Trenton

Situated at the mouth of the frigid Polaris Bay, the city of Trenton is considered by many to be the capital of the Theocracy.  It has the largest population at 50,000,000 residents, most of which work to support the massive farming territory, which spans all the way to the Ellesmere River.  Fallow swaths are used for heavy armor and weapons training with vehicles being shipped in from Płock.  The southern sector of the city contains the Theocracy’s Sacred Ministry Of Scientific Harmony. It is here that developments in Theocracy technology have been made, such as the discovery of the Vostilization process, or Miekel’s Fire.  The ministry can only develop technologies approved by the Seers however, lest they incur the wrath of the Gods Of The Passage. Researchers are selected from across the Theocracy by prospectors; no village or town is too small.  To be selected by the ministry to research is considered a great honor in the Theocracy, and the chosen will likely have a monument erected in their name at their home town. 
Further down near the coast lies the Swintus Naval Academy, named after the storied Admiral Beauregard Swintus. Here cadets are trained to survive the harsh conditions at sea, with  the Polaris Bay providing a conducive arena for war games and combat exercises.  Newly minted officers and captains are most likely to be sent off to the ongoing front in the South Harbinger Sea, or stationed on one of the Theocracy’s numerous Monitor Class Megaliths.  
Despite the city’s history of military developments and expansion, there are groups of citizens that campaign for peace against the Iron Coalition.  The most membered group is named the Pax-Integrus Proposition.  They believe in peaceful resistance as the ultimate act of defiance, and they preach a return to the ways of living that the Sacred Wanderers taught them over a thousand years ago.  While the group still believes in the Gods Of The Passage, the Seers of the faith view them as foolish at best, and heretics at worst.  It is not uncommon for more eccentric worshipers of the faith to attack and even kill members of the Pax-Integrus Proposition, with these crimes usually going unpunished by the Sacred Ministry of Law.  It is rumored however that many citizens of the Theocracy sympathize with their views but do so in silence and secret, lest the ever-present eyes and ears of the Seers catch wind of their whispers.
