The Vision of Caelora's First City
Ardyn summoned his top planners, engineers, military commanders, and economic advisors.
A grand holo-map projected the island — highlighting optimal zones for construction.
"This city," Ardyn began, "will not just be a symbol of our strength — it will be the heart of innovation, trade, and diplomacy across Terra Magna."
Selene smiled faintly. "Then what shall we name it, my King?"
Ardyn answered without hesitation.
"Virelith."
> [System Update]
New City Name Registered: Virelith — Capital of Caelora

Step 1 — Central Energy Grid Installation
With the Ancient Energy Core secured from the ruins, Ardyn authorized the creation of a Central Energy Nexus — a power source far superior to modern energy systems.
Massive crystalline pylons were installed across the city's designated zone, channeling clean, limitless energy.
This would power:
High-Speed Transit Systems
Automated Production Facilities
Holographic Communication Networks
Energy Shields for Defense
---
Step 2 — Construction of the Royal Palace
Ardyn's palace would not be a gaudy symbol of vanity.
Instead, it would serve as:
The Government HQ
Command Center
Emergency Control Facility
Diplomatic Embassy Grounds
The palace was designed with futuristic architecture infused with relic technology aesthetics — shining crystal towers, flowing water gardens, and defensive barriers unseen in any modern nation.
---
Step 3 — Port & Trade Hub Development
Virelith's port would become the largest in the southern archipelago.
Ardyn's system interface allowed instant summoning of:
Automated Docks
Cargo Handling Systems
Shipbuilding Facilities
Luxury Cruise Terminals
This aligned with his vision of making Caelora a tourism and trade paradise.
---
Step 4 — Residential & Commercial Sectors
Ardyn personally oversaw the design of residential districts.
Every citizen of Caelora would live in a modern, clean, and energy-efficient environment.
Features included:
Smart Housing
Public Parks
Educational Institutions
Medical Centers
Cultural Centers
A special Artisan District was reserved for creative industries, while Commercial Sectors would house future businesses, markets, and tourism venues.
---
Step 5 — Military Infrastructure
Selene handled military expansion.
A new defensive line would include:
Coastal Fortresses with Relic Cannons
Anti-Air & Naval Defense Grids
Rapid Deployment Airstrips
Naval Command HQ
Special Operations Training Grounds

The World Reacts
News of Caelora's rapid development reached the world stage.
In the World Archipelago Forum — a neutral communication network between nations and island owners — discussions exploded.
> "Is this real? That island was undeveloped just weeks ago!"
"Caelora might become the first independent kingdom in generations!"
"Who is this King Ardyn?"
Some saw opportunity.
Others — jealousy.
And hidden powers began to take notice.

Ardyn's Declaration
Standing at the balcony of the rising Royal Palace — Ardyn made his first public speech, broadcast across Terra Magna.
"To the world — know this."
"Caelora is not a land of warlords or conquerors — but of builders, dreamers, and visionaries."
"I welcome trade, diplomacy, and peace — but I will defend my people with everything at my command."
"Virelith shall rise — not just as my capital, but as a beacon to all who seek a new future."
