Tenshir

Tenshir (Zhenian: 텐시르, Balakhaat: ᠲᠡᠩᠰᠢᠷ), formally the City of Tenshir (Zhenian: 텐시르시, Balakhaat: ᠲᠧᠨᠰᠢᠷ ᠬᠣᠲᠠ), is the provincial capital of Zhenia's Karavankon Province, as well as the province's second most populous city and the prefectural seat of Tenshir Prefecture. Situated at the northern edge of the Balakhaat Plateau, it started out as a to replace the aging city of Jingaraat as the new capital of the province in 1572 AC, growing into the province's new political center since. It is one of the fastest-growing cities in Zhenia today, due to extensive developments in and  mines in the province; it is expected to surpass Jingaraat to become the province's most populous city by 1615 AC, while it has already become the city with the highest economic output in the province since 1588 AC.

Tenshir before 1572 AC was a small ranching town primarily owned by the Damdin family, which later grew into prominence with both real estate and mining around the city. Shortly after the November Revolution, the newly-formed Fourth Republic announced plans in 1570 AC to eventually relocate the province's capital away from Jingaraat, as a means to spur growth in underdeveloped regions of Karavankon Province. Since the completion of most government buildings in 1572 AC coupled with the relocation of prominent petroleum and mining companies from Jingaraat in the later half of the 16th century AC, the entirely planned city grew into one of the most modern cities in northern Zhenia, rising to become the second-largest city in the province.

Modern Tenshir is one of the most modern cities in northern Zhenia today, being a planned city with its master plan designed by Myrsk architect Oskar Ludvigsen. As the site of the Provincial Parliament, the Governor's Office and the Provincial High Court as well as the headquarters of PetroEast, the Zhenia National Petroleum & Gas Company (often stylized as ZhenPetro), and the Damdin Company, it is one of the most economically important city in northern Zhenia as a hub for petroleum and gas as well as the extraction of rare-earth minerals. It is home to an array of buildings, many of which were built in the 1590s and 1600s AC.
