City of Lights

The City of Lights is the only known city on the land of Eden. It is an extremely large settlement with two large circular walls surrounding it's territory. Within those walls are a total of nine town-sized districts: four between the two walls and four within the inner wall, with one larger district at the center of the City of Lights.

Geography
The City is assumed to be at the center of Eden. The walls stretch out to make a circle with a diameter of roughly 400 miles. There are old dirt roads that connect the districts with each other and the villages around the districts. The use of these roads, however, has been drastically reduced after the introduction of the City of Lights Railway System.

Geographical Features
Most of the City of Lights is relatively flat grassland, with large forests in between. The western side of the City sees more geothermal active areas, which pose extremely useful for the generation of power within the City. Within these areas are the Pits, which is the name for the deep mines used to extract raw luminite from the earth. To the north-east is an enormous mountain called the Spire. Found within a large mountainous area, the Spire is extremely high, reaching through the clouds into the depths of the sky, some might even say it pierces the heavens. There is one large river that originates from within these mountains. It falls down the side of the mountain and collects in a river that flows towards the center of the City. To the south-west, within the Inner Walls, is Lake Maria, a beautiful large lake within the City.

Government
The ruler of the city, His Radiance, resides in the Gaia District, the central district. Not much is known about him. The other eight districts are managed by their own governors. These governors are the highest people from the government who citizens actually know.

Law & Order
The City of Lights Police Department is the local police force whose duty it is to capture criminals, settle petty disputes, give directions, summon medical and priestly aid, generally performing duties that promoted the idea that the City of Lights is a city open to all who knew how to behave themselves. Those who were convicted could request trial at either the Court of the Public within the Swan District, or at the Gaian Court within the Gaia District and appeal to His Radiance himself, but those that have attempted trial at the Gaian Court have never returned.
