History
Vigjaro is the most ancient surviving settlement in the Kingdom of Hyrule, dating back to the ancient Akkalan migrations out of Arcadia. Like other Akkalan settlements it began as a sheltered community, a central Noble manor or castle home to one of the larger Houses, surrounded by rural villages governed by their bannermen, in this case its namesake, House Vryciaro. The fledgling settlement was constructed virtually right atop an ancient Wizzrobe city, either Byrna or Somaria, allowing the Wizzrobes to access the surface and interact with Akkalans. These Wizzrobes would eventually found the Order of the Wizzrobe, becoming known as traveling healers and mystics based out of the Grand Cathedral of the city. Between 3400 and 3300 BG, House Harkinian became famous for its wine production and supplanted House Vryciaro, taking the city as its seat and the other House as its bannermen. It would serve as the traditional capital and heartland of House Harkinian until the founding of the Kingdom of Hyrule. In 2982 BG, after her destruction of the Moblins and self imposed exile, Hylia fled to Vigjaro, taking shelter with the order of the Wizzrobe and granting them magical power in exchange for serving her.

Vigjaro remains a cultural and economic center of the Kingdom of Hyrule, surrounded by famous vineyards and being famous for its Wicker and Leather.
