Please consider using Template:Infobox RegionData instead, which automatically fetches the relevant and always-correct data from the game engine itself. Use this template for historical pages where the region data is no longer available (e.g. the sunk south islands).
To convert, use the "image" property - the first number is the world-id, the second the region-id.

Description
Flowrestown is a magnificent city that is set on the far eastern peninsula of Dwilight. Its location makes the only entry point to the city and its surrounding townsland Flow the more rural area of Turbul. This unique geographical location, that is seen nowhere else on Dwilight, makes Flowrestown a very well-defended city, and very isolated. Travel from both the west through Fatexna and the south through Tranquil must first converge into Turbul before any further travel can be made.
The city itself is very vibrant, as the inhabitants physically resemble the Dongese, though culturally they are different from those who once inhabited Morek. The Flow natives are more amiable, and they are very festive. As the name of Flowrestown would imply, seasonal flower festivals are regular and anticipated events. In the spring, the first blooms after the winter thaw are collected and used as decorations throughout the city. In the summer, a myriad of colors span the streets, painting the summer vivid. In the autumn harvest season, the festival occurs at the last fall harvest, when beer is consumed most heavily in celebration of a good harvest to pass by the winter. In winter, the hardiest of the cold blooms are collected and used in a tradition of gift-giving. Wreaths and bouquets of such winterblooms are used both as gifts and as ornaments for this mid-winter holiday that raises morale through the cold winter.
Flowrestown sits atop a quarry where many different metal ores can be mined. This provides much convenience for the smiths who work in the city, as they do not have to wait for imports from the western mountains.
As a coastal city, Flowrestown also has many beautiful beaches. Like the flower festivals, the city has some fishing contests in each season, to see who can catch the biggest seasonal fish. There is also a sport where people balance atop long wooden boards and try to ride waves of water. It looks exciting, but one must wonder how prudent it would be to face high tide with only a wooden board.
When Aquilegia was formed and the city made its capital, there were no violent uprisings against the government. As such, the traditions of the natives will be preserved, as they are rather fun and do not affect the affairs of the state.
