Verdon

Verdon is a location in Somber Elegy: A Final Stand. It is a metropolitan city-state at the bottom of sprawling alps on the coastline of a massive wasteland. The city is all-encompassed by a large barrier wall, which serves to protect its inhabitants and assets from outside threats. For most of Verdon's history, it was also protected by the Shield Wall, a repellent of the dangers that lie outside the city.
The city was founded by an unknown person, who was storied to have built the Shield Wall and the city's entire electrical grid. Their descendants were rumored to have ruled the city for most of its history. Eventually the mega-corporation, World Alliance Organization, and its leader, Machiavellian Allod Arront, took over the position of ruling the city, and served as a regent in the absence of a fitting scion of the previous rulers. Machiavellian leveraged the war with the city gangs, and other world wars to remain in power, and became an iron-fisted dictator, along with the corrupt and bureaucratic Grand Council of Verdon City.
Machiavellian was killed in-office during an engagement with Katelynn Tezzar, at the World's Core. Although it was eventually discovered Katelynn was the true heir to ruling the city, Machiavellian's daughter, Trinity, inherited governorship parallel to the Grand Council shortly before she dissolved it. Trinity proved to be much more benevolent than her father, and remains the governor of the now-peaceful Verdon City, which availed over the street gangs and other threats with the help of Katelynn.
Along with the electric grid, barrier walls, and the Shield Wall, the city is entirely self-sustaining thanks to other technological and industrial feats, such as the energy mine, strip mine, power station, drill platform, and pumping station. The city was also home to architectural and engineering feats, such as a complex underground sewerage system and transit system, as well as the iconic The World Palace, before its collapse at the outset of the Battle for Verdon City. The city is divided into different sectors via barriers, each sector serving and reflecting particular social and economic functions.
