Holy Corinth stands three miles from the once-thriving national port of the Peloponnesian Peninsula, built over the ruins of Ancient Korinthos. It is walled city, home to 4,500 survivors of the Calamity. It is policed by a militia 600-strong and houses a small Artificer factory and an air base where the AA maintains a presence of 110 soldiers. In addition to these mundane defenses, a council of psychics and theurges provide safety and guidance for the people of the city, and two Saints of the Beatified Legion, Saint Acacias and Saint Typasius. The city's welfare and infrastructure is maintained by its mayor, Galena Demitriou, who maintains a cordon of deputies who organize projects and events throughout the city.
Holy Corinth is a haven for travelers in the area, being the best-defended settlement within a hundred miles and possessed of a sound economy with provisions to spare. Many who arrive looking only for a brief respite from their travels find themselves settling down in the relative safety of the community. The city has not suffered a major assault since it was founded a decade after the Calamity had passed, and the roads leading from it are well-policed and free of bandits and raiders.
Cold silence has a tendency
to atrophy any sense of compassion
between supposed lovers.
Between supposed brothers.
