The City of the Sun

Description
The City of the Sun is the capital and administrative center of the Golden Kingdom in the Golden Continent. It is the seat of government for both Queen Catherine I and Godric, Duke of the Sun. It is the second most populous city in the Golden Kingdom after Eastport, but it's population is far less diverse and significantly less tolerant.

Districts
The Kingdom is divided into several districts and other areas. The city lies sprawled around the Grand Plaza in front of the Royal Palace. Immediately to the west lies the Market District, which includes the Royal Bazaar. Further west lies the upper class Residential District. Due south is the less-than-reputable Residential District, in which lies the Cloak and Dagger. The Commerce District lies to the east, along the banks of the River of the Sun. Adjacent to the Royal Palace lie the Royal Museum and the Royal Library.

Origins
The City of the Sun was founded in 65,000 B.A. by humans from the region near Redwater to the southwest. It steadily became the largest of the human city-states in the land. In 7,854 B.A., Nelson I, a nobleman from the city, established the Golden Kingdom. For nearly eight millennia, the City of the Sun has served as the kingdom's capital.

The First Imperial War
During the First Imperial War, the Golden Army was driven to the gates of the city after a series of crushing defeats in 4 B.A.. The army prepared for a last stand in the Battle for the City of the Sun. Thanks to an intervention by the Ancients, the Golden Army carried the day and won a critical victory against the Empire.
