Novohybrilaudum

== Background ==
Novohybrilaudum (or, New Hybris), is a city founded in 239KOR by order of Duke Daelin I to establish a new civilian city for the Hybretian people. It's creation was necessitated by the overcrowding of The Citadel and the need for expansion as a new Duchy, and the failures of the smaller cities around Endiolaudika.
New Hybris suffered a fire in 242 that damaged a large portion of it, which was quickly rebuilt into new munitions factories during the Great Alarm. New Hybris became a major battleground in the Great War, but was eventually recaptured in the climactic Third Battle of New Hybris. 
In the years following the war New Hybris became an industrial center, manufacturing weapons, munitions, locomotives, steam ships, and other commercial and military products. The city remained mostly peaceful until the Third Hybretian Civil War, but has quickly been rebuilt since the end of that conflict.
New Hybris suffered riots and severe damage from the Imperial Civil War, but was rebuilt quickly. 
== Electric City ==
New Hybris saw the invention of Electricity in the late 240s, and soon after emerged as a pioneer in industry and science. The Union Science Academy, formed in 249, has created many impressive feats of invention. The city is noted for the abundance of factories, it's quality of life, and it's city wide electric light system.
New Hybris grew substantially in the 260s-270s and became a major manufacturing city. By the 290s, political unrest within the city, overpopulation, and the incredible industrialization of the city lead to several Hybretians moving from Endiolaudika to Gorathica and Recinolaudum. New Hybris's population hit 5 million in 311KOR and in 328 it absorbed Endiolaudum, leading to New Hybris covering the entirety of Endiolaudika.
New Hybris's northern Archantia district is considered very wealthy and is home to Emperor Daelin I Imperial University. The east of the city also sports the walled off Koinos district, home to the Palace of the Koinovoulio and the Emperor's New Hybris mansion, as well as the treasury.
The south and west of the city are hyper-industrialized, with crowded and packed streets, and unguarded raillines running through roads and buildings. The New Hybris Narrow Gauge Railway services the factories and ports and were installed as part of militarization efforts based on plans from the reign of Emperor Basilean III & I. In recent years a stagnant economy and overcrowding have lead to street gangs. Unlike many cities further east, New Hybris does not have significant high rise buildings, the largest buildings being the EKA Building in the center of the city's commerce district.Category:Hybretia
