'''Descarai''' is the largest city in the district of Cartevedra, [[Casilló y Réal]]. It has a population of 470,623 in city limits and a metro population of 780,556. The city covers
The city hosts many architectural landmarks, including the former Réoran capital district of Queen's Town, the palatial Castle Réal, and the River Market along the Río Buviele, which divides the city in two. Modern architecture is mostly relegated to the outlying districts, but is becoming much more popular as the city undergoes another contemporary revival. Descarai is considered the capital of the fine Corric arts, boasting seven full-size dance stages, five opera and music halls, and the sub-city of Opelutra, the center of the Corric cinema industry. The area is also home to the largest military population outside of established bases and Porta Armada. The Descarai Combat Academy, the largest military education facility in the country, and the General Staff Headquarters of the [[Royal Corric Defense Forces]], built on the foundations of an 18th-century fort, attract a semi-permanent military population of nearly 20,000. The name Descarai has become synonymous with both the fine arts scene and the military command, depending on context.
