The beautiful Zärin Flumen, situated between the mountains and the sea, is a creation between life and concrete. In its majestic hills and mighty waterways, there shall be a even more divine creation waiting to be seen.

[BlondeTwiggy 43]

My two cities.

Calm beaches and beautiful landscapes define Zärin.

On the Den'enth island, choose from colorful housing...

...and get a free palm tree with every lot. 

You may even walk to work via park trail. 

A small overview of the island. 

Thank  you for the fabulous comments

Looking amazing, cool idea and all.

Just maybe swap out those maxis windmills for ones that don't chop the heads off your sims?!

Hahaha - only kidding, again, looking great!

[TmiguelT 10]

spectacular first update there and such a great idea .

Looking forward to more from both of you.

[jacqulina 162]

wonderfull region view my friend,great update there,nice work on the details.

[Teeparex 6]

I like the scenery alot, looks a nice li'l town. Great houses as well! I noticed with the wind generators that some trees look perilously close to the rotors! Great work so far.

[Petrovar Ambassador 15]

holy bejeesus! Im lovin this CJ, awesome work you guys!

[Mayor of Tempest Lake 34]

Very lovely BT! I like them boats, and the killer wind turbines.

The city of Polaris, named after the north star, is a city in the northeastern side of the river.

Click to see the overview, and Polaris Airport.

The Polaris Airport is currently the only airport in the region. It serves as a minor hub for the region and brings in thousands of tourists, business contacts, and newcomers from around the world.

This is the steamboat that used to serve the passage between the river. However, since the completion of the Bridge, the steamboat's role grew redundant and was eventually converted to a restaurant. It now rests, albeit not quietly, at the Polaris docks, where thousands of guests visits her for a delightful Zärin themed cuisine.

The Polaris Church, completed in 1599, stands as an important landmark for Polarisans of the memories of their ancestors.

Most of the leisure boats that make Polaris her home docks at the Polaris Marina. The Marina rests at the heart of downtown and is a convenient walk from any commercial establishments.

The Wharf is a tourist attraction. From fresh fish to excellent seafood dishes, the wharf opens at 3am for prospective seafood buyers from restaurants from around the region, and 10am when the tourists arrive to taste the local delicacy.

The fishing port is a lifeline for the fishing industry in Polaris. This is the only place where fishing boats of all shapes and sizes can have their systems checked and their boats docked.

The Polaris Ferry Terminal connects Polaris to cities around the region. At the ferry terminal, all the major Polarisan attractions are within a 5 min walk radius.

"Polarisans should be responsible for their actions" is the response the mayor of Polaris gave when this condominium burned to the ground last night. "If I have to personally dispatch a fire truck every time someone's cat is up a tree, I won't have time to do anything else. It should be the Fire Chief that respond to the fire."

aaglo - thank you very much for the comments.

TmiguelT - Thank you for the encouragement.

jacqulina - hello jac! Thank you for your support.

Teeparex - Thank you for your comments.

Petrovar Ambassador - Thank you for your enthusiasm.

BlondeTwiggy - exchange now?

[jacqulina 162]

love the marina/dock excellent work and pics my friend

[Follarch 326]

That's a beautiful marina Tempest, that looks very well done!

It's serene, calm, blends very well.

Maybe don't develop so close to the water like that, leave some room for the beach unless you're going to build a waterfront.

[Vahr 341]

Wow this joint-CJ is looking good so far! I like the photoshop effects and how you used the PEG CDK kits. Everything blends so nicely.

Going to come back for sure,

Vince

[Twenty20 28]

Keep it up!

- Phil

[BlondeTwiggy 43]

Hehe, nice update Mayor, I like the Marina.

Jacqulina  Thanks for stopping by again, Jac.

Archean  That’s a good idea, and I often have the same problem myself, developing too close to the water’s edge… but at least my apartments don’t catch on fire...

Blue Lightning  Hope to see you again BL! 

Twenty20  Hey thanks for commenting!

Sc4portugal  Lol, I’m glad you think so.

PhilsCafe  Haha, glad to see you here Phil

Now you can see all of the cities.  39k and about 90% of that is Polaris.

Here is the area I worked on (Den'enth). 

Farming is an important industry on mainland Den'enth.

[Follarch 326]

I liked the farms, though I think the rail bridge could have been better placed.

Great rural towns and coastline though, the eyecandy is working nicely for this CJ.

[nottheboss 1]

MERAK

(Click to view the full size photo)

This little town was founded at least 100 years ago by Sir Francis Merak. His crew were in a search for new lands and after a landing, he made this site his new base of operation, after he discovered an abundance of resources around the area.

The Merakan Church is the primary worship place in the city. It was built by the order of Merak to celebrate the founding of Merak. It also looks over the Merak cemetery, located just outside of the town limit.

The Merak shopping center is the only large-scale shopping area in town. It is home to 40 different stores, ranging from your small-scaled drug stores, to a larger department store. It also houses a professional center, where Merakan can visit there local clinic, or the dentist.

Merak is home to people of different backgrounds. From the agricultural specialists, to the top of the tier CEOs.

The Zarin Ferry Company has ferry services that connects Merak to adjacent towns of Polaris and Den'enth. It's efficient, and very friendly. However, after the opening of the Northern Highway, less people found this idyllic method of travel to Polaris redundant.

STRANGE RELICS

A number of mysterious markings to the north of Merak has recently been found by a local rancher who was looking for his missing sheep. Local archaeologist Tony Baboon said that the markings does seem to hold a significance in marking the location of something. "It is definitely manmade. However, we still have yet to discover its true identity, and its history." Currently, his team of archaeologist are trying to found out if the relics does hold knowledge, or is just a hoax some ancient tribes had set up.
