Government
The city has Head Priest appointed by The High Priest of the Twin-Temples.

History
As the Dragonborn settlers the Nuthra Sands looking for new, viable options to expand, they happened upon a natural harbour with an abundance of life under the water.
A small settlement was established and the local people began to fish and eventually farm Pearls too.
After a little time, The Vanhu began to cross paths with the settlement.
A mutual respect was formed, and a system of trade between the Vlarians and Vanhu. It was through these trades that the people of Vlarith learned about the edible Cactus Fruit and basic moisture farming techniques.

Architecture
The Southern Wall shows clear signs of wear and tear from being blasted by the sandstorms from Nuthra Sands.
Every building's exterior is built from pale-looking stone and uses wood for the framework. The majority of building have either a square or rectangular base. The Southernmost corners of important building all point to the Nuthra Sands in the South. This is to help reduce the erosion caused by the sandstorms.
The closer to the centre of the city you get, the more dense and tall the building become.
Geography
Based within the desert, but also on the coast.
The heat and dryness is balanced by the access to water.
Climate
Vlarith is blessed with a year-round summer.
This blessing is also a curse as there is a distinct lack of rain to provide water for the crops or drinking. (Thankfully, the Moisture Farms and irrigation compensate for this.)
Whilst the city is also kissed by breeze, it comes in the form of Sandstorms from the Nuthra Sands.
