''' | Situated atop an island in the centre of the mighty [[Zaphar River]], '''Delos''' is easily the most well-known town in [[Sapience]]. Once the seat of the [[Church]], it has since redefined itself as a mecca for all things martial and mercantile. | ||
== | == History == | ||
Originally, Delos was the home of the [[Chrysalis Basilica]], and thus the capital of the Church. To support the Church and its endeavours, a thriving community of merchants sprung up upon the island. At the time, the Church was not an organisation devoted to Good, but to all gods. The Church itself professed neutrality - though it leaned unofficially toward Order and Good for many years - and so it was located upon the neutral ground of Delos. Once the Church announced its formal devotion to the causes of [[Aurora|Light]] and [[Deucalion|Righteousness]], the decision was made to relocate. In the year AF, the Church petitioned [[Sarapis]], the Logos, to move the Basilica to [[Shallam]], the long-standing home of those who would champion the light, and He consented. | |||
Since then, Delos has revamped its image to become arguably the socioeconomic capital of the world. In 193, the [[Matsuhama Arena]] opened its doors to the public - the very first official arena of its kind. This highlighted Delos' newborn status as a haven for all things combative. Much later, in 278, a surplus in funds from the Matsuhama Arena led to the rebuilding of its Eastern Bridge, leading to the discovery of [[Riparium]] in the depths of the [[Eastern Ocean]]. | |||
In 479AF, [[Zaphar (spirit)|Zaphar, the Old Man of the River]], was plagued by the machinations of [[Nomku]], a mysterious nightmare spirit. During Zaphar's madness, the [[Zaphar River]] and its inhabitant fauna were poisoned, and the river flooded Delos, reducing it to ruins. In the following months, the God [[Phaestus]] sent His mechanical [[automatons]] to assist in the reconstruction of the city, restoring it completely and giving it an entirely new layout to boot. | |||
==Shops== | ==Shops== | ||
As originally, Delos' core was composed chiefly of shops surrounding the Basilica, it is natural that in today's [[Modern Age]] the Delosian market would be a sprawling bazaar to equal no other. Aside from the countless adventurer-run shops, it is also here that the largest [[artefacts|artefact]] shop in the land, run by [[Merentesh]], is based, composed of the '''[[The Artefact Weapons Shop|Artefact Weapons]]''', '''[[The Defensive Artefact Shop|Defensive Artefact]]''', '''[[The Statistic-Altering Artefact Shop|Statistic-Altering Artefact]]''', '''[[The Artefact Special Weapon Shop|Artefact Special Weapon]]''', '''[[The Artefact Sword Shop|Artefact Sword Shop]]''' and '''[[The Miscellaneous Artefact Shop|Miscellaneous Artefact Shop]]s.''' Merentesh also runs a smaller, more mundane weapons shop in a separate structure nearby. Perhaps of lesser note is Merentesh's '''[[Sundries of Delos]]''', a sparse shop stocked with only the most basic of items including but not limited to sealing waxes, boxes, badges, and pennons. However, during [[Mayaween]] and [[Logosmas]], festive costumes and trinkets are put on sale here. In the '''Delosian Property Office''', room credits and door credits may be purchased to build or add onto one's house within a a plot in a [[subdivisions|subdivision]]. Familiar to newbies is [[[Vinci's Tattoo Emporium]]], where the artist Vinci [[inks]] magical [[tattoos]] - at an inflated price, of course, considering his [[cactus weed]] habit he must support. At the eastern edge of the town may be found the '''Delosian Stables''', where various [[mounts]] may be bought. | |||
== | ==Facilities== | ||
It is in Delos' various facilities and registration centres that the town truly surpasses even the great [[:category:city-states|city-states]]. The '''Clan Headquarters''' is located here, where, for 500,000 [[gold sovereigns]], one may register a new [[clans|clan]], as well as purchase permits for new clan slots. Of interest to craftsmen everywhere is the '''[[Delosian Crafters Union]] headquarters''', where one may buy permits for [[tailoring]], [[jewellery]], and [[heraldry]], as well as furniture and various other home furnishings. The '''Offices of the Delosian [[Lottery]]''' exist for those in [[Hermes]]' good sights, and in the nearby '''Delosian [[Bookmaking|Bookmakers]]'''' office, bookie licenses may be registered. In the '''[[Bloodline Registry]]''', families can formally register their lineages in permanent public records. Though other theatres exist throughout the land, the '''[[Scarlattan Theatre]]''' is the most prominent among them. However, perhaps the most popular feature, central to the town, is the '''[[Matsuhama Arena]]''', where even the most rugged of rogues in the land may test their mettle in the heat of combat. Of course, the '''[[Postal Office]] of Delos''' and '''[[News]] Archives of Delos''' exist as well, luxuries that all of the city-states are familiar with. | |||
== | ==Landmarks== | ||
The | The [[Delosian Bridge]] links Delos with the [[Prelatorian Highway]] and [[Raphaelan Highway]]s and for years was the only access to the isle. Near the Scarlattan Theatre lies the '''[[Scarlatti]] Fellowship Hall''', the gathering place for those of the Bardic and Artisanal [[Fellowship of Scarlatti|Fellowships of Scarlatti]]. Though currently locked in its entirety, the '''Temple of [[Agatheis]]''' may be found within the town's limits, as well as the exotic merchant stalls of the '''Prosperion Bazaar''' which is itself a part of the '''Temple of [[Prospero]].''' Housing the [[Delosian Guard]] is the aptly-named '''Delosian Guard Quarters'''. Of lesser note, perhaps, is the [[Eastern Bridge]] of Delos, which was often washed out until its rebuilding in the year 278 AF. | ||
