Aurea

New Aurea is the capital city of the Kingdom of Aurea. It is nestled into the Morikomi mountains and is home of an enormous castle which has become the main symbol and landmark of the city. The government and administrative center of Aurea is located here.

History
The city was first settled in the Ellysian Empire by two nomads whom went by the name of Wojtek_Manbear and What_IS_Flavor. The land that makes up the city today was located on a mountain (named Mt. Morikom) which began to be dug out by the two before, with construction being added by new citizens like MrNobody2021 and Spyrotex1. Eventually large farms that were notable in the city were constructed on by the citizen HopscotchDemon.

They eventually entered the Mercurian Republic after the end of the Second Coalition-Ellysian War when Mercury annexed the lands that comprise the modern city.

Once the war ended, inhabitants of Aurea became inactive and after time they left the neglected city completely. Aurea was left to the Mercurian Council in order to destroy it or rebuild it. Eventually the city was given to two members of Maia, capital city of Mercurian Republic. The two members were called Dhement3 and VvitekK. They wanted to rebuild the city and restore it to a level similar to the city before the war. This began The Revamp, an event that got its name from the founder of New Aurea - VvitekK. The Revamp was a large operation in which all of the buildings, excluding the caverns, were destroyed and the terrain was smoothed. Reconstruction is still in progress and will be for a long time.

After the collapse of Mercurian Republic, the newly founded Kingdom of Aurea wished to seek more independent status from the collapsed and chaotic ruins of the fallen republic. With some effort and will to seek out independent status to their lands in the northernmost part of Mercuria they gained independence from Mercurian Republic at 4.11.2021. Soon they saw the need to create a administrative center for their new Kingdom, and so it was seen self-evident to form the New Aurea, or as also known Aurea to be their new capital city.

Under the reign of Queen Bee, also known as Cheezus69, massive urban revitalization has occurred. By comparison, this makes the Revamp seem small, as many dedicated citizens and consul members have labored tirelessly to make this growth of the city possible. Construction of massive defensive walls has began and plans for government buildings, public housing, and other public facilities have been laid out by her majesty.

Government
The current monarch is Cheezus69, who leads Aurea city as well as the entire Kingdom of Aurea.

City structure
The city of New Aurea is composed of two main districts. One is the historic "Old Aurea" which is walled off to be the most fortified city in the Aurean Kingdom. The second district is "New Aurea", which is composed with beautiful gardens and massive architectural wonders that are acclaimed throughout Eldham.

Old Aurea
Old Aurea is rich in history and the cradle of Aurea's beginnings. Thus, it was very important to the citizens and government of Aurea to preserve the old city streets and historic homes. This district is home to the oldest businesses and private residences of the Aurean kingdom. Nestled into the mountains and surrounded my massive defensive walls, the city is the most secure are for citizens to shelter in times of conflict. Within those secure walls, crops are grown to feed the masses, watered by the spring water from the mountains. The red and yellow Aurean flags fly proudly from the towers and out the window of every home. The castle towers over the city, a sign of the long tradition of a benevolent monarch that rules over the Kingdom. While no longer used for formal governmental affairs like it used to be, the castle's stone spires represent the very foundation of the Aurean Nation.

New Aurea
New Aurea was built with ambition in mind. The wide roads, towering architecture, and ornate decorations are the pride of Aurea. Aureans gather in the parks to tell stories and trade books, the factory produces anything Aureans might need, and many citizens call the massive apartment buildings home. The capitol building is where the Royal Council meets to discuss the matters of importance, and plan out further construction.
