One of the four major city-states of Agurts, Armaria is the birthplace of Agurts's renewable agricultural technology and houses the nation's state-owned farms. It also hosts the largest farmers' market in the country, attracting peasants and merchants from all over Agurts to trade their produce. The name "Armaria" means "shield", deriving from the famous statue "Lady with the Shield" in the center of the city. Armarians regard her as their patron saint and guardian of the countryside.
