Nouvelle-Amsterdam: Difference between revisions

'''New Nouvelle-Amsterdam''', previously known as '''Amsterdam''' and after '''New Amsterdam''', is a historic town first established by the [[Revolutionary Confederation]] then being claimed by the [[Grand Imperium]] and now inside the borders of [[Lumière]]. It is located in the -,- quadrant southwest of [[Lusitania]] and west of [[Varkonia]] across the [[Medi Sea]]. New Nouvelle-Amsterdam is located in an attractive and strategically-important river valley, surrounded by towering mountains to the east and west. The town served as the capital of Isi Province and the seat of that province's Lord.

Visitors to the town today can see ancient Confederation buildings from the early days of the server alongside modern houses of the Grand Imperium. The city takes inspiration from Dutch cities, with extensive canals, tall gabled 'grachtenpand' terraces and scenic bridges. The city today is largely abandoned after the inactivity of the Grand Imperium; it had within it structures of varied use, including a station, inn, library, shrine, embassy, bank, post office and many houses for workers, all decorated in the black-cyan-white tricolor of the Imperium. The city was renamed New Nouvelle-Amsterdam to mark its rebirth. A train line from Lusitania's capital of Portucale had been under construction prior to it's inactivity.
