City of Volkos: Background brief

The original eorna capitol, the City of Volkos has risen from the ashes after its destruction over 900 years ago. In reality the ruins of the original city remain as 900 years of entropy have ensured there is not much left to build upon. The resurrected city stands a kilometer from the ruins and the eornan sector is the most beautiful section of the city. The governor's quarter and the corporate enclaves are clean and utilitarian in their prefab lines but the Port District is easily the dirtiest and roughest section of the city.

Eornan Sector
This is the cradle of the reborn eornan civilization. There are still far too few eorna and they lack the political will to provide a unified front for dealing with the UPF and its citizens. The eorna are a race of individualist, dreamers and artist and may never reclaim control of their planet from the UPF.

This section of the city excels in beauty and architecture. It houses the Grand Eorna Council, and the native schools for educating the primitives. The eorna have also developed a thriving medical and bio-engineering industry that has helped greatly to fund their rebuilding efforts.

The Governor's Quarter
This section houses the governor's mansion and the headquarters of the Volturnus Protective Agency as well as housing for all civil service positions.

The Corporate Enclaves
Each corporate enclave is like a miniature city in its own right. Built as a company town designed to serve the needs of its employees with a self-contained housing arcology, security force, office block and other buildings as needed for business.

The Port District
The Port District is not really a port. It is the water front in Volkos and aside from a few corporate flagged ships engaged in under water exploration there is very little water borne shipping on Volturnus. The Port District is an independent section of town where out of work mercenaries, independent ship crews and mostly unsavory types congregate. Lodgings are cheap, illicit activity abounds and trouble is the major export with bar fights being a spectator sport.
