Ardashirshahr (Elw: Ardaxirxaar) is an Elwynnese royal city and bailiwick, and is the capital of Alalehzamin and Utasia. With a population (1624) of 7,678,177 residents, it is one of the largest cities in Elwynn. The Greater Ardashirshahr metropolitan area also includes the neighbouring bailiwicks of Arsalani, Babrân, Eskenderyebandar and the Jazâ’ir ul Zjandariyah — the combined population (1624) for the metropolitan area is 10,067,186.

Ardashirshahr was incorporated in 1499 by Baron Ardashir I and was named after the baron. However, between 1542 and 1552, and between 1570 and 1601, the city bore the name Tielion Loki.

About

Prior to becoming the capital of Alalehzamin and Utasia, Ardashirshahr was the capital of the County of Lesser Zjandaria.

The city is chiefly noted for its 'brutally functional' transportation map [1], the time spent as a divided city during the period of the Elwynnese Union's independence and for the innumerable flak towers that dominate the suburbs.
