Radonstinatle

== Radonstinatle ==
Radonstinatle is the capital city of Essotori, as well as the headquarters of the Ascendancy. The city blends modern Essotori philosophy and architecture with foreign building practices, as well as ancient Tori culture, to create the ideal of the 'World City'. Ironically for it's name, casual travel to Radonstinatle is heavily regulated, and only truly open to those within the Laurel Pact, the Ascendancy, or a nation considered by Essotori to possess 'High Moral capacity'. The city stands above the long River Achalos, and while it's contemporary name comes with the Essotori conquest, the city itself has it's roots thousands of years in history. However, due to the secretive nature of the Essotori regime, and the purposeful destruction of history, it is difficult to verify many stories. The city is governed by the Radonstinatle Authority Administration, which contains the Baron of Radonstinatle, and the Radonstinatle Assembly.
Radonstinatle perfectly encapsulates the national policy of Essotori as a whole, that of Limited Exposure, showing tailored, limited versions of the city and the nation as a whole, while hiding the mundane or the bad behind bureaucracy. This is expressed through Radonstinatle playing host to a wide range of events, such as the World Hockey Tournament, (where only Essotori natives were allowed to spectate, along with foreign camara crews) several political conferences, and the olympics. However, foreign guests are not permitted to wander around the city without heavy scrutiny, and must generally stay to the Foreign Quarters. To travel as a foreigner in Radonstinatle is difficult, though not impossible. Once one has been screened, much of the city can be viewed, including the famous Radonstinatle University, among the greatest in Elparia, as well as the streets themselves. From the City, the immense height of the Palace of Origin can be truly put into perspective, with the Palace towering above the city itself, though travelling to the Exclusion Zone is not permitted, until conversion is officially undertaken, at which point, one is not a tourist. 
Radonstinatle is the most diverse city in the Ascendancy, though High Essospeak is the legally recognised language, Low Essospeak is used by minorities and recent converts. The population is eighty percent Esso, eighteen percent Tori, and two percent other, generally Suntterlandish, Nurasovaskan, or alien converts. The Palace of Origin itself is considered a World Heritage site, though inspectors and general tourists are not permitted to enter the Exclusion Zone, several miles of land where technology is not allowed, and is to be used as a pilgramage for local worshippers. The city is home to the Essotori Rail Network, which connects to the capital city, and monitors all railways in the nation. Radonstinatle defines Radonstinatle Standard Time (-4).
