Devros is a city in southwestern Antrium, in the province of Soréto. Devros is known for being the manufacturing capital of Antrium, with the majority of its 3 million citizens working in factory jobs. It is one of Antrium's fastest growing cities.

History

Devros was founded in 1725, by explorer Sréàlo Devros, for whom the city is named. It was incorporated into the country of American Federalist at the time of its founding in 1776. It was a fairly small town until the Industrial Revolution in the 1800s, when many factories came to Devros for its location on the Saint-Sébastien River. It has continued to grow very quickly since then.

It was out of the way of most of the violence in the American Federalist/Riconiaa Refugee Crisis and many refugees fled to the Devros area. It was one of Soréto's two candidates for capital of Antrium. It was eliminated in the first round, favoring Soréto's other candidate of Balton. They both ultimately lost to the current capital of Sivaris.
