New Hastings

Situated at the end of the Fleuve Bastogne, New Hastings is the sister city of Black Rock.  Both cities have been strong allies for many years. Having a primarily  logging and forestry driven economy, it was easy for New Hastings to send supplies down the river to be processed.  
Much like Walgren Forest in the west, the workers of New Hastings have taken to modifying the great spruces of Minamuck Forest.  While the climate is not suitable for Vostilization, tree farmers maintain artificial groves of Ayturian Mosswood, a critical export for the Theocracy.  It has also long been a primary goal of the Theocracy to steal the gene data for Lothian’s Topiary, the Coalition’s genetically modified tree that produces immensely strong and tough Nanocarbon Strands.  If they succeed, it would eliminate a huge technological advantage for the Coalition and its forces.  
The town gets its namesake from the old Havanite town of Hastings, which housed the seat of parliament in the Old Kingdom Of Lucieric. Like its predecessor, the city houses the Theocracy’s parliament, however its decisions and decrees generally take a back seat to the will of the Seers.  Even so, the Seers know a state cannot function without a government.  Despite being the seat of politics and legislation for the Theocracy the citizens are a highly spiritual people.  Many if not all residential units have some sort of shrine to their preferred deity, which is usually Salamar or Channa. When not worshiping at home, citizens will opt for one of the many beautiful and ornate temples situated across the city.
