Saillune

Saillune

Saillune "(Japanese: 白魔術都市, "white magic city", Seyruun)" is a fictional principality in the "Slayers" universe anime, manga, and novels.

Fictional information

Saillune is located within the "Mazoku Barrier" and it is the most influential realm within it. Its capital is Saillune City, a hub for economy, culture, music and learning. Saillune is ruled by Prince Philionel. His daughters Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun and her sister Gracia (Naga the Serpent) are princesses of the country.

It is unknown how long ago the kingdom was founded, but it is unlikely that it predates the Kōma War, as most human nations have been devastated by the conflict. According to "Slayers" character Lina Inverse, the capital has been founded "ages ago", meaning that Saillune must be at least a few centuries old.

Saillune City is also known as the Capital of white magic. The city's layout was designed by a trusted advisor of the prince, a white sorcerer, to resemble a giant white magic seal, a hexagram. All other magic types are suppressed within the city, while white magic spells are amplified. This, along with the fact that the hexagram also provides the capital with multiple layers of reinforced walls, makes the city nigh impregnable.

Saillune's politics and foreign affairs are exclusively oriented towards keeping the peace in the peninsula. While the state does have an army, it is never used for offense, and no sorcerer of the land uses anything other than white magic, at least officially. This, along with the nation's economical and cultural significance makes Saillune the leading nation in the region; for instance, it organized the joint efforts of sending delegations into the outer world in the beginning of the "Slayers Try" series.

Art and culture in Saillune seems to have an Arabic touch, mostly apparent in architecture and clothing, especially among the royalty. Excessive usage of white materials such as marble can be seen on buildings. Other aspects more or less follow the medieval trend, with some anachronistic elements such as restaurants or public libraries thrown in, something which is common throughout the "Slayers" world.
