Lucifenian

Lucifenian was the capital city of Lucifenia, located along the Orgo River. The city bordered the Forest of Bewilderment near Elphegort and was the site of the royal palace for the Lucifenian Royal Family. Throughout its history, it remained a political and economic center for the nation.

Early History
After the Kingdom of Lucifenia was established by Lucifenia I in EC 399, Lucifenian was made the capital of the new nation and the Lucifenian Royal Palace was constructed inside. Sometime before EC 500, a group of bandits camped just outside the city and captured the daughter of a local blacksmith, the girl rescued afterwards by Leonhart Avadonia's adopted children.

Reign of Evil
With the rest of the kingdom, the people of Lucifenian became increasingly desperate and dissatisfied with the Lucifenian Royal Family during the reign of Princess Riliane, high taxes and countrywide famine making most in the city destitute. In EC 500 the residents of the city discovered Leonhart's dead body in the city's river, many concluding that he was assassinated on Riliane's order. His funeral was also held outside the palace, attended by his friends, subordinates, and relatives. The Lucifenian Resistance formed from a handful of residents in the city not long after Leonhart's funeral, beginning to reach out to the citizens disillusioned with Riliane's rule. While citizens were temporarily placated by financial support from Elphegort and Marlon, public opinion dropped again with the Green War.

Following the release of the Freesis Family from imprisonment, Keel Freesis and his family were placed under house arrest at the merchant, Corpa's mansion. After one of the citizens attempted to assassinate Prime Minister Minis in the palace, members of the Venom Mercenaries came to occupy the city and abused the populace. During this time, public dissent became great enough that riots broke out against the Lucifenian monarchy, incited by the Lucifenian Resistance.

Revolution and Republic
As the Lucifenian Revolution gained ground in the kingdom, Lucifenian served as the last stand for the Venom Mercenaries against the Lucifenian Resistance. The city was captured and the revolutionaries invaded the palace soon afterwards, bringing the Revolution to an end with the capture of the Riliane. After Lucifenia's occupation by the Kingdom of Marlon, the city remained the site of governance for the territory, and presumably remained a political center for Lucifenia after it was made a republic.

The home of the Langley family. Run by Chartette's father, the residence served as a blacksmithy for Lucifenian and was visited by many clients, including the Three Heroes, for weapons repairs. In the lead-up to the Lucifenian Revolution, weapons for the Resistance were also made in the smithy.

Orgo River
A river running through the city, the bank not far from the Avadonia residence. Leonhart's dead body was discovered in the river after his assassination.

Levin Cathedral
A center of the Levin faith, used as both a gathering place for parishioners of the faith and members of the clergy.
