Neo Haven

### Ruler

While the city has no traditional government, governing duties are instead relegated to the mysterious corporation known as HEAVEN, and the president of the company, who also serves as president of the Spiral Isles.

### Influence

Influences appear to be mainly derived from Eastern American/Western European cultures. This includes most north eastern states, and Britain, Germany and Italy.

## Overview

**Neo Haven** was the first city founded after the Divide, is a major location within the Spiral Isles. The city is parted up into four major districts: countryside/farmlands, residential, business and the Center. The city is located on the center island of the Isles, also known as Haven.

Founded sometime after the Divide, Neo Haven became the first city, defying the very gods by sustaining life in a dead environment. Mile-high plated walls keep out the dangerous monsters that wander the wastes, and keep the citizens safe at all times. Exactly who founded the city remains ultimately unknown, though the public consensus is that the primary authority figures are HEAVEN; a corporation operating from the center of the city.

## City Landmarks

### Outer/Rural District

The entire outer ring of the city is purely farmlands. Since Haven is circular in shape, the outer ring is the largest, and the farmers there are paid handsomely to provide for the rest of the city. Considering that the rest of The Gates is deserts and mountains, grow-able food is a high commodity. Many come to question exactly how these farmers are able to even maintain their crops due to the arid climate of the region, but it seems more than likely that technological advancements or genetically engineered crops might be involved.

### Residential District

Between the rural and business districts is the residential quarter, more or less the effective suburbs of the city. Various streets wind in and out of rows of houses and homes, with little in-between. There isn't much to note within this portion of the city, save for some small, self-owned businesses and the local police department. It isn't entirely uncommon to find all kinds of small businesses throughout this district, ranging from bakeries to antiques stores, and a multitude of taverns and bars.

### Business District

Exactly what it says on the tin; the business district is full of corporations both big and small, making an earnest or dishonest living in the Post-Divide. Many of these businesses exist to make life better, but as always, there exists corruption in many forms. This district is in the inner city, surrounded by an inner wall with only four entrances at each cardinal direction. While common sense dictates that it's merely a defensive pre-caution, the actual reason is far more nefarious.

### The Spire

At the center of Neo Haven is the Spire; main headquarters to HEAVEN. The building itself stands 14 stories tall, forming an H with various catwalks between the connected buildings every 4 floors. The Spire is in immediate proximity to La Granda Airfield, where HEAVEN's air force coordinate their efforts and mobilize. Despite all of this, the Spire on the surface is the figurative and literal tip of the iceberg; a sprawling complex lay just below, acting as the control center for all HEAVEN operations. As the largest building in Neo Haven, the Spire can be seen from just about anywhere in the city.
