Villamonte

Villamonte is the most populous and largest city of Raland.

History
Villamonte was founded in around 1404 by the Vhillurokans, who separated themselves from the Kliphocyrans and the Kapurans in the 14th century.

Villamonte was rebuilt four times following the devastation caused by the 1471 earthquake, the 1746 earthquake, the Japanese air raids of 1942 and the 1973 earthquake.

Popular music
Villamonte lends its name to the Villamonte sound, a form of rock music which was created in the city in the early-1980s and was often considered a competitor to the Vlokozu sound of the same era.

Villamonte has been home to bands and musical artists since the end of the Villamonte sound era. Karmann Ghia, Authentic Households and Lindsay Younge are Villamonte artists.
