Cristoforo

*❝ Cristoforo is much larger than my home city of Foye, that is for sure.❞*
―Dustin Dmitri to Joey
**Cristoforo** (kris•TOF•or•oh) is the largest city in the state of Grillo, and the main setting for Revengeance II.

## History

It is unknown when the city of Cristoforo was founded, but it is known through Newspapers that the Stoneshore Lighthouse has existed as a clock tower since the early 1800s. Thus, it can be assumed that Cristoforo was founded in the late 1700s or early 1800s as gold and other precious ores were found on the west coast, and settlers moved west. The city may be named after Saint Cristoforo, who is a known Saint in the Revengeance universe as there is a Cathedral dedicated to him in Foye. Cristoforo then grew into a large metropolis over the course of the 19th century, and by 1900 (when Revengeance II takes place) it had grown to over 1 million residents.

## Geography

Cristoforo is located in the state of Grillo, on a peninsula toward the northern part of the state. The city has a geographic advantage as its position on the Pacific Ocean grants it access to the world's largest body of water, as well as its position along the Kingland Strait to the north and Bay of Cristoforo to the east.

## Appearance

Cristoforo is a booming metropolis featuring a plethora of ornate skyscrapers, mostly Victorian in architecture and style. Some of these include the Revclo Tower, Sandstone Tower, and Gattuso Tower, with the latter being the tallest building in the country as of 1900. The southern part of the city is less dense, featuring smaller houses as the city expands southwards towards the Plains of Cristoforo. The city also features many civic services such as the City Hall, prison, center for the arts, sports venue, and casino. It also contains plenty of shops that the player can buy items at, such as Taverns, Weapons Shops, General Stores, and even an Armory.

## Landmarks

Cristoforo is home to 15 Landmarks which each contain Newspapers. They are usually located in a chest inside or nearby the Landmark itself. Each Newspaper is from the Cristoforo Times, the city's news publishing company, and contains a short article containing information about their respective Landmark that the player can read. Finding all 15 will grant the player the Well Informed Achievement.

## Plot

Cristoforo is heavily featured throughout the map of Revengeance II. It is the primary location of the map's campaign and is where the player will be spending most of their time. The City Hall serves as the hub for the player and contains the map settings, Quest starts, and more. Joey Dmitri, the protagonist, owns a Safehouse in the western part of the city. The Brewing Business is also located in the city and is owned by Joey. The player can run that Business to earn extra Coins.

## Infrastructure

Cristoforo features an advanced infrastructure system, by far the most advanced of any settlement in the Revengeance series to date. The Pacific Union Railroad runs right through the city and connects the towns of Acacia and Tamarillo to Cristoforo. The Grillo Gate Bridge offers a rail connection between Cristoforo and the state of Petagna, carrying both people and commerce. The city benefits from both rail and maritime trade, with the Cristoforo Rail Terminal and Port of Cristoforo serving as the city's trade centers for those methods, respectively. The city of Cristoforo also features an expansive Cable Car system which can be used to get around the city.

## Climate

Cristoforo enjoys a temperate climate which is warm enough to support palm trees, as evident by the numerous palm trees present in the city. The city lies in the temperate-tropical zone of Grillo, so it receives enough warmth that it can support palm trees.

## Trivia
