Afgurla
----------------
A large military truck, painted in white camouflage, soon met the group at the entrance to the air field. It's guns had been removed by a machinist for practical reasons, and to avoid any potential misunderstanding, though the large gun ports looked conspicuously empty.
The drive to Afgurla was beautifully scenic. Strict property use controls had left the area very rural and unpopulated. The scenic drive saw the beautiful meadows of the area, as well as many raised farms that towered above the rivers that laced the area.
"To protect our crops from flooding" The general explained and even pointed out the windmills that were used to irrigate the fields.
"Procellia is a socialist country, and due to our excellent central planning we always have enough to eat. We take great pride in our efficient use of the land."
As they crossed the lowlands a large pillar started coming into view, surrounded by the glittering ocean. As they got closer it was revealed to be a stunning city built on a massive island at the mouth of a bay. The island was ringed by massive walls, stuccoed a brilliant white that glittered in the light of the afternoon sun. However tall the walls were they were dwarfed by the massive city behind them.
Gleaming skyscrapers, of every shape and size one could imagine towered above the walls as if they were nothing more than a garden wall. Every single building was designed to awe, many featuring massive artwork, or modern forms such as spirals and even a pyramid.
"Welcome to Afgurla." The general said with pride
The truck came to a stop at a massive structure built on a bluff overlooking the ocean and City. The depot, for that is what it was, gleamed of polished steel and gold colored windows. The building had obviously been built with the intention to awe, and the effect had been met.
The truck drove along one of the many roads that spiraled through and around the megalith, finally parking along a drop off area which was packed to the brim with Procellians, all wearing various robes and capes in colors that would make a jewel envious.
"Your majesty from here we will be taking a train, as vehicles are not allowed inside of the city. As a matter of fact the 12:36 to the castle leaves in about 20 minutes."
