Aristotle

Aristotle is the Kingdom of Stands and the capital of the Stand Realm. It is home to a hearty population of well over one million. It is split into four sectors - Diogenes, Plato, Socrates and Democritus.

## Aristotle

### Origins Of Aristotle

Aristotle is well over thousands of years old - going back as far as the Age Of Beginnings, an undefined amount of eons ago. It was founded by a man whose name is forgotten, when he had come across a sprawling, and utterly gorgeous garden (now the Sappho Gardens) and had decided to set up camp there. Yet he was not alone - he was accompanied by a team of six, one woman who was pregnant at the time with a child that some widely theorize is the great-great-great-great and oh so many greats later grandparent of The World.

### Evolution of Aristotle

The Kingdom was born to a group of traders and nomads - so that is very much how it had started. The beautiful little newly-born settlement acted as a stopping-point for travelers of all shape and size - from all corners of the Stand Realm. And said humble beginnings was what allowed the Kingdom to become the proud, blossoming metropolis it is now. The beautiful place boasted such lush vegetation and such clean waters that others had began to settle there - and the little camp became a little village.

#### The Raiding Of Little-Village

And not long after Aristotle had grown into a little village, they were raided by an enemy camp that wasn't too far from Little-Village (said enemy camp would later become Pluto). Their motives? Supplies and weaponry, after the leader of Little-Village and the camp had refused a trade offer.

### Growth of Little-Village

Soon Little-Village, generations after the original six nameless founders, had grown into what some believe is the River City of old Stand Realm mythology.

## Trivia

* The Sectors are all named after Greek philosophers, and said philosophers influenced the themes running between the Sectors.

For example, Diogenes was said to sleep in massive bathing pots on the street. Because of this, all the homes in the Diogenes Sector look like massive pots piled together and stacked up.

Plato was the founder of the Academy, so that Sector boasts the finest schools in Aristotle, as well as some of the most high-end and expensive homes which resemble Greek temples.

Socrates was the inventor of the Socratic Method - and worked with things like justice. Because of this, the Socrates Sector is home to courtrooms, as well as some high-end shops and some of Aristotle's most expensive residences.

Democritus founded the Atomic Hypothesis. Because of this, the Sector he gives his name to is the home of sciences and technologies, with the most advanced housing in Aristotle.

Aristotle was the one who built off of Empedocles' "Air, Earth, Fire, Water" scheme and added in the idea of Aether/Heaven. He had also come up with the idea of four causes - for example, a table. Wood, carpentry, tools, with the final cause being dining.

* Three of the four philosophers that the Sectors are named after are connected in some way. Plato was the teacher of Aristotle, and was taught by Socrates. Diogenes is connected to Plato via the iconic "Man is a featherless biped" incident.
* The oldest building in Aristotle is the Copernicus Palace's basement, which is older than the Kingdom.
* Aristotle's most popular Sector for tourism is Socrates.
