Flûte is a Canstian city along Samnian Way between Felicity and Melda Arch. Flûte is an important area for the production and weaving of silk and has developed a reputation as the capital of book printing in Canstice. Also notable is the Eastrove University, the first true university in Nora.

Due to the influence of the Élevégers, Flute was the capital of Canstice from 1 to 672 NS after House il'Fiammone moved it to Calori. Due to the destruction of Calori in 1378, the royal family has taken refuge in Flute and talks have arose to move the capital back to its original location.

History


28 PI - 14 NS - Beuroi of Flute

88 NS - Eastgrove University Founded by Tavish ket Alexander.

671 NS - However, as the Élevéger nobles continued to rule the growing Kingdom well into the 7th century, the commonfolk, made of Sofians, began to resent the rule of "foreigners". The nobility grew greatly unpopular with the commonfolk until 671, when it was revealed that Rakshasas were controlling the throne from the shadows.

1043 NS - The Golden River begins to give way to water elementals attacking any traveling down the river. The river proves unsafe for five years before the mystery is solved and the river laid to rest.
