūli. This lasted for two centuries from the 4th to the early 6th, being reclaimed around the fall of Impelanza.
Because the city was described as being pillared, etymologists widely agree that Burhsūli comes from an earlier proto-Ethalrian translation Burgzsūliz, where burgz means "fortress" (similar to how burh is related to burg in Old Staynish), and sūliz means "pillar". When the Staynish reclaimed Sani Bursil in the 10th century, the city was known as Sanu Burhsyl. The t pronounciation had been lost, and sūli had shrank to syl.
The city's first recorded modern spelling was in a letter sent by King Crago IV in 1464 to a Magister residing in Bourbridge. The city was spelt by future King Lambertus III as Sanu Bursul, but future letters suggested that by his reign in the early 16th century, the city was commonly written as Sani Bursil.
