Zenos Capital World of the 8th Crusader Order

Zenos, The Holy Capital – Pronounced Zee Nas, Zenos is THE Capital of the Eighth Crusader Order, a female ruled world of mostly modern style architecture and governing body. With a solid set population of 2,001,000 including male slaves actively being housed or living within the world, the actual average population rests between 2,500,000 and 3,250,000 people per day, with the number typically lower aside from festival weeks. Set in a world roughly half the size of Australia with a giant lake taking up about half the room in the center of the world and a year round tropical climate, the twelve cities that occupy the world are all heavily secured and positioned in a circle around the lake like the numbers on a clock face, with Zenos, the capital and largest of these cities resting at the honorable 12 o'clock position. Each city on either side of Zenos are smaller but still grand, going down in size until you reach the 5 and 7 o'clock cities which are small rural towns at very best, but barely still a city. At the 6 o'clock location however is a run down and poor slave center, where the majority of men are trained to be put to use throughout the empire. While some men are free, they are very rare and still sub-servant to women within the Eighth Crusade Ranks. Zenos itself is a divided into 5 major districts. AT the very center of the city, digging a bit into the cliff side, is the capital district. Along Main street rest the biggest and best of the shops to be offered on any world ruled by the Eighth Crusade, and just behind these shops and other extremely fancy and over the top service centers are the governmental buildings, tall glowing gold and silver sky scrapers that reach very high up into the sky. The largest of the sky scrapers built into the cliff side at the very end of Main Street is President Center, resting on top of the Center Fortress, and main hand of the Eighth Crusader Armed Forces. Parades in honor of the Great Goddess and the Armies that she gives favor to take place almost every month. Everything sold on Main Street is over priced, everything sold there strictly guaranteed brand name goods, where all things are bought primarily for the Name and less so for the product, ranging from food and clothing, to cars and weapons, even Brand Name Slaves, men who are personally put through hell and back to be broken and remolded by the top Slave Master's themselves to be sold for any number of purposes. No free man walks the streets of the capital district without very clearly being the escort for a female. Resting just outside the Capital district is the High Rise district, a large and thick ring of towers that act both as a fortress to the capital district, but also act as the real housing for those women with real power. Over 100 high rises with massive multi-floor pent house suites serve as the housing for any women with power, and only the best of the best get the pent houses which are as much as status of power as they are living space. To even be considered for residence in one of the towers, one must be a female with considerable power to begin with, either physically and acting as one of the better more upstanding crusaders, or politically and be on the path to rule over Zenos and its many lesser worlds that it rules over. Beyond the high rise district is the general business district, the third ring of the city, where the majority of shopping and business's are located. Beyond the business district is the buffer zone, a large more open space where the crusaders train and help to watch over the land, the majority of the Eighth Crusader Forces are located here. Finally, beyond the buffer district are the private farmlands, used to provide Zenos with all of the most important home grown goods there are. As style and grace are considered much more important then function to those in Zenos outside the Eighth Crusader war effort, everything is built to be beautiful first above all else. Its location is as important as its beauty as well though, not 4 miles from the outer most edges of Zenos's border rests one of the Great Chasms. This Chasm leads to the world the Majority of the Crusader Orders refer to as the Holy Land, Resting Place of the Great Goddess. A massive forest surrounds the chasm, but the entrance to the Chasm itself is a heavily fortified Gravity Train Station, used to prepare and see off both pilgrims and Crusader Armed Forces looking for the Great Goddess.
