Marnezjalis (Marnezjàlīs in proper Alvésin) is the capital of the province of Alvés-Navlan in Antrium. It is the largest city in that province. It was found by the Antrium Red Cross, without water or electricity, and only small huts for homes. The modern city was built by volunteers from the Antrium Red Cross.

History

Marnezjalis was founded in 2003, when a group of people from the Alvési tribe built a primitive city on the shore of Lake Kernow. They built small wooden homes without running water or electricity. They lived there for 2 years, until the Antrium Red Cross, led by Dergrīno Blantī, found their village while looking for refugees from the American Federalist crisis. (See Antrium's history for details of this crisis.)

With a lot of donated money and volunteer help, the Red Cross was able to build modern buildings and get running water and electricity to Marnezjalis and the entire province of Alvés-Navlan. The city now has a strong tourism industry from its beautiful lakeside location, and some businesses have moved to the area. The city is growing quickly, from its original population of 4,000 to 35,000 today.
