Rubicon

The city of Rubicon originally started out as an attempt by the Theocracy to create a manmade river across the Davidian Peninsula in order to provide ships easier access to the Magellan Sea, improving trade routes to and from the Kingdom of Velocitus.  However the cost in materials and manpower was too great, and progress was eventually scrapped as war broke out against the Iron Coalition.  Much of the city is now built around the awkward dent in the landscape. Its citizens will testify that it makes Rubicon one of a kind; a gift from the Gods themselves.  
In the wake of its failure, the city has found a new purpose in aquatic farming.  Built on and in between the Cherrypick Islands are numerous processing plants and nurseries for Aegis Aggregate. These unassuming grey and black lumps of rock are actually an extremely tough and prolific species of coral, which are the primary building material for buildings throughout the Theocracy.  A number of Rubicon’s more distinguished residents also live on the islands, in extravagant and well decorated mansions.  The largest and most famous of these palatial estates belongs to Jagermeister Tamsyn Orion, head venator of the Sacred Ministry Of Faithful Purity.  The property hosts many gatherings and parties to patrons from across the Theocracy, with bounties of food, drink, women, and religious substances such as Darling Berries or Sarmuusz.  The islands are known for their frequent cherry-red sunsets and sunrises.
Many of the residents of Rubicon have family or ancestry relating to Mullen Island and the Kingdom Of Velocitus.  Some are considered expatriates, which are handled with suspicion by the faith.  Despite this, the city is a faithful member of the Theocracy, consistently contributing the most yearly naval recruits out of any sector.  Other residents contribute to the large masonry and sculpture sectors of the city.  These workers have become masters of using Aegis Aggregate as their medium, sculpting beautiful statues and buildings that can stand indefinitely.  Cities across the Theocracy request their services should they need a monument erected or administrative structures placed.
